We are extremely satisfied with the level of professionalism and knowledge that Dan brought to our situation. He is very thorough and has a gift to see many different ways to approach the end goal. Dan is kind and thoughtful, yet tough when he needs to be. He always takes the time to answer questions and never makes you feel like you are ignorant. Dan is always upfront about costs & expenses and gives you options to stay within your budget. I am so grateful to have had Dan guide us to success in such a difficult situation.

Worked with other lawyers in the past. Never have I had a better experience than with Mr. Vaña. I live in NY and still the communication was fantastic. Mr. Vaña took the time so I understood what was going on at every step. An all around great experience having Mr Vaña handling my affairs. Thank you again Mr Vaña!!

Mr. Vana is a professional in every sense of the word. He is, however, more than that. He can read a person. I felt comfortable to communicate any concerns, questions, even comments I may of had. Every step was explained, including each phase of the case and how it would be handled. My opinion was always heard .I felt secure in the knowledge that Mr. Vana was doing everything possible for me. The fact that I live 600 miles away only shows his level of commitment. I highly recommend Mr. Vana.

Absolutely incompetent. Ridiculous waste of money. If you are so unlucky to be represented by this "lawyer" you might as well get your check book out. You are going to pay whoever is suing you, and him. Guaranteed loss. Good luck to you!

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
