I first met Dan after letting go of other legal representation and needed help with my case. Dan was instantly reassuring and most importantly he listened and cared. He is very professional and honest. Tells you right up front how things are, possible options and outcomes. Doesn’t make any false promises and is very responsive. Responds quickly to texts and phone calls, which is very reassuring when you are facing charges . Dan works quickly yet super efficiently and effectively. Within just a couple days he made more progress in my case then prior representation made in months and he did so at a fraction of the cost. I hope no-one finds themselves in the same situation as I was in but if you do I highly suggest you make the right decision and go with Dan and save yourself time and quite possibly your future.read more
