Thank you Daniel!

I really can't say enough good things about Daniel and his professionalism and his knowledge of the law. My son was in some serious legal trouble. I contacted Dan and the very same day he met with my son. It was an amazing relief for my son and I to have him do that. Daniel knows the legal system in...side and out. He knows all the players on both sides of the spectrum. Also, he did a tremendous job of communicating and explaining everything to us each step of the process. I truly can't recommend him enough. Because of his knowledge of the legal system and the fact he knows the prosecutors he may have to deal with, he saved me a tremendous amount of money by getting the case resolved as quickly as possible. He's a true professional and as great of a defense attorney that you can ever have on your side. Thank you Daniel so much!

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.

Very helpful

Did a very good job going over all aspects of my case. He told me the pros and the cons of my case and all potential outcomes when some lawyers only tell you what u want to hear.

Honest and Kind

Mr. Ledford was professional, understanding and always honest and upfront about everything that would happen during my case. He was very kind and gave me great advice. He took time to answer my questions and explain anything I did not understand. Mr. Ledford was always very prompt when filling me in ...with various details about my case. He worked with me and around my schedule to make sure I got the best outcome for my situation. I had a free consultation and never felt taken advantage of financially. I learned a lot from him and am very grateful for all his help and guidance. I would highly recommend Mr. Ledford for your legal representation.

Excellent and honest lawyer

Mr. Ledford had a free consultation with me which we discussed all my options regarding my case. His responses were very direct and honest regarding my questions. He didn’t make any promises to me about my case; he just told me the facts, and gave his counsel on what he thought we should do. I highly... recommend Mr. Ledford if you want an honest lawyer that has good communication skills.

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."

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.
