Great Lawyer would recommend him to everyone I know

I hired on Dan after I was arrested for a DUI refusal. He took on my case and explain every option to me. He had plans upon plans on how to tackle my case. He was always very responsive and attentive to my questions and concerns. He is very well known with his peers and respected. Because of ...his knowledge and him going to bat for me I had a very favorable outcome. If anyone needs help and they don't know where to go I would highly recommend hiring Dan.

Hit and Run

I made a big mistake when leaving a bicyclist that I hit. Dan clammed me down and explained the law and what we need to do to handle this. The outcome was better than expected, keeping me from ruins. He worked with me on his fee. Great job.

Excellent Defense Attorney

I had my free consultation with Dan the day after my DUI. I decided to retain his services after that. He worked with me on my finances so I could retain him. He talked me through the process, and answered all my questions putting me at ease. He did an outstanding job at the DOL hearing, and I w...as able to avoid having my license suspended by DOL. My case lasted a long time, 21 months. But Dan always stayed on top of it, and focused. His prior experience as a prosecutor will be a great asset to you. I highly recommend him.

An Effective Results Oriented Attorney

In July of 2015 I was arrested for DUI. I am an older person and this was the first time I'd ever been arrested for DUI. I did not realize how severe the mandatory minimum sentence for a DUI conviction is in Washington State and this caused me a great deal of anxiety. Fortunately, Dan was able to exp...lain and walk me through the process and obtain the outcome I desired. Dan was able to plea the DUI charge down to Negligent Driving by the time of my Preliminary Hearing which was a huge relief. I suspect there was a good chance Dan could have obtained a not guilty verdict had we gone to trial but I found the King County District Court system difficult and uncertain and I just wanted to favorably end my ordeal which Dan accomplished.

Strong Knowledge of the Law

I was arrested for DUI and at first I had a different attorney. Even though I had no prior history, the prosecutor wouldn't agree to reduce the charge. I hired Dan Gerl hoping it would make a difference. Dan gave me no guarantees other than that he would fight as hard as he could for me. Dan discover...ed that the law enforcement agency negligently allowed key evidence to be destroyed and tried to get the case thrown out based on that. The court denied his request, but later Dan was able to get the case thrown out by persuading the court that the officer who stopped me had no lawful basis to do so. I am very thankful to have hired Dan Gerl to represent me in Court. I felt very confident with his strong knowledge of the law and aggressive approach in representing my case. Is this very knowledge of the law that set me free.
