Daniel was very helpful with keeping track of my case as COVID-19 caused the date to keep being moved without notification. He was able to get my excessive speed violation down to a normal speeding ticket, saving myself a lot of time and money. He is a great defense attorney and will put your mind at ease if you end up in the same situation as me.
