Mr. Mellen called me back almost immediately with assistance to a case im dealing with. Sadly. He doesn't practice the type of law i need counsel for but he was very kind and helpful with as much information as he could offer! I am sad I can't hire him to represent me but I'm glad to know there are caring attorneys in this area!

Great job! Getting a ticket dismissed for a cdl-driver is not an easy job, but Dan managed to do it! The communication was clear and fast. I totally recommend this attorney and am very happy with the outcome!

I was charged with driving while suspended, unregistered vehicle, along with failure to appear. Let me tell you I was so stuck legally speaking I didn?t know what to do. Dan really HELPED me understand the process so much better, as well and get all of my charges reduced to the most minor fee. He is also extremely affordable and just overall a fantastic attorney to use!

I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel Mellen as an attorney. My son was facing rape charges. As the Mom, I was so needing information and support to help navigate the legal system. Mr. Mellen is an excellent communicator. He is professional, honest and compassionate. I felt that he went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome.

Mr. Mellen is an awesome attorney that helped me with my theft 3 case. He was quick to respond to any necessary questions or concerns I had. He helped motivate me to become a better person after this incident. He definitely is someone you?d look for if not more in an attorney.

Dan is amazing! I was wrongfully charged with a DUI right before the pandemic started. Dan was very knowledgeable and communicated very well with me. He explained what would happen and what the possibilities were in a way that I could understand. Dan was able to get my DUI amended to infraction. I highly recommend him!

Dan is clearly knowledgeable about the law and passionate about helping people. Not only that, but he explains things in a way that makes it easy to understand for someone without his level of knowledge and he is very patient and willing to answer all kinds of questions.

I highly recommend Attorney Dan Mellen. He clearly outlined a plan of action to approach my husband's case and gave us truthful expectations on how things would go. He is good at his job and we are lucky to have had him represent my husband.

I was charged with a DUI two months ago and I did not qualify for a court appointed attorney. Dan reached out to me after sitting in on my DUI hearing and not only offered to represent me but at a cost that I could afford. He kept open lines of communication, answered all of my emails, phone calls and text in an extremely expeditious manner. He was kind, non-judgmental and very thorough. I would absolutely recommend him and his services!

If you are looking for an attorney who will truly represent your interests and fight for you, then Dan Mellen is where you should begin and stop looking. After my son was charged with felony assault I sought out Dan's help. I can truly say I am totally satisfied with the counsel he provided my family. If you are looking for an attorney, I highly recommend you contact Mr. Mellen and seek to engage his services.

Mr. Mellon is an excellent listener. He follows up and does what he says he will do. He jumped on my case in the middle of my trial after me attorney died, and did an excellent job picking up the pieces and following up on the casw

Seriously an ?A? class attorney. Professional, and straight forward. He really helped out with my DUI charge. I had never really dealt with court proceedings. Made my head swim, but Dan really helped out. He got the job done, and the end result was the best it could be. I would definitely recommend him.

I got a ticket and Dan gave me advice that got it dismissed. He was professional as well as personable. He patiently explained legal jargon when I'd ask, answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly, and is extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend him!

Dan mellen is a great attorney. I got a theft charge like 5 years ago and he sat me down we went over what happened he gathered all the evidence and said ok let's try to get it dismissed and that's exactly what he did. By far hands down the best attorney

Dan is a very understanding professional lawyer. My experience with him was top notch. It didn't matter what time of day it was he always answered the phone or texted back immediately. I would recommend him to anyone who needs defense. I have had a DUI charge and Daniel got me a sentence with no jail time as well as got all of my fines waved. Thanks again Daniel for the hard work and understanding.

I contacted Dan about help with something discovering it wasn't his area of expertise. HOWEVER, this man listened to me, offered to not only find/forward the info I nedded--he even wrote up his own version for me to use if I prefered. You don't find many people in ANY field willing to do this anymore His help really helped me immeasurably.

I was accused of a crime that wasn't true and mr. Mellon helped me with a civil compromise (I did not even know such a thing existed) and he got my case dismissed. Very pleasant to work with.

I would absolutely reccomend Daniel, as he is a fantastic lawyer and has helped me several times. He pulled calibration reports from a faulty police station breathalyzer and helped me severely reduce a faulty DUI conviction. He also helped me win an unemployment appeal where I was wrongly terminated. He is highly intelligent and will go to bat for his clients. 10/10 Would reccomend. Give him a call if you need any legal advice, he is an excellent defense attorney.

I got accused of a crime and the prosecutor tried to have me held in jail while the case was pending. Dan got me released and got me into a program where I might actually get the case dismissed. He also got one of the charges that was a bad one to have on my record dropped for me which really helped me out. I will be going back to him if I ever find my self in a situation where I need representation.
