Best lawyer

Daniel was amazing he took the time to talk to me on a Sunday (after the dui sat night) my husband and I were at the lowest point of our lives and so scared! He talked to me probely 3 times that day, I’m not sure what I would have done without his support. We hired him officially that Tuesday and he helped us along the journey. When we got to court he definitely stood out in the courtroom from all the other lawyers, they were just going thru the motions, right there we knew we made a great decision. On that Sunday I must of left messages for 10 lawyers but for some reason we felt most confident with Daniel! Then the big day came the final court hearing, he took the time to tell the judge all about our situation and our character, the judge listened and he actually got the case dismissed!! It was a miracle but he did it, we will be forever grateful for his professionalism and that he really went to bat for us!! Thank you once again!

The best lawyer

Hired Danny for a DUI case and he was extremely professional and always made sure the best deal was the endgame. Would recommend for anyone dealing with the same process.

Sound Legal Defense, #1 Trial defense!!!

In 2023, I faced multiple criminal charges and pending trials due to pleading not guilty. I retained Attorney Sheed after hearing about some of his past legal cases referred through a friend of a friend. Daniel has always been honest, direct and gave me realistic expectations to include both good and bad news and the outcomes. Daniel successfully defended me at trial in July 2023. The Prosecution attempted to stack the deck and paint a criminal narrative. Daniel helped the Jury to see the true facts of the case and with little deliberation obtained a"Not Guilty" verdict. In September 2023, Daniel defended me once again. The other charge did not make it to trial and the case was dismissed. I now have a criminal free record with firearms rights restored. My faith in the justice system has been restored. I would like to express my gratitude to Daniel for all he does in the pursuit of justice. Keep up the great work, Sir!

Attorney review

I was referred to Daniel from a friend who said she had a great experience with him. I am so glad she did because he is a great attorney. Everything went smooth, and better than I could have imagined. I definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with a legal situation. He’s great at communication and always kept me informed of everything going on with my case. I will also recommend him to anyone that I know that needs help with a legal situation.

Amazing Lawyer!

Daniel was amazing through out my whole experience. While Daniel was taking care of my first charge I was hit with another charge and he was still able to dismiss both even though it was looking bad for me. Not only does he know what he's doing but his prices are very reasonable and fair compared to other experienced lawyers.

Posted by Devin | September 16, 2023

Excellent Attorney

Danny helped me with two separate DUI-related charges. He never made me a false promise and always gave me reasonable expectations. It was evident that he put a lot of effort into my case, and didn't settle until he knew he had the best deal possible for me. In the end, he got the charges lowered and after everything was over, the consequences were minimal. Hopefully I never have to see him again, but if I had need I wouldn't hesitate to rehire him.

Needed help and information fast.(distressed)

When I needed help for a mistake, I called around and Daniel returned my call quickly. He was very knowledgeable about the situation and worked with me to retain his services. He always would respond and stayed up with everything that was needed. He stayed connected with me though the whole situation. I am definitely happy I found him and I have already recommended him to people. He is trustworthy and always honest and tells you what you need to hear and know. If ever I need something again. I will be going back to him.

Mr . Gray

Absolutely amazing!!! I live in So. Oregon and am not familiar with Washington. I got a DUI with an Attempt to Elude. I contacted probably 15-20 other Attorneys. Most of which refused to even take my case. If they did they were asking 20k +. Daniel Sheed not only took my case for far less than anyone else even quoted. He worked diligently and got my charges reduced. No time served, no probation. I got my life back!!! He worked for me and I appreciate everything he did! Hire this man!!! Seriously…. He’s worth it! Thank Daniel.

Daniel Sheed is very intelligent and well spoken. I wanted representation that could state my case in a convincing manner and articulate it well, he has these qualities. He also has excellent courtroom presence, this is something you can’t teach, he has a positive effect on judges and prosecutors he works with, which is important when you need good negotiating, I highly recommend!

Best phone call I’ve ever made.

Daniel was an amazing help to me in my situation. He was on top of my case from the moment I called for a consultation. He made an intimidating situation clear and easy to navigate. Daniel was proactive instead of reactive, I felt prepared for all possible outcomes. Because of his expertise and help my case was resolved quickly and without unnecessary extra steps. I highly recommend Daniel Sheed for anyone needs a straight forward, compassionate and well versed attorney.

Excellent Recommendation

I was very fortunate that my case never made it to court, during a two year time span I would check in with Daniel Sheed just to be sure that I was up to date, and hadn’t missed anything. Daniel was always assuring and respectful. I never felt judged or mislead, and he always explained things in a way that I would understand. I would most definitely recommend his law office. Thank You So Much

Great for a DUI

I got into dui trouble in February of 2021. I retained Daniel at that time. He has always been responsive and available. He would always give me sound advice after completely explaining my options. I also had some further trouble that Daniel took care of for me reasonably and timely. Getting a dui is a difficult experience, Daniel’s skill and expertise made mine as smooth as possible. I highly recommend him.

Best. Lawyer. Ever

What can I say about Mr. Daniel Sheed? He is honestly nothing short of amazing. I was facing a life altering charge and Danny worked hard and tirelessly for months on my behalf. I walked away with the BEST possible outcome. Danny is punctual, honest and will go to bat for you like Julio in the 9th inning. He will tell you things that you don’t want to hear but you need to hear. He sets you up with best and worst case scenarios so that you are prepared and can plan accordingly. Without him I wouldn’t be writing this review outside of barbed wire and concrete. He saved my life. He saved my family. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not grateful for having him literally by my side from beginning to end.

Excellent, competent, efficient and effective represenation

Mr. Sheed is an excellent and quietly aggressive attorney when it comes to advocacy. I highly recommend Danny for results. Good communicator, knowledgeable and pleasant with which to work. I recommend him highly.

Thanks Danny!

Danny is a great attorney who truly cares about the well being of his clients. He never hesitated to answer any questions that I had, and there were several. The most worrisome aspect of fighting a charge to a layperson, other than the case’s outcome, is understanding the legal proceedings along the way. Danny always made sure that I had all of the same information available as he did, in order for me to proceed in the most effective way possible towards the outcome that I wanted. Knowing that you tried your hardest towards your case and the decisions made were confidently yours can only be done under the guidance of an attorney that you can trust. Right from our initial phone conversation I was able to exhale. Knowing that I wasn’t heading into this situation alone, with a public defender that could care less the outcome, or a huge firm that may barely remember your name or return a call, was invaluable. Under Danny’s counsel, I was able to expedite my case and get my charge dropped. Thank you Danny for your help and humanity, and allowing me to begin to put this nightmare far behind me.

Knowledgeable and professional

Danny was in my corner a number of times. Couldn't ask for a better lawyer or a better guy. Not only did he help me reach the best outcome for my cases but I could tell he genuinely care. Would recommend 100%.
