Rating: 10 Lawyer Rating - 10 out of 10
Dan's intellect is far and away superior to most attorneys that you will meet. But he does not let that get in the way of his passion to help people. When those two qualities are combined, you get a lawyer that is not only willing to fight for his clients, but one who is well-equipped to do so. View More
