Dan Gerl is your best bet.

Dan's adroit mastery of the laws greatly reduced what penalties I might have faced. Don't get a public pretender. Get an expert.

THANKS DAN!

In November, I got a DUI for the first time. I didn't know what to do or expect. Dan Gerl helped me get on the right track, and found several problems in the officer's report, and also with how the officer handled the breath test in my case. Based on the problems he found, he got my DUI charge droppe...d to Negligent Driving 1 right away, so I avoided having to report to probation.I'm very satisfied with my case result. The thing I was most worried about was my license being suspended. I didn't want to have to get an Ignition Interlock on my car, partly because I didn't want anyone (including my mother) to know about this. But because he was able to point out the problems in the way the officer did the breath test, Dan got my DOL suspension dismissed! Dan is a great attorney. he was trustworthy in handling my case and I was able to stay strong throughout. Thank you Dan for getting everything done clearly!

DAN IS THE MAN!

I was arrested for DUI in July 2012. It was the biggest mistake of my life... a frightening experience to say the least. I retained Dan Gerl and he made me feel at ease right from the start. He assisted me with a monthly payment plan that fit my budget and explained everything to me in way so I coul...d understand all that was going on with my case. When I had questions he had answers. He told me the first day that his goal was to get my DUI charge reduced, if not dismissed. I will admit I was a bit skeptical considering my high BAC (.208) but true to his word he did exactly that. My charge was reduced to Reckless Driving and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I can't say enough about Dan Gerl... without his help I don't know what would have happened. Thanks to him I have put this experience behind me and have my life back.

First DUI

Dan is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney, he provided me with a very solid defense. Dan was able to have my charge reduced and saved me a lot of time and anguish.When I saw others in court who were sent by their attorney who never showed, I knew I made the right choice as Dan was there t...o help me through the process. He kept in touch with me, set realistic expectations and ensured he followed through on all of my requests. In closing I will say it is difficult to find a trustworthy advocate, you will find this in Dan and know he will do his best.

Second DUI offense

8 years ago I was pulled over for a DUI after moving here from an eastern state. As I had no understaning of DUI laws in Washington, I refused to take the breathalizer test resulting in a mandatory one year suspension and much grief and loss of money. In February of this year I was again pulled over... for supposedly weaving across lanes. I unfortunetly had a better understanding of the law and followed all that was asked of me. After spending over $20,000 for my first offense and recieving little to no legal benefits, I determined to find a Lawyer that would listen and plan a defense that worked in my favor. Dan was able to have my DOL suspension dropped due to an improper stop. As we dealt with the Court aspects of the case he was diligent in moving the case forward and we eventually settled for a one month suspension and 6 months of classes. I can assure you that Dan did an excellent job at a fraction of the cost. As a white collar executive, I was deeply concerned on the effects this case might have on my career. Dan worked hard to make sure all court apperances, interviews and court ordered classes were scheduled around my job. I would recomend Dan Ger to anyone who is in need of a motivated, competent, compassionate lawyer.
