Customer Reviews for Daniel T. Pocklington
-
Hired Attorney 2021I am so grateful for Dan Pocklingtons help in my child custody case. I've hired lawyers before over the years, as the mother of my child has a high conflict personality. Dan stood out as a better listener, more compassionate and empathic towards my case and he charged me less than the other lawyers I initially reached out to for help. I truly felt heard and understood as the one hour consultation turned into an hour and a half at no extra charge. During the consultation he communicated his knowledge of the law that pertained to my case and he helped me formulate a creative path forward. I left the office feeling that I was taken care of. Afterwards, I prepared the information he requested and submitted it to his office. That day he reorganized and prepared the information I provided in a court-specific and court-friendly format and filed it with the court and the mother of my child. Again, making me feel like I was taken care of. The documents he prepared gave the mediator and judge a comprehensive view in an organized and yet simple way of what my child and I are up against with mom - and it didn’t cost me as much as the attorneys I’ve worked with in the past. I highly recommend Dan Pocklington.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
