A life saver.

A big firm in San Francisco recommended Dan Stotter when I'd exhausted all other avenues. I'm a journalist and author by trade, and had a FOIA request that was blatantly ignored by a government agency. I needed help, but lawyers were reluctant to go the distance given that I had limited funds. They a...lso weren't sure that my request rose to the level of the public's need-to-know. Well, Stotter believed in it, and carefully yet forcefully got the government to fulfill its legal obligations. He is forthright, professional, and clear. I highly recommend Daniel Stotter, and while I hope I never have reason to use his services again, I hope others will.

Great Attorney!

Dan Stotter took my organization's case when no one else would. Working pro bono over a period of several years (!), he created legal precendent and a decision in our favor. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are seeking a decent, patient, and highly skilled FOIA lawyer, you have foun...d one in Dan Stotter.

Sincere, Trustworthy and Kind

We have known Dan Stotter for nearly eight years and have seen firsthand how effectively he handles civil cases. He lead our neighborhood organization through a complex legal battle that no one thought we could win. It took four years but we prevailed, thanks to dan and his guidance and his willingne...ss to mentor some of our neighbors through much paperwork in order to save legal fees. That would seem to work against his ability to earn a living, but earns him a reputation for being honest, fair and concerned with helping people who do not have a lot of financial resources. Then on a personal note he helped us through a difficult situation with a less than honest contractor of our kitchen remodel with the same effectiveness and cost saving approach. We greatly appreciate all he has done for us and our neighborhood.

"Mr. Stotter is a foremost expert in FOIA law. I know very little about it. The advice and information he gave was extraordinarily helpful, accurate and effective; and his ability to understand immediately what I needed was extraordinary. Obviously, he would be the first person I would call and/or refer someone to regarding anything having to do with FOIA."

  • 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.
