Thoughtful Criminal Defense

Following my arrest for assault, I began working with Dan Olsen, who immediately helped me get on track with my defense. Dan's background as a district attorney helped me to understand the likely options and potential outcomes, and eventually, make the decision to go to trial. In addition to his sup...port in the criminal matter, Dan also connected me with resources at his firm that helped me file and be granted a restraining order which allowed me to return to my home. I am very grateful for Dan's professional, thoughtful, and knowledgeable counsel throughout this difficult time in my life.

The best experience I’ve ever had

I’m an outside state resident I had a reckless driving and endangering another person violation, and on top of that a warrant. I had been looking for a lawyer to call for a while and everyone I talked to was just not understanding my circumstances until I reached Baxter Harder Attorneys At Law and wa...s put in touch with Dan Olsen. That same day I was able to explain what had happened to Dan, he really listened and gave me consultation. Everything just felt right while talking to him, he didn’t rush at all, asked me all the key questions about the situation and took my case. Dan asked for more details to be sent and in constant contact with me. Dan was on top of the case. For the first step he had my warrant dropped and right away filed for a court date, and a meeting call. Dan explained further with what information he had received from the DA and walked me through with what will most likely happen from the past experience he had as a past DA himself. I was able to go in court by video call since I was an out of state resident and Dan was right by side. The Judge put me in for another court date and I was ordered to go in for fingerprints and pictures. Dan reach me again with and wanted a phone meeting before my next court date and I waited. On a Friday late afternoon while I was at work Dan called me and he said “I wanted you to have a good weekend and I didn’t want to wait till Monday to give you the good news, your case is DISMISSED and the Judge signed the paper 20 minutes ago.” It was as if spring was here again, I was thrilled, happy and so thankful to Dan. I knew I couldn’t have had my case dismissed without him. And the fact that he stayed late that day to give me the news was just amazing. I got sent all the papers that same late afternoon for my record and confirmed that I didn’t have to drive to get my fingerprints and pictures taken any more. I’m so glad I chose Dan from Baxter Harder to be my lawyer, I received an answer better than what I ever imagined. I recommend Dan to any one, the team is professional and outstanding.

Baxter Harder LLC, Daniel K Olsen

I reside in Pennsylvania when a family member in Oregon inadvertently ran into a serious legal problem. Time was of the essence because the charge was preventing future employment. I found the firm of Baxter Harder LLC and my case was assigned to attorney, Daniel K Olsen. Dan was extremely knowled...geable of Oregon State law and his communication, experience, professionalism set us at ease knowing he was working on the case. With Dan at the helm, our case moved quickly through the legal system and we reached a positive outcome. I would highly recommend, attorney Daniel K. Olsen of Baxter Harder LLC.
