Julie Kline

I am a public school teacher who pays monthly for a legal plan. None were able to help me. Mr. Smith took my case on a Monday, knowing we had to be in court in 7 days. He went above and beyond. He worked diligently, willing to meet on saturdays and was open for conversation should questions arise. He... was honest, formidable and straight to the point, yet compassionate. He supports and follows the laws and constitution that bind us. he has a remarkable command of the judicial system. My trial was today and it was dismissed. This is due to the diligence, overtime and personal commitment this man provided. If in need of an attorney, please call Mr. Smith! He will work hard for you! Just be honest and he he will do well above your expections.

Highly Recommended

I contacted Dan over issues we were having with another attorney in handling our case. Dan went far out of his way to help us. He researched information about the defendants that our lawyer had not even done. He gave us sound advice and offered to take over the case even though he did not usually com...e in on the middle of a case. I wish I had contacted him first. I will definitely come to him if there are further problems and would recommend him highly. Thank you Dan and may God bless you.

Ms.

I could not have asked for a kinder more professional attorney. He contacted me from information he found where I had filed suit against the City of Ft Worth Tx myself as I could not find an attorney to take the case on contingency bases. Settled out of court. Great guy.

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.
