TESTIMONIALS

  • “Daniel McGuire is an amazing attorney he helped me finish my child custody case with my abusive ex and Daniel got me everything I asked for that was all in the best interest of my child."

    J.Y.

  • “We hired Dan McGuire to represent us in a CHIPS case and he did such an amazing job we had been fighting the county for over a year with a court appointed attorney and were getting nowhere despite the fact that we were doing everything the case plan. That was when I hired Dan McGuire. as soon as he came on the case we immediately got our visitation restored to 3 times a week!! At the next review hearing he was able to get my daughter returned to me for the trial home visit phase of the case and then shortly after my full legal and physical custody returned and case closed!"

    M.T

  • “Dan helped me with my custody and child support case over the past 1.5 years. Dan was consistent the entire time. He stayed calm and took the time to understand the situation I was trying to navigate and always put my child's best interest first. In every decision I had to make, he took the time to help me understand all my options. He has always been responsive, well prepared, and is an expert at what he does. I highly recommend Dan for legal representation."

    A.Z.

  • “I had Daniel McGuire as my lawyer. He represented me very well. I won custody of my daughter and he fought hard for me to gain that. He did not hold back when it came to fighting for me."

    M.S.

    K.D.

  • "I hired Daniel McGuire for a custody case, he was very knowledgeable, patient and explained everything in detail to me, while looking out for my best interest. We were able to come to an agreement in mediation. I am very thankful I hired him, because without him representing me I wasn’t sure what steps I needed to take to get custody of my son back. I was able to get 50-50 custody of my son and I’m very grateful for my time with him. Dan is very experienced in the these type of cases, so I would definitely recommend him to anyone in my position. THANK YOU DAN!"

    H.P.

  • "My case was a very complicated divorce and custody case. When I came to Dan I had been told by multiple attorney's that I had no chance of getting my child back given the circumstances. Dan took on my case knowing that there would be obstacles. This case crossed state lines and he was extremely informative and accessible throughout the entire process. Dan was respectful and responsive the entire time. He expedited the process and worked very hard for my family."

    A.B.

  • "I was overwhelmed walking into the custody and child support process unsure who to trust, where to start, and just hoping to find someone who would truly fight for me and my kids. That’s exactly what Dan did. He listened, cared, and fought like it was personal to him. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely goes above and beyond. When I felt like no one was fighting for me, Dan did and trusting him with my case was the best decision I’ve ever made."

    J.B.

    Colleague Endorsement

  • "A Truly Exceptional Attorney! This man is special. His memory, articulation, writing skills, compassion, understanding, and knowledge are absolutely top tier. I have been through trial with him twice, he has represented me in countless matters over the past five years. Parenting time assistance motions, contesting false Orders for Protection, Child Protective Services representation, and finally, a custody modification to sole legal and physical custody. He has also had the other party held in Contempt of Court twice in my case. This was an extremely difficult case, and I would never have trusted anyone else with it.Without him, this could have gone on for years. He has won 100% of my cases over the last five years.that was a lot of cases unfortunately. With him by my side, He saved my life and my son’s life.His work is impeccable and incredible. He will put in 18-hour days if that’s what it takes, drafting orders,100 page affidavits, or whatever needs to be done, turning each one into a masterpiece. His dedication and knowledge is unmatched. You can always trust him and please listen to him, he is objective during times when you are not. Follow his advice. He knows exactly what is going on and will never lead you in the wrong direction. For anyone who isn’t a lawyer, understanding the legal system, especially in Family Law, can be extremely difficult. But he has a way of explaining it clearly and preparing you every step of the way. He is prepared, just magic in trial! I don't know how he can retain so much information, it's unbelievable. He has never steered me wrong, not once. Pure genius. I am so grateful for him. I’m truly speechless. There isn’t much more I can say other than this attorney is absolutely amazing. This man has given me the best days of my life. I have never witnessed such brilliance. Thank you so much Dan!"
