Dan Frank Koukol

Dan fights hard for his clients and treats them as he would want to be treated. I relied on him and trusted him completely on every aspect of our case for legal advice. He is a fantastic resource and was always available for us in a moments notice. Having someone like Dan who has the knowledge and ex...perience to navigate through the legal system was been invaluable to us and we will refer him to anyone that is in need. Thank you Dan for all of your hard work. You have been gifted with an ability to treat people respect and dignity… you are extraordinary.

I hired mr koukol at the last minute one day before my preliminary hearing after the judge had said absolutely no more continuing and he took the case also only making me pay half up front and a very reasonable rate and got it continued and I only had to go a few more times and it was dismissed. I di...dn't even have to goto my final hearing and if I wouldn't have hired him I believe k may have been convicted of something I didn't do. he was very supportive and has connections to the right people clearly. He's an excellent lawyer and a very nice person

If you’re reading this, there’s little doubt that we have something if not everything in common: you don’t have the convenience of an attorney friend or referral, you’re either a first-time offender or in bigger trouble this time than the last, but most of all, you’re nervous, anxious, and maybe even... flat-out panicked at what a (perhaps minor) lapse in judgment may have done to your life—sound close? Well, take a breath. Dan can help—I’m absolutely certain. As a Ph.D. student I make my living conducting research, analyses and constructing intricately conceived theses; I’m methodical, obsessively calculating and thorough to a fault. I say this not to be boastful, but to make clear that in looking for an attorney, nothing passed unchecked; I researched nearly forty candidates before making a decision. That said, after two interactions with Dan I was sold. His approach was the same as mine: methodically attack from all sides, employ/deploy all resources, wage war on the ‘problem’ (the charges) from every conceivable front—period. During our second phone-call he demonstrated an astoundingly comprehensive knowledge of the law, and calmly articulated a plan to approach the D.A.—utilizing well-established relationships and in-roads—with an arsenal in my favor well before the case ever went before a judge. And it worked. One conversation with Dan and the D.A reduced my two felony counts to one misdemeanor—I was blown away (and maybe you’ve guessed by now I’m not blown-away easily). Further, he’s been honest, clear, asked a fair price—no ‘auxiliary’ charges materialized along the way—receptive, patient and above all, EFFECTIVE. Like you, I screwed up—there’s no question about it. In the end though, Dan made certain that screw-up didn’t derail my life. I could have very easily gone to prison for my offenses. Yet, as it stands now I have to take a class twice a week—it’s nothing short of remarkable. If this seems overly laudatory, if I seem like I’m overstating, if you’re suspicious that I’m his cousin, friend, or colleague trying to make him appear to be a miracle worker, I emphatically assure you I’m not. This guy basically saved my life, and I owed him this testimonial. Generally, I still subscribe to the stereotypes we’ve all heard about lawyers—Dan simply constitutes an exception.

When I first contacted Dan Koukol I told him I had been arrested on domestic violence charges. Dan told me he has been successful providing prosecutors with defense information before charges are filed and that he has had four successes in a row avoiding charges being filed in domestic violence case...s. Mr. Koukol suggested that I hire him immediately - before the charges are filed. I took his advice. I hired Dan for the limited purpose of doing a pre-charging investigation and report to the DA’s office. Dan’s investigator contacted me the same day and got to work on my case immediately. After the investigation reports were prepared Dan talked to the prosecutor and sent her the reports. Well, it worked! Four days later Dan called me and told me the prosecutor agreed not to file criminal charges against me! I highly recommend talking to Dan Koukol if you are in a similar situation. His approach saved me the anxiety and expense of being charged with a crime. I recommend Dan Koukol if you need a great criminal defense attorney.
