Hired Attorney Daniel Denzer Munster

Attorney Munster was a pleasure to work with. My elderly mother and our family found ourselves bewildered by caring for her health issues, Medicare/Medicaid challenges, endless and confusing required forms, conflicting guidance, unresponsive officials, multiple government offices, etc. Despite our best efforts to navigate this space, and despite having hired a (different) local attorney to help us, it became obvious we needed deep expertise. We were fortunate to find Mr. Munster, who quickly and professionally guided us through the process. His expertise was immediately obvious and his demeanor was perfect. He gave us great peace of mind and we are grateful for his fantastic work. He is truly the best at what he does.

I requested a consultation to learn if my mother qualified for Medicaid. Daniel went over and beyond to explain all my options in great detail. I can tell you how through and compassionate he was. Although he explained that he couldn't help me I was given several other options. Thanks again Daniel.

I retained Dan first of all to obtain Medicaid approval for my Alzheimer’s stricken wife. Then to guide me through related projects of reworking wills and setting up a special trust. The situation was extremely complex. The odds of achieving Medicaid approval were long. The know-how required was deep, the time and tenacity to see it through even deeper. Dan pulled it off. He’s a bulldog who does everything ethically, thoughtfully and with total commitment to achieve the goal for his client. Which he did to A+ quality for me. A consummate pro and a good man.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
