Mr. Dane’s knowledge of criminal law is exceptional. Mr. Dane understands the criminal justice system from every angle. His former days at the district attorney’s office and his law enforcement background are invaluable assets. His intimate knowledge of the inner workings of those departments provide him with a unique perspective and advantage as a criminal defense attorney.
