Amazing Attorney

I highly recommend Dan and his office. In a time of need when no one else would help, Dan was there for me. He was extremely professional, stood up for me and what is right, and held the other party I was dealing with accountable. I recommend his office to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Could not have asked for better!

Dan was incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate in the way that he handled my case. He was recommended to me and I am so happy that I hired him. I felt very heard with my civil rights issue, and we were able to come to a good resolution with my former employer quickly and painlessly. Highly recomm...end!

5 Star is an understatement

Dan Hayward happened to be the last lawyer on my list after been rejected by nearly 20 diffrent lawyers. Other lawyers refused my case because it was hard to prove and if it did win it wasn't going to Be enough money to make it worth their while. Dan Hayward explain the steps and kept me up-to-date o...n upcoming expenses related to my case, which helped because my finances were not the best. Hayward counseled me on things unrelated to my case and always answered the phone we responded to emails in a very timely manner. He was the one that helped me when nobody else would I definitely recommend him, he won my case when others said it would be too hard to prove he put the time and effort and and honestly did all the work for me. I wish there was more I can do to repay him.

Consultation

Eventhough Mr Hayward does not practice the specific type of law that we need for our case, he took an entire hour of his time to listen to my case and give me thoughtful direction. Without any legal system experience myself, I found his wisdom extremely helpful and had me evaluate my case from a ver...y educated angle without making me feel like a small child (I do feel like one when it comes to the legal system to begin with). I would recommend him.

So greatful!

I would absolutely recommend Daniel! I had been dealing with an issue for years that I could not get a handle on. I had contacted lawyers and other professionals before him that would not help me and I was feeling beyond hopeless. When I found Daniel and explained my situation, he took on my case wit...hout hesitation and had it settled within a few months! I am so thankful for his help and expertise.
