A Good Resource to use

I consulted with Dan Olson and he was very polite and professional, he did not end up representing me in my case but he did prepare me to go at it on my own, he did alot of the leg work for me and was able to answer any questions I had via phone or email. If I had any other issues and/or cases I'd p...robably consult with him again and see what help he can provide me.

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.
