Incredible attorney

Incredible attorney and I highly recommend him for criminal defense. I was charged with a misdemeanor and he was extremely detailed and responsive even though my case was relatively straightforward. He explained everything in detail and I was very happy with the representation. He got me a great outc...ome and I had confidence in him throughout the case.

Daniel Sheed - Consultation

Daniel was extremely generous with his time, professional, and knowledgeable. Daniel took the time to truly understand my concerns. He listened attentively, asked insightful questions, and then provided an expert opinion. Daniel is clearly very knowledgeable and was able to provide legal advice taile...d to the specific situation at hand. Throughout my conversation with Daniel, he demonstrated genuine empathy. I never felts like simply another client. I would not hesitate to refer friends to Daniel or retain his services in the future. Thank you, Daniel!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I’d recommend Sheed.

Going through the legal system is daunting enough as it is. Having Daniel Sheed as my lawyer, I felt more at ease during the process. If I had a question or concern, he would make himself available to get a response to me whether by a phone call, return my text or email. I didn’t feel like just anoth...er number to him. I felt heard and like he was really on my side. That was important to me.
