“I think it was done well. Divorce isn’t fun. I hope to never see the inside of that court building for the rest of my life for any reason, but I felt like Daniel and his team were in control like smooth operators during my case, so it put me at ease eventually. Having my life in the hands of the State and an estranged wife is something I’ll never do again, but it felt good to have someone in my corner who knew the process and how to help me. …”

“Strategically, you all do exactly what you say you’ll do … I respect how you run your business very professionally. From the same day call backs to the courtesy check ins. You all are very professional … Dan has been very proactive in working with other attorneys when necessary. In my past experience, other attorneys would use their lack of knowledge or experience as a reason to drive up my bills and “dance” around the issue. Dan has not done this at all and has been extremely professional! Overall, I’m very pleased! This has been a much better experience than the prior attorneys I worked with on my divorce. I really feel different about my experience with Dan. He’s been extremely professional. He is always responsive and gives me factual, law based, solid information whenever I have questions.”
