Excellent representation

Daniel handled the sale of the water system for our HOA. He was very efficient and went the extra mile to save us potential lengthy litigation. His paralegal also helped to provide excellent service.

No communication until needing to pay yet another bill

We feel obligated to report to the Bar Association. Unfair practice, no communication. Daniel curses, and became rude as if he was to busy to deal with us. Will send emails 2min apart, but charges a 20min minimum for each email forwarded, and ea attempt to make a phone call. Daniel stated that he has... tried to call on 2 seperate occasions, however our records prove no such calls where ever made will forward to the Bar as well. We've emailed a list of questions to Daniel twice. ea time he states that he's answered the questions previously there by dodging answering them again. We have no idea what it is we are trying to accomplish, or what the goal is we're working towards. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone. Save your money and look for a competent attorney that will be more than happy to do their job. Daniel was very kind on our first meeting, all communication after signing to hire him has been a nightmare.

I am sorry that you are unhappy with my representation. Litigation is stressful and can be unpredictable. I am happy to discuss the issues you identified above privately so as not to waive attorney-client privilege. Thank you, -Daniel Berner

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
