Hired Attorney 2024-2025I had the privilege of being represented by Dane. I can confidently say that he is a top tier defense attorney. His expertise and professionalism are unmatched. Dane is incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected, which was evident throughout the entire process. His understanding of the legal system, and strong relationships within the law enforcement and judicial community, proved to be incredibly effective in my case and cases of other people that I know that had also hired Dane. Dane is not only a highly skilled attorney but also someone who truly cares about his clients. He was always available to answer my questions, explain legal complexities, and offer honest advice. Dane is known as one of the best defense attorneys in the area for a reason.

Hired Attorney 2017-2018Dane was my attorney when I was charged with two Federal drug crimes: distribution of a controlled substance and distribution of controlled substance that caused bodily harm. The best thing about Mr. DeKrey is that he isn’t the average lawyer who only looks at the dollar signs of your case, he actually cares about the people he defends and believes in fighting for a fair sentence. He fights for what is right and has a lot of drive and ambition to do whatever it takes – even if the odds are stacked against him. I could tell right away that he wanted to get to know me and my story and not just about why I was charged. I could see he cared. Dane is easy to talk to and was able to break down each part of the law so it didn’t feel so overwhelming. He did a great job explaining key details about the law that some may overlook. I felt confident that I was getting the best possible outcome for my case – the sentence Dane achieved was even better than what I expected. Dane visited me once if not twice weekly to check in and give updates about the case.He definitely exceeded my expectations when representing me compared to other lawyers in the past. If you want someone who truly cares about the people he is defending – an attorney that genuinely cares about your well being and the job he does – Dane DeKrey is the one.

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.
