Great representation!!

I am 100% satisfied with the handling of my DUI case from start to finish. Daniel helped me get vandalism charges dropped and my DUI reduced to wet reckless. He made all my court appearances and I did not have to miss any work. If you need an attorney, especially in Butte County, you won't regret re...taining Daniel Ledford.

Criminal defense lawyer | May 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have both opposed him on a criminal matter in Butte County when he was a Deputy District Attorney there, and had informative collegial discussions with him after he had left that office and opened his own private law practice. I have always found him knowledgeable, congenial, honest, able to appraise both sides of a case realistically and dispassionately, and a loyal and effective advocate. I believe he has always striven to serve every client with excellence in every case he has undertaken, and will continue to do so."

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.
