Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Dan's the best kind of lawyer: the kind who will give you great advice and whose company you'll enjoy. I've gotten the chance to know Dan through a legal + tech meetup group that he's started here in Seattle. Dan's passion for improving legal services is obvious. I've also gotten the chance to hear Dan speak at legal conferences, so I can also tell you that he knows substantive issues affecting tech companies well and can speak eloquently about them. And if you categorize yourself as someone who likes to do business with fun and friendly people, you'll get that bonus too if you work with Dan."

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.
