About Daniel

Providing compassionate, thorough representation to clients charged with crimes in Washington.

I firmly believe that a criminal defense attorney doesn't have to choose between being compassionate and being a vigilant & effective advocate. I prefer not to leave any stones unturned and am not concerned with questioning the status quo. The job in any given case that needs to be done is the job that will get done.

Review Daniel Sheed

Excellent!!

Posted by

Never had to hire a lawyer before and didn’t have a clue what to do but hired Mr. Sheed at a friend’s recommendation and so glad I did! Mr. Sheed was great to work with, always quick to respond regardless when I contacted him. He was also very good about giving me a straight price which meant I didn’t have to worry about being charged for every question I wanted to ask. Very happy to say that my case has been dismissed :)

Great Work

Posted by

I was a client of Daniel and I just wanted to say that he's gotten my case completely dropped after reviewing it. I'm happy I was able to meet him and I appreciate his work. Hopefully, I won't get into any other problems, but if so, Daniel would be the first I would contact. Also, very affordable and stress-free.

Simply the Best

Posted by

When I refused the breathalyzer at roadside in 2018 I was extremely nervous about how I was going to move forward and how I was going to navigate through this. I went online and talked to a few lawyers for a free consultation. Out of all of them, Danny gave me the an answer that clearly showed he cared about more about clients than the other lawyers I talked to. He was sincere and brutally honest about what I needed to do and how he can help. I immediately felt like Danny was going to do what he said he was going to. During this time I lost my job and was separated from my wife. Danny worked with me on the payments and really showed me that not all lawyers are same. Even better he was able to reduce my refusal to a reckless driving charge. I don’t know how he did it but it was truly a god send for me. It was my first offense ever and he assured me that he would get me the best possible outcome and lo and behold he did. Danny is prompt, informative and down to earth which really stood out for me. I will definitely refer all my friends if they ever find themselves in a situation that seems impossible. I know Danny can do it. Thanks again Danny you are one of a kind.

Actual client

Here I am thinking “all these lawyers are just the same” After reaching out to a few law firms, whom never even gave me a call back.. I continued my search and shortly after, I ran across Mr. Sheed’s number and decided to give it another shot.. The very moment I spoke with Daniel on the phone, I felt that he took what he does very serious and at a decent and affordable price, I hired him to be my representation. He made me feel confident, and comfortable, simply by being honest and upfront with me.. He didn’t make any broken promises to me, he was great with communicating back with me ANY time I was uncertain or unclear about the allegations and most importantly he took his time to make sure that I understood my rights from every aspect. One of my cases, he was able to end my probation early. Another case, my charges were dropped down to a lesser infraction with a small fine.. If you’re looking for a lawyer that takes his job seriously and will fight for what you stand for, this is definitely the guy you wanna call !! I’ve never met someone with so much drive and dedication to what they truly love doing until I met him.

Effective and clearly priced

Posted by

Danny was great, providing legal guidance before I was charged as a courtesy. One I did require his services, the pricing structure was clear and upfront, no worrying about an hourly rate. In the end my case was satisfactorily handled with little more than community service to do. Would def recommend!

simply amazing

Posted by

Daniel was courteous and kind and most important honest during first consultation. He made sure that I fully understood what to expect and did not sugar coat it. He made sure that I would have options on how to pay him to make his living. I hired him s bit later after knowing what i can possibly lose without getting someone who can make sure i have the best chance or winning. From the beginning it was smooth sailing he was timely, honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Without his help and knowledge I would be back in the gutter because he gave me options rather then sit there and hope that i get a reasonable response from the judge blindly.

Experienced

Posted by

I liked working with Daniel. I was charged with a DUI and hit-and-run. He recommended an efficient DUI panel and alcohol assessment which helped a lot with sentencing. My license got restrictioned, but I never lost my ability to drive personally or for work. He clearly has a lot of experience and I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Best possible outcome

Posted by

My fiance spoke with a few attorneys and after speaking with Daniel Sheed she asked me to speak with him to see if I wanted to hire him for a criminal case that was brought against me. I figured I would just stick with a public defender because that was the cheapest route but I thought I would see what he had to say. After speaking with him I instantly felt at ease. He was professional, easy to talk to, answered all my questions, and I could tell that he was ready to do everything possible to get me an outcome I would be happy with. At the same time, without making any false promises. He was with me at each court date ready to go. Each outcome, more successful then the rest. Until our last court date, where the case got dismissed due to all evidence he presented and lack there of on the prosecutors part. Best possible outcome by far! I never thought that that could possibly be my result. I have never been happier I didn't stick with a public defender. And I will recommend Daniel Sheed to anyone looking.

Excellent

I have never hired an attorney before and wasnt sure what to do. Mr. Sheed is AWESOME!!! I couldn't ask for someone better. He never made me any promises except that he'd be there for me, and he was!! Mr. Sheed has helped me out criminally and worked with financially. Any time I've had a little question he has answered it for me without hesitation. If I had to start my process all over again I wouldn't change a thing. I recommend Mr. Sheed to anyone in some trouble and in need of some help! 5 stars isnt enough I give Daniel Sheed 10 stars!!!!

Plays to Win

Posted by

Danny did exactly what I hired him for which was getting my case dismissed, and he was good at it. He looked at my case which was driving while license suspended in the 2nd degree and was able to tactfully persuade the court that the case was bogus due to multiple reasons. He was very elegant and persuasive in court. I personally liked how he stayed in contact frequently and would explain his plans for my case to me in detail which gave me peace of mind. He's very passionate about helping his clients and keeps everything transparent when he's working with you. I like it.
