Dan saved my career and family

Dan Gerl did an amazing job in representing me in an unfortunate incident this year. I was pulled over for a simple driving infraction, but the bigger problem was I had a suspended license due to an earlier DUI (in central Washington). This simple infraction turned into driving on a suspended licen...se in the 3rd degree and came with a mandatory 30 day jail sentence. I was beside myself; I was floored by the situation I found myself in. I’m a white collar professional and my career was just taking off. I’m a husband and father of four – this was obviously something I could not face alone. I found Dan after an intensive internet search. Out of the 10 attorneys I called, he was one of the few who actually listened to me. He put me at ease in the first 5 minutes of our conversation and I knew he was the only person I could trust with so much on the line. Other attorney’s brought up their fees in the first two minutes of our conversation. Dan didn’t bring up money until I brought it up. After I retained Dan, he immediately took off and began all the leg work. He called often and would text me updates when I couldn’t take his calls. I never wondered where we were with the case and he made sure I understand our situation every step of the way. More importantly, he continually reinforced the positives and kept my spirits up throughout the length of the case. I was able to be mentally present for a 50 hour work week, a wife, and 4 kids during this whole ordeal. My first experience with an attorney was a nightmare and I wasn’t sure what to expect this time. Dan was sincere and actually cared about the case. I work for a major local corporation and this would have ended my career. There is no way they would have approved a 30 day leave of absence for this situation. Facing 30 days in jail was a nightmare waiting to happen and would be the second biggest setback in my life, only behind my DUI. Amazingly, Dan was able to reduce my driving on a suspended license in the 3rd degree (mandatory 30 days in jail) to a simple traffic fine. I couldn’t believe it. My whole world was on the brink of disaster and through Dan’s hard work - he saved me and my family from a life changing experience. I recommend Dan to anyone regardless of their situation. He’s worth every penny and more! He never judged me and helped me understand that good people sometimes make stupid decisions. I was only driving because my friend wasn’t feeling well and asked me to get us off the interstate. I never thought a simple favor would turn into what Dan helped me through. I truly believe my life would be upside down right now if I hadn’t met Dan. Thanks Dan!

Excellent Lawyer!

I hired Mr. Gerl regarding my DUI case. Confused, and worried about my possible outcomes for this matter I was quickly put at ease as Mr. Gerl educated me on the laws and possible positive outcomes for my case. His intelligence and persistent demeanor allowed for him to negotiate a favorable outcome ...for my case, which resulted in bartered down DUI to a negligent 1 with significantly reduced fines. With extreme satisfaction in his services I have recently referred my family and friends to Mr. Gerl, and would recommend him and his excellent staff to anyone

DAN IS AN ASSET TO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM!

Words can't explain Dan Gerl. Dan is trustworthy, extremely knowledgable, tactful, realistic and an asset to the justice system. Dan is very thorough and realistic with his clients. Dan looks at the big picture, realistic approach and outcomes. Dan is on top of things. With Dan on my case, there... was never a time I had to ask how things were going or what was next... Dan was always 100 miles ahead of me with interviews, planning and tactic. I would recommend Dan to anyone during these stressful times.

DUI

Dan is the best lawyer I have never met. He is consistent and wanting to help me as much as possible. He let me know the status of the case at least two or three times a week.

Thanks for getting my life back

In January 2010 I was facing a prior DUI and a brand new one -- two DUI charges at the same time. I was in trouble! My best friend referred me to Park Chenaur & Associates. When I got there I explained my legal situation as well as my financial status. They were very understanding and helped me with ...a reasonable payment plan. DUI attorney Dan Gerl represented me; he looked at every aspect of my case, and he was able to negotiate a very favorable resolution which resulted in one of the charges being dismissed. The way he handled my case gave me hope, and made me as though I was not going through this alone. I want to thank Park Chenaur and Dan for getting my life back!
