They Really Care

I was helped by Dan Olsen and Kerri Baker. Dan listened to everything I had to say and was very easy to work with, he did amazing work with my case making sure I was helped to the best of his abilities and really saved me on money and stress. Kerri helped me with everything in between and made sure I... understood everything that was happening, she really did make the whole process very smooth and had great attitude whenever we spoke. I definitely recommend these two and the firm they work with. I would rate them six stars if I could!

Great Team

Dan & Gretchen were both professional & kept me updated on what was going on with my case. Dan explained things thoroughly so I had few questions. Thad was very helpful with my case also. Gretchen was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend your firm & I was very satisfied with the outcome ...of my case.

The ICE man DAN

NOT GUILTY!!! AMAZING!! I'm so grateful for the Baxter Harder Law Firm, specifically my legal team Attorney at Law MR. DANIEL OLSEN and his Paralegal Assistant MS. GRETCHEN BUSKUHL!! I am a Commercial Truck Driver that was charged with a DUI, putting my career and future in serious jeopardy. The D...A had two State Troopers testify and lots of evidence that pointed to my guilt. Through my legal teams; excellent communication with me, incredible attention to detail, hard work and ability to guide me in the right direction. I felt confident going to trial. I truly believe that they are the sole reason I received a NOT GUILTY verdict! Thank you so much to everyone in the Baxter Harder Family!!!

Thank you so much

Wow, I cannot say enough about this firm and Daniel, he was amazing. Helped my family through a difficult situation, explained the complicated court system and broke it down so it was easy to understand. He made a scary situation seem like there was light at the end of the tunnel. His experience i...n the DA's office was extremely helpful to our case. We couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Thank you again.

Great Attorney

I would like to extend our thanks to the firm of Baxter Harder. Casey Baxter could relate to our down to earth right is right and wrong is wrong philosophy although the law may be very different. Our legal team of Casey, Phil Duong, Dan Olsen and our paralegal, Kerri Baker went beyond our expectatio...ns. Our attornies worked together to achieve an outcome of ultimate dismissal on all charges. This was a very political case and we are business owners in a very small town. We are very happy with the outcome of our case. A special thanks to Kerri for keeping us updated on each an every step along the way.

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.
