What Our Clients Say

View All Testimonials

He explained everything to me, what my next steps were and assisted me with the whole legal process. I can't say enough about how honest and upfront he was with me and was very professional the whole time! 10/10 would recommend to anyone. no need to shop around, money well spent!

Marcos

I came to Dan a few times and I want to say it was the best decision I've made. He was very straightforward with me and the best part is the many years of experience he has. He was able to pretty much guess the outcome of my case from just our first consultation. He's a great guy and very easy going and caring!

Emiliana

Dan was extremely helpful, he was knowledgeable and honest with the possibilities of the case. I had four felonies on a sales case and I was facing 8 years minimum with priors. He was able to negotiate with the D.A. to drop three of the charges and I had the choice between 180 days in jail or 45 days cal trans. He truly cares about his clients and goes to bat for them the way a lawyer should. Its more than just a job for Dan.
