Daniel is the best

Daniel was the absolute best! A car hit me while I was on my bicycle. The driver then drove off! The entire incident was so stressful, but Daniel took care of everything. Daniel explained everything, kept me current on what was going on, and promptly returned all calls. I would not have been ab...le to handle all of the stress of an accident and injury without Daniel. I am so grateful that I chose Daniel as my attorney.

Excellent advocate

I was more than pleased by having Daniel Ajima as my lawyer for my case. He was there for me as it was his case. Providing me and updating me with any information on my case way of head a time. He won my case and came up with excellent feedback from the court.

EXCELLENT!

Mr. Ajema is such a professional! His knowledge stems from being a former prosecutor and therefore he has experience in litigation and motions hearings. Contact him with any questions and he is able to direct you to a solution! He speaks fluent Amharic in addition to his vast knowledge. I highly reco...mmend Mr. Ajema!

Through the trial, and before and after, Daniel always showed class and integrity, even empathy for my client. I was impressed by his knowledge of the law and his courtroom presence, and I know now that he is representing clients on the other side of the aisle he is a dedicated advocate for them.
