I have to say, Dan was very professional & resolved my legal issues with complete success. We will be reaching out to Dan for any future legal assistance.

Contract Dispute

Mr. Hanifin represented us in a contract dispute case against one of the largest companies in the United States. Although he was up against deep corporate pockets and teams of attorneys he did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Mr. Hanifin.

Traffic violation

Mr Hanifin navigated the legal system for me. He was kind and straight forward as to all possible outcomes. Dan calmed my fears and prepared me. For the day.

Lawyer Daniel Hanifin

Dan stood up for me and also gave me the advice I needed to hear. He gave me a chance to survive my life and move on to be better at my abilities by providing me the assistance in court to help the judge see my potential. 8 months later I am still on the right track and finally at peace with my life... for the present and future! Thank you Dan!

  • 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.
