What Clients Say About Dan

"I endured the Bell County justice system with great kindness and professionalism from this firm. My lawyer, Dan, was especially kind and helpful and genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. He was able to get the optimal outcome for me, and my gratitude cannot be expressed with words. The entire staff was always kind and willing to help, and were flexible with me as I paid my fees. I would genuinely recommend their services, as Bell County is not a legal system I would recommend trying to navigate alone. They are particularly uncaring and ruthless, while simultaneously being disorganized and without fact. Michael and Associates truly made all of the difference in not only the stress of the situation, but in the outcome. I highly recommend them!"

"The legal team did a great job all around. I went into this situation expecting the worst case scenario, however, Dan and his legal team worked wonders for me. They were extremely candid throughout the entire process and made me feel like they actually cared for me and my well-being. I cannot express the gratitude that I feel for them. I will suggest them for any legal endeavors you may encounter in the future."

October 2025

"Dan Dworin was recommended by a friend who spoke highly on the outcome of his difficult case a few years ago. So I called Mr Dworin when I needed a criminal attorney to advise me on a pending arrest. He listened carefully to the situation, answered my questions, and advised me on the next steps. Mr Dworin´s respectful attitude and professionalism gave me confidence I found the right attorney and advocate."

Merrin N.

May 2025

"Dan and his team were outstanding. I was never in the dark. Communication was on point. Dan was my attorney. Every penny I spent was worth it. He never promised me anything. He was honest and truthful. He was also open to suggestions/ideas. Even though the case was eventually dismissed, he never promised that it would happen. I'd recommend this law firm to anyone needing someone in their corner."
