Criminal Defense
“Dan’s adroit mastery of the laws greatly reduced what penalties I might have faced… Get an expert.” — Larry (Criminal Defense Client)
“Dan continually reinforced the positives and kept my spirits up throughout the length of the case. I was able to be mentally present for a 50 hour work week, a wife, and 4 kids during this whole ordeal. My first experience with an attorney was a nightmare and I wasn’t sure what to expect this time. Dan was sincere and actually cared about the case. I work for a major local corporation and this would have ended my career; facing 30 days in jail was a nightmare waiting to happen. Amazingly, Dan was able to reduce my Driving While Suspended charge – and mandatory month in jail – to a simple traffic infraction and fine. I couldn’t believe it. My whole world was on the brink of disaster and through Dan’s hard work – he saved me and my family from a life changing experience. I recommend Dan to anyone regardless of their situation. He’s worth every penny and more! He never judged me and helped me understand that good people sometimes make stupid decisions. I was only driving because my friend wasn’t feeling well and asked me to get us off the interstate. I never thought a simple favor would turn into what Dan helped me through. I truly believe my life would be upside down right now if I hadn’t met Dan. Thanks Dan!” — Alfred (Criminal Defense Client)
“Dan represented me in a DV case. He handled it as if I was his only client. I was very impressed with the amount of time that he put into it. He was able to very clearly explain all of the steps of the legal process and walked me through everything. He genuinely cared about my case from the first time we talked all the way through the trial day. His representation resulted in a dismissal of my case. Although I hope to never need future legal help, if I ever did, I would return to Dan without a second thought. I would 100% recommend Dan Gerl for anyone in need of representation.” — Aaron
“Dan is the man, Was patient with my case, never let up on the prosecutor, and took them to trial. He knew his stuff, and ultimately got be a better deal than I ever expected. As well he always answered my calls. He was recommend to me by a friend, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has found themselves in a bad situation. Seriously Thank You Dan!” — Stephen
“Dan has been a true advocate for helping my family and I through a difficult situation. Finding yourself in a position that could take everything from you is never easy, but having him in your corner provides a genuine peace of mind. He is a true professional that got me the best possible outcome, one that I didn’t expect. He has always made himself available to answer my concerns and questions with honesty and respect. The best move I ever made was to have him represent me. If there were more stars available I would give them.” — Ben
DUI
“Dan and his team were very professional and knowledgeable, and they have a good reputation and success rate when it comes to these matters. It also helps that Dan used to be a DUI prosecutor, so he knows the ins and outs of the system well. They are very punctual, reliable and make the situation as simple and stress-free as possible. All in all, I rate them 5 outta 5 stars, I would definitely go to them again and would recommend them to anyone with these legal issues!” — Vadim (DUI Defense Client)
“We were very happy with the excellent counsel and representation we received from Dan and his team. Our case was complex and challenging, involving 3 different county courts and sentencing and some unexpected twists and turns. Through it all, we were in frequent communication with Dan and his team, seeking advice and understanding about pending court appearances and sentencing. They guided us to about as good a conclusion as we could have hoped for.” — Sherry (DUI Defense Client)
“I am so happy I contacted Dan’s team. The stress of going through legal issues is so enormous I wasn’t sure I was going to make it out in one piece. Dan walked me through the process with great confidence and lots of encouragement. He is very well known with the court staff including prosecutors and judges. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Could not be more happy with all his hard work.” — Cassie B. (DUI Defense Client)
“I hired Mr. Gerl regarding my DUI case. Confused, and worried about my possible outcomes for this matter I was quickly put at ease as Mr. Gerl educated me on the laws and possible positive outcomes for my case. His intelligence and persistent demeanor allowed for him to negotiate a favorable outcome for my case, which resulted in bartered down DUI to a negligent 1 with significantly reduced fines. With extreme satisfaction in his services I have recently referred my family and friends to Mr. Gerl, and would recommend him and his excellent staff to anyone!” — Whitney (DUI Defense Client)
“I was arrested for DUI and at first I had a different attorney. Even though I had no prior history, the prosecutor would not agree to reduce the charge. I hired Dan Gerl hoping it would make a difference. Dan gave me no guarantees other than that he would fight as hard as he could for me. Dan discovered that the law enforcement agency negligently allowed key evidence to be destroyed and tried to get the case thrown out based on that. The court denied his request, but later Dan was able to get the case thrown out by persuading the court that the officer who stopped me had no lawful basis to do so.
I am very thankful to have hired Dan Gerl to represent me in Court. I felt very confident with his strong knowledge of the law and aggressive approach in representing my case. Is this very knowledge of the law that set me free.” — Enrique (DUI Client)
“Dan helped me with a Boating Under the Influence charge. Since this is a fairly new law in Washington state he had to do some additional research to determine the best way to fight the charge. We ended up with the outcome I was looking for. Dan was always very responsive during the whole process.” — Scott
