This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Tough litigator

I have worked with Dan as both opposing counsel and as a fellow prosecutor. Dan is a tough litigator with a sharp legal mind. I watched him do back to back first degree murder trials of two co-defendants, with winning results in each, after winning tough battles along the way. You can't go wrong w...ith Dan on your side.

"I have worked with Dan both as opposing counsel and in the same office. As a prosecutor Dan was excellent, pursuing his cases diligently and with an intelligence that saw numerous successes. As a defense attorney Dan brought the same skills to bear for his clients. He will always exert the full measure to help his clients and I have no qualms recommending him to anyone in need of a capable and hard-working defense lawyer."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Akers is a serious lawyer who works hard for justice. He is a former colleague and adversary. I worked with Dan at a defense firm and against him when he became a prosecutor. He is highly ethical, fair minded, and knows how to try a case."
