Posted by Jake | January 27, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Mergers & Acquisitions

A Professional and Outstanding Lawyer.

I cannot recommend Daniel and his firm highly enough… Daniel helped me negotiate a buyout agreement and I was extremely happy with his work. Honest, professional, authentic, and extremely knowledgeable. The other reviews on Avvo for Daniel are accurate – He really cares about his clients and it ...shows in all of his correspondence. He was quick to respond to my questions, and kept me informed of any updates, even when he was out of the office. Always direct and to the point, he didn’t make false promises or tell me only what I wanted to hear. My situation was a tough one, but Daniel made navigating it a much easier process. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you look elsewhere for legal counsel.

Daniel John Ichinaga's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Daniel
Jan Phillip Olson headshot
Jan Olson

Business lawyer | Sep 25

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse Daniel. He is a 'lawyer's lawyer'. He is meticulous. He is thoughtful. He is reasonable. He wants the absolute best for his clients. He treats every case & every issue with the same degree of importance. He thinks 'outside of the box' to come up with creative solutions to problems. He is collaborative as much as possible, but can be a very strong and skilled advocate when the situation demands so. Business owners and educational institutions can not obtain a more professional attorney."

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.
