Highly informative lawyer, a true gentleman who took time to give the right advice, showed compassion and most of all made the whole process surprisingly simple. My whole experience with Daniel Forrest and his office staff was exceptional. I would definitely recommend him.

Robert:

I have been divorced 3 times so I know a thing or two about divorce Lawyers. Daniel Forrest took over my case after I fired an attorney and what a HUGE difference he had on my case. Mr. Forrest and his paralegal Meredith are truly the “A team” of family law and displayed high levels of consistency, knowledge, follow-up skills and strategic intelligence which all translated to firm representation of me and my case. I would hands down recommend Daniel to anyone that I know!

RM:

I would highly recommend Daniel E Forrest. From the very first moment I met him at his office I felt I was with the right professional showing me how extremely knowledgeable he is in the family field. I realized how detailed oriented he was when he showed me his strategy to overcome the issue I was facing with a delicate case of domestic violence with false statements from the other party. Daniel was able to prove to court that I was been put in a unfair situation with being outside my house and not able to see my child. Thanks to Daniel I could come back home and re-united with my son again after weeks of separation. Thank God I had Daniel to represent me and that he was able to prove my innocence and get my case dismissed.

Gabriella:

Daniel was my attorney back in 2014. He is a nice man, very professional, same goes for his staff. He has worked tirelessly on my case that my abusive ex husband and his unethical, immoral attorney tried to make as horrible as possible. They refused mediation, or any talks that could’ve led to an amicable agreement; their goal was simply to destroy me. Thankfully they did not succeed. Daniel was there for me as an attorney, and since he’s also a parent, he helped me with some great advice and ideas regarding how my son and I could cope with that very stressful time we had to endure. Last year I called him and asked for his opinion on some issues I was dealing with. He remembered me, inquired about our lives, and gave me good advice. He is an attorney you can always count on!

I never do endorsements but am making an exception for Daniel Forrest and his staff because of what a great job they did for me.

I know the difference between an effective family law attorney and a bad one–my first attorney had me with a one-sided, onerous permanent alimony settlement for the last 7 years that I only was able to honor because I had a great job which unfortunately I lost around the middle of last year.

Staring at financial disaster and a very uncertain future I contacted Daniel and this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He gave me practical and conservative advice about what could be achieved, his fees were always reasonable and there were no BS motions, procedures or other actions that other lawyers undertake to simply run up fees. He and his staff are super-honest and really had my best interest at heart.

The final result–which is the most important thing–was better than I dreamed possible. I got rid of my permanent alimony for almost nothing in exchange and at a very low cost in fees.

I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a highly competent attorney who is honest and will fight for you.

Gary:

I had a very complicated case and Daniel represented my best interest in all aspects of my case. He was genuinely concerned about each decision I made and the outcome for each. I would highly recommend him for any of your family law needs. Daniel is a true professional

Ryan:

Daniel and his team did an amazing job with my divorce! Obviously this is never an easy thing to do but they made the whole process very simple and streamlined. He was always pushing the other attorney to move quickly so that we didn’t waste more time and money then needed. He helped me keep way more of my assets then I otherwise would have had he not gotten involved. Would highly recommend him for anything in the family law world!

Kathy:

For three years and other attempts at this case by other attorneys that just couldn’t get this case on the right track and Daniel and his colleagues took this case and were able to finally allow me for the first time since Alex was born to sleep. This case was extreme and kinda unbelievable from the start but he never told me I was wrong he just kept going forward with what I was telling him and he was able from his knowledge and a unbelievable way of dealing with this type of issues but believe me mine where out there.. Where my son was giving up hope that anyone would ever help him Daniel told him from day one he’s got it.. This man has gone over and beyond all.. We will be forever grateful to you.. Thank you Daniel Forrest and team

Patricia:

I had a difficult and complex divorce case, where Daniel represented me from the very beginning. He knew my case “inside and out”. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and honest. He was also “hands-on”, energetic and dedicated. After 10 years of my marital separation, my former spouse and I continue to have a good relationship, thanks in part to the settlement during Daniel’s representation.

I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

Karen:

Daniel Forrest is an amazing lawyer!

I was referred to Daniel Forrest by a very close friend of mine. she was extremely happy with his service. My friend assured me, that I will be in the best hand, and that is exactly how it was.

Daniel Forrest is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and sympathetic.

I recommend to anyone that wants a smart, caring, and honest lawyer who will be there for you by your side.

I am grateful and thankful I was represented by Daniel Forrest and his outstanding Attorney and Counselor Paulina Forrest.

They both made me feel safe and protected.

Daniel was always available for any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire process.

Daniel Forrest made sure to meet me before court date to go over everything, so I don’t feel in the dark during any step of the process.

In court, I was amazed, how Daniel was always a few steps ahead.

Daniel Forrest managed to get the greatest possible outcome I could ever imagine!

Highly Recommended! Daniel is the Best of the Best!

I highly recommend Daniel Forrest to anyone who needs an extremely competent, knowledgeable, professional, responsive, organized and attentive attorney. He is honest and knows when to be assertive if necessary. Do not make the same mistake I did from the beginning and hire the first attorney you meet with, unless it’s Daniel. All attorneys are not equal and Daniel has proven that to me. It was so nice to find an attorney who I felt actually cared and showed it. I hired Daniel after firing my first attorney who got me nowhere. Daniel was able to get my child back in my life and my divorce resolved within 3 months of hiring him and my divorce was considered a high conflict case. He never ceased to impress me with his knowledge and attention to details. Not once through the entire process did I have to wait more than a few hours to hear back from Daniel directly. While being represented by the first attorney I hired (not Daniel) I felt no different than being alone through the process, however, after hiring Daniel I felt like I had someone in my corner who had my best interests at hand. He is easy to talk with and very clear about explaining your options and then formulating a plan of action. He is truly great at what he does. He helped me get my child back, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Stephanie:

Professional. I needed a simple divorce done as quick as possible, and he did exactly that ! very friendly and he knows what he is doing !

Patti:

Divorces are almost never only about 2 people but rather about family. Daniel came to our family’s rescue after almost 3 years of an emotionally excruciating and financially disastrous divorce. He came in and within a few months.. or son got his life back. We are most grateful to Daniel.

Farrah:

Thank you Mr. Forrest, ESQ for your outstanding professionalism in supporting me with my case. From my initial meeting with Mr. Forrest, I had a high level of confidence in his approach of many different strategies to achieve success. My level of confidence in him grew as he was able to overcome every stumbling block that was presented. Mr. Daniel Forrest, ESQ has been working on my case for the past few months, and I am elated with the remarkable resolution. It was not an easy task. However, he worked with integrity, diligence and most of all with a passion to win. I consider him to be highly professional, an astute expert in his profession. I would also like to thank Mrs. Paulina Forrest, ESQ for her commitment and her invaluable experience which helped bring closure to my case.

SAN:

I went through a contentious and acrimonious divorce and Daniel Forrest was a guiding light in the storm. He was efficient, effective and highly skilled. He is a thoughtful and intelligent attorney and he is very responsive.

Jessica:

The BEST of the BEST!

Daniel Forrest is the best of the best! I am more than impressed with his knowledge in Family Law. After meeting with Mr.Forrest the first time, his knowledge and expertise in Family Law is what made me feel so comfortable hiring him. I had met with 4-5 other attorneys before meeting with Daniel Forrest and I could not be happier with the results of my case. He is extremely organized and detail oriented. I am so happy I found him and would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Jena:

I want you to know that I have been to many hearings over the years with my first husband. I have learned a lot from my previous marriage and a lot as a parent. I have been through many struggles. As a result, I have been through MANY lawyers (since 2002). Some I hired, some in passing, and some on opposing sides. I have learned that the best lawyer is one that you can communicate well with, that is thorough, listens, and most of all looks out for MY best interest. It is also important that he have great people working at his side. Today you proved to me that I have found that lawyer. I can also say that Meredeth has boosted my ego on more than one occasion, love her! She took what I thought were minor details that I couldn’t do anything about and made quick action just in case it was needed (request for mandatory disclosure). You both impress me and that may not seem like much to you, but it will to people I know. 🙂

This is the first time I have not been extremely stressed out about a case. You both are a great team and I want you to know, I really appreciate you. Thank you for everything you have done so far and I look forward to our ongoing relationship. So happy to have your team on my side!

Steven:

Was referred to Daniel from a friend who is an attorney in the area. Daniel fought hard for me and I am pleased with the outcome. I hope I never get divorced again and in order to protect myself the next time he will be doing my prenup!

Arturo:

I highly recommend Mr. Daniel Forrest as a Family lawyer. He has been a very professional and successful attorney handling my complicated divorce. He was able to explain in detail his plans in a calm and balanced manner and was always a phone call away.

His knowledge of Family law was very impressive and his strategic plans of action led us to negotiate and close the case successfully.

I have the deepest respect for his work and will keenly recommend Mr. Forrest unconditionally.

Albert:

Mr. Forrest is wise beyond his years. He has enormous compassion. He sees both sides of every legal question, and readily suggests the most practical and economic way forward. I was thoroughly satisfied with his legal advice, and plan to use him whenever similar questions arise.
