Here is a prime example of a Law Firm that suffers from it's own good deeds. I was a paralegal of Daniel's and did some contract work for him also. After seeing and hearing from most of his clients I advised Daniel that he wasn't billing enough for his time. Daniel's response was, " My clients have been through enough...", after which I explained that in my observation, the clients that were hardest to work with or most impatient, were actually the ones that never paid or were constantly behind paying for their services. Those that made complaints with the bar were particularly shady in my observation, not disclosing pertinent information about their case and in one instance they had stopped payment on a check, after services were already rendered (you know who you are), or just promised to pay and never did. One client was even upset that Daniel advised that her son was facing jail time. Feeling that this constituted a threat the client made a complaint with the bar. In following up on the case, even with a new attorney her son had received jail time, so in this case what she was told was true and intended to be honest advice to the client, but the truth was too harsh? All other complaints that I heard about were without merit and dismissed. Following up with the clients that took their cases to other attorneys I found that in most every case the new attorney was paid in full up front and did much less work, often setting the case back or settling for much less than they had hoped for, or what Daniel was prepared to fight for. BOTTOM LINE! Daniel is a fierce advocate for those with hardships and is willing to work with anyone within reason. Where other attorneys focus on the turn-over of cases Daniel is there to defend his clients best interests. If you are looking for an ex-prosecutor who always sides with the courts then by all means give them your business. It is just unfortunate that some of the more dishonest people Daniel has dealt with have repaid his kindness with bad referrals and unpaid bills
Pros: Professional care, personal touch
Cons: No Drive thru window
