Daryl John Lander

I contacted this lawyer to help me with my restraining order and to represent me at my hearing. During our first phone conversation, he asked me to email him 60 pages of restraining orders so he could see my wife's accusations against me. I had to pay over $120 for faxes. When this lawyer received my... restraining order, he called me to ask me 3 questions, this lasted 10 minutes. He told me that he would finish reading the restraining order and then call me back. I waited hours, days without a call from this lawyer. I left him emails, voice mails... he never answered me. I then decided to call him back and he told me bluntly that he could not help me because my wife's accusations were serious and he did not want me to lose my money. that my wife has a 97% chance of winning her case and that I should find another lawyer! This lawyer is not professional, serious, he made me waste my time, my money and when you are a lawyer, you do not speak to the client like that by saying that my wife will win // he already gives an answer for this hearing, which has not yet taken place and as if he were the judge! A lawyer must fight for his client, even if his client is the worst serial killer! This lawyer is not professional, not serious, he wastes money unnecessarily, does not respond to emails, phone calls and voice mail that we leave him. Lawyer to avoid at all costs!!!

The other negative reviews accurately reflect my experience with this joker of an attorney. He promises to help protect children from domestic violence and endangerment. He even offered a special discount, from a special place in his heart. He became wildly upset when asked to fix the hot mess he mad...e with my case due to “his failure to properly represent his clients”. He then accused me of not paying, but I had the receipt of his payment and he was so disorganized he couldn’t find the original contract. He had me prepare documents and write declarations for months. He missed hearings, didn’t submit evidence or declarations. When he did show up to hearings, he looked like the courtroom jester. The result ? One negative outcome after the other. Those positive reviews? Likely written by him and his secretary. Look up the “divorce” case in which he represented his “secretary”. It’s public record. Report this joker to the State Bar so no one else is duped into being a sideshow for the court room jester.

I have been very disappointed in the past with Lawyers that promise the moon but fail to deliver anything, several thousand later. Mr Lander was quick, and responsive, and forthcoming with answers. Mr Lander summed up my issue within minutes and offered to meet with me for a fraction of what another ...attorney had charged me, and had still not solved the issue. I now refer ONLY, Daryl Lander. He is trustworthy and honest.

Started with The Attorney's Referral Network. I called them and they referred me here. To a bad attorney. Mr. Lander told me he would cut me a deal if I didn't tell the Attorney's Referral Network. Apparently they take a cut. Should have been my first clue. I never saw a BILL. Ever. Never saw a pap...er. Never received a call-back. He did not do his job. I never knew WHEN we had court. He did not do anything I asked him to do. Yes, I am divorced - but that was all in the works before him. I even asked him to change my name back. That wasn't done either. I'm still hyphenated - at least to DMV and the bank. The only two places that care. He sent me a Substitute of Attorney to withdraw from the case when I complained to my ex-husbands counsel. Yes, I did that. I wondered WHY my own attorney couldn't do his job. SO I asked the opposing counsel. I should perhaps call the State Bar and make a TRUE and valid complaint. And tell them everything. A poor attorney and bad judgement on my part. Don't hire him.

Daryl Lander was Lazy , ill prepared for my Divorce case, acted and reassured me this was an easy case, DID nothing for me and let the my ex spouses attorney walk all over him. reminded me of the attorney from the movie My cousin vinny who stuttered and couldn't beat his way out of a wet paper bag. H...e did not win one argument and I ended up pay more support and alimony than what I orginally negotiated myself. To top that off I ended up paying over $80k in back support because as I lost my job and my ex spouse gained employment, i made Lander aware this and he said he would take care of this by filing a modification, I called him several times to remind him of this and he never filed on my behalf, I asked for my money back and he said I did file a lot of paperwork and he could not provide me with a breakdown of costs because he was so unorganized.... this guy is worthless just like the other review said..I would not refer this joker to anyone only if I wanted them to Lose their pants.
