Very Effective and Friendly

Lance is the best. I first hired him on 2008 for a DUI case. It was a tough case but he was able to reduce it to a Wet Reckless charge with the minimum fines. Now 8 years later I hired him again to help me expunge the conviction off my record. He took care of everything and I didn't have to do ab...solutely nothing! Great guy, very responsive and he knows very well how to navigate the court system. I highly recommend him.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr Daniel is one of the brightest lawyers I know and he is certainly the most effective. His brilliant style incorporating strategic and tactical aspects of a case from beginning to the end greatly benefits his clients. The bottom line is he gets the job done more effectively than most lawyers out there. He is one outstanding practitioner who is both an excellent writer and a great litigator. I would trust him if I ever was in trouble."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
