save your money
biggest concern is money his love life and is good friend with D.A. so much he is afraid of her.He loses documents and evidence is hard to get a holed of and his conversation are as brief as possible.Dan is not fully prepared when going to court.
I represented this client from April of 2013 to December 2013 for owning dogs for the purpose of fighting, felon in possession of ammunition and possession for sale of cocaine. In reviewing his file, it appears that after hiring new counsel he accepted the same offer to plead guilty that existed from the first day. I spent many hours with this client answering the same questions over and over. He would leave voicemail messages exceeding 3 minutes on a regular basis. A particularly difficult person to deal with.

The case was dismissed prior to my arraignment and I have absolutely no criminal record because of Dan. ...
