"Daniel Ledford is an excellent advocate and a true gentleman. His credentials speak for themselves. Very few attorneys in Northern California are as approachable and thoughtful as Daniel Ledford. These attributes, together with his unique litigation skills set him apart. For all of these reasons, his clients trust him with their important legal matters.

"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."
