Dan might be a great lawyer but would not recommend as his paralegal Melanie. She is a nightmare to work with! If you’re not familiar with the process (which I wasn’t) she took advantage and would blame me for things being “late” or that it was my fault. The paralegal is the more affordable legal provider of information you have and she was awful. Unfortunately, she believes she has all the control and will make you feel as helpless as you felt when you probably first started your journey of trying to find the right lawyer. She is extremely judgy and doesn’t care about the clients just how she looks to the “boss” her attitude and lack of professionalism are ultimately why I decided to end my time with Dan as she was quick to withdrawal from my case once I stated pointing out flaws within her work and lack of integrity, without speaking with Dan. If you are looking for a way to get bamboozled out of money and taken advantage of then go for it, but I can’t in good heart recommend a lawyer that will stand by such a nasty hearted person. She will blame everyone else but herself and take no accountability and for that I wish he would find another paralegal who knows what they are doing or an assistant that can take a message and know how to schedule appointments.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. West; whose service has proven to be exceptionally valuable, supportive, and distinguished. I believe Mr. West stands out as a true exemplar of legal professionalism and dedicated service. He and his team's unwavering commitment to the betterment of clients, their issues, and the community has been both evident and impactful. Through years of principled dedication, particularly in my extended family law issue, he became a beacon of rationality and disciplined thought which proved vital for my survival during the chaos of an extended custody battle. What distinguishes Mr. West is his profound dedication to ensuring that I received not only expert legal guidance but also compassionate support during my contentious family law situation. His principles and unwavering dedication have significantly contributed to resolving my conflict with integrity and sensitivity. I firmly believe that when seeking counsel, particularly in family law cases where emotions often run high, Mr. West and his team should be at the forefront of consideration.
I have no reservations in making the highest possible recommendation for Dan West Esq and his team. Dan is knowledgeable, fair, and honest. He is readily available when needed and always eager to help. Mr. West is a fantastic lawyer and brings a sense of peace and calmness to situations that are very stressful and challenging. I am incredibly happy to have Mr. West help me through a difficult divorce. Thank you Dan, Melanie, and Tatianna!
Great experience. Completed an adult adoption with ease and within budget. Friendly office staff, who answer phone and return calls. Would absolutely recommend to family and friends.
Dan West is AWESOME! I highly respect him for the fact that he's 100% honest and up front, never giving us any false hope. He keeps our feet on the ground and doesn't present us with expectations of something he's not absolutely sure of. He is an aggressive, honest, hard core, tell it like it is kind of guy and in my opinion, there's no better quality in an attorney. Sure, just like most attorneys, his rates are a little high, but the quality of work and results are 150% worth the price. Other attorneys charge the same rates, but pad their hours, don't maintain constant contact with their clients, and don't produce the same results as Dan. Going into our contempt case, Dan was very honest with us that it wasn't black and white, and based on the evidence, it wasn't a sure win, yet Dan took over that courtroom and his confidence, and blatant, tell-it-like-it-is demeanor, turned our case into not only a win, but an absolute GLORIOUS VICTORY! We got more than we were asking for, and we owe it all to Dan! And let's not forget about his fantastic staff! Just like support staff is crucial in any office environment, the same goes for an attorney needing a GOOD paralegal. Melanie is just that to Dan. She is friendly, honest, responsive, organized, and always follows through with what she says she's going to do. So I have to HIGHLY recommend Dan West and his staff to anyone who is in need of an AMAZING Family Law attorney. He's well worth the money!
