This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Incompetent

Mr. Laguna proved to be incompetent when he handled by divorce. We parted ways, thankfully, and I was able to achieve a favorable settlement, even though there were many setbacks due to the time I was working with Mr. Laguna. He was very poor with communication, missed important dates, did not share ...information with me relevant to my case, did not provide critical and appropriate guidance, and was unprofessional. I would never recommend him to anyone.

Replied last August 25, 2018

Confidentiality rules and professional decorum preclude me from specifically responding to “Tara’s” feelings. But I regret to hear about any displeasure with my legal services.  In private practice, I worked hard to provide effective legal representation to every client.  I advocated zealously for my clients and maintained the highest level of professionalism possible providing legal services.   My goal with each client was to carefully assess the legal matter and develop an effective case management plan with reasonably attainable goals.  Each client has different circumstances and the legal services necessary vary from case to case.  Unfortunately, there are circumstances that can arise that prevent effective legal representation.  In instances when clients had unreasonable expectations or behaved in such a manner that created a conflict in the attorney-client relationship, termination of the relationship was necessary. When that has occurred, I reimbursed all retainer deposits minus court fees.  Combative or clients with confrontational personalities will generally have a bad experience with any lawyer. There are times when there is no viable legal remedy available and client’s direct their dissatisfaction with the law towards their attorneys. This is common in law practice and when outcomes are not in a client’s favor.  Civility, professionalism and ethics are not considerations for these clients.

100% recommended

I would highly recommend Mr.Laguna for any family legal issues you may have. He is very professional and easy to get a hold of, he will respond to you on a timely manner. He has helped me with a very hard case dealing with a unreasonable ex husband. Thank you Mr.Laguna

Great attorney!

Daniel is a great person and even better attorney. He helped me through a very contentious custody matter with my ex-girlfriend. I am very satisfied with his guidance and the outcome of my case. He was honest and direct in his approach with me. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr. Laguna is very professional and diplomatic

MR. Laguna provided excellent service when I hired him to represent me in my child support case. He was more than willing to work around my hectic schedule in order to gather all the information that was needed to adequately prepare for my case/ hearing. He worked hard and diligently to get the appro...priate stats to the judge and file on time. He was always very pleasant to work with and always available when I needed a question answered. To me, that showed dedication to his profession as well as compassion for my situation. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Laguna to friends and family.

Great lawyer

Daniel was professional in every sense of the word. He made things simple and convenient for me and my family even in a sensitive time. I appreciated everything he did for me and he showed that he cared. I'd recommend Daniel to anyone in need of a great lawyer.

"Daniel is a lawyer who is special. He cares about his clients, but does not afraid to tell his clients what it is as what it is, without sugar-coating stuff. He is also a sensitive lawyer who understands what his clients are going through. Not only that, he cares about his community and he volunteers his time at a domestic violence clinic. Any client who has him as a lawyer is lucky to have him."
