This firm is absolute garbage. Took $1000 retainer to take my case, months later says he cannot proceed and they would not refund my money back. Very unethical, and not professional. Do not use him, there are much better lawyers out there that will actually take your case seriously and not rob you.

Looks like the firm has a standard copy and paste response for negative reviews, and can't seem to find any of their former clients. You wrote me a letter on June 05th, 2017 if that will refresh your memory.

DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER! IF THIS DOESN'T PROVE HOW SHADY HE IS, NOTHING WILL.

I hired Dan to help me with a defense case and he handled it extremely well. His prices, professionalism, and communication were impeccable. I'm astounded, but not surprised, that someone would write a one-star review in regards to the Van Dyke case because of their political stance. Everyone deserves a fair trial and representation in our country! If you were not represented by Dan Herbert - don't write a bad review and try and ruin a man's professional reputation.

Dan Herbert is a liar, a coward, a guy who will tell you one price for his services, and then send you a generic invoice after payment, with amount paid and still owes. Once you pay off the agreed upon amount, him and his office will stop returning calls and emails. Then once your able to get in touch with them they'll act like they are no longer your attorney and pretend like they will need more money to continue to represent you. Dan won't though, he makes his employees do his dirty work. He'll just make a deal with you, take your money and then once your done paying that amount; he'll have everyone tell you how that wasn't the deal, and then ask you if you have it in writing. Like no I just have a Generic paid for in full invoice with no description of what the services included which should of been my first warning sign. But I think most believe believe that people are usually good and men of their word. Not DAN, worried about how much he can squeeze out of you and will tell you whatever you want to hear initially, but once you pay, he'll start telling you what he can't do before acting like if you don't pay more he'll no longer represent you. FIND A DIFFERENT ATTORNEY DAN'S DISHONEST AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF

"Drop a dime and Dan's in time!" Dan is a great attorney and it doesn't hurt that he looks sensational in a Sergio Georgini custom-fit suit with matching leather zip-up ankle boots. Dan helped me to make the enlightened decision not to show up on the witness stand while hopped-up on prescription medications. It sounded counter-intuitive to mine ears, but I listened to Dan and everything turned out great in the end and I was able to resume my career as a franchise-pizza-chain magician (Though even under oath, I'll never tell how I can make a cigarette go through a quarter!). Thanks, Dan!

GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!! DAN’s NOT A BAD TRIAL ATTORNEY BUT HE WONT BE PREPARED AND WILL LITERALLY BE GOING THRU YOUR FILE DURING HEARINGS AND WINGING IT, WHICH HONESTLY DESPITE DOING HE WILL STILL COME OFF AS A DECENT ATTORNEY DOING THAT AND WILL MAKE GREAT POINTS. HOWEVER HE’s NOT A MAN OF HIS WORD, AND QUITE FRANKLY IS A COWARD. IF YOU HAVE THE PLEASURE OF MEETING OR TALKING TO HIS PARTNER TAMMY, SHES BASICALLY A NO NOTHING ATTORNEY THAT DAN HIRED TO COLLECT PAYMENT FOR HIS SERVICES AND TO DEAL WITH CLIENTS WHO HE LIED TO. IF YOU DO HIRE HIM GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING BECAUSE IF NOT THEY WILL TRY TO SQUEEZE MORE MONEY OUT OF YOU AND REFUSE TO DO ALL THE WORK THEY PROMISED WAS INCLUDED IN THEIR ORIGINAL PRICE. HOWEVER I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU FIND AN ATTORNEY WITH SOME ETHICS AND WHO ISNT A COWARD!!

Absolutely the worst LawFirm in the City, Dan’s a Coward and will look another man in the face, quote you a price for his Services, once you agree to that Amount, he’ll do the bare minimum of work on your case, while having his No Nothing Attorney Tammy, who looks and acts like a BullDog to collect every penny of the Price he quoted you. Once they are paid in full, they’ll give you a Generic invoice saying paid in Full, and then act like they no longer represent you. When one day you’ll randomly ask about status of your appeal, which Dan looked you in the Face and said was included in the original price he quoted you, the day you hired him, and all of a sudden you won’t be able to get a hold of Coward Dan, he’ll have BullDog Tammy handle his cowardliness, and she’ll pretend like the appeal processes wasn’t included in the price you payed in full, and then act like your the one who heard Dan wrong, when he told you a price and said that includes it all, appeal process and everything till the very end. But the funny thing if that was true Dan would be the one telling you, you misunderstood him, but he’s a Coward and knows what he’s doing. Honestly he’s not a bad Trial Attorney, he’s just an unethical, all he cares about is money coward attorney. Who has to lie to people faces to make what he wants to make off your case. So if you do hire him, just get everything in writing, and make sure his invoice includes all the services he promised for that price, because his word isn’t worthless. He acts like a Catholic Church Going Family man, but then will lie to another mans face and then hide behind his BullDog Partner Tammy. GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING IF YOU DO HIRE DAN HERBERT!!

Nice good dude cpd

For unknown reasons to this day our first lawyer slowly faded from the picture that cost us a great deal of time and energy, so, retaining a new lawyer wasn't something we looked forward to. We didn't know who to turn to or what direction to even look. Dan and his team were referred to us. Thankfully, the referral was exactly what we needed. Dan is approachable and has a personable demeanor that we felt was so important when communicating and planning to what ultimately were life-changing decisions. His team was there when Dan couldn't be and they provided the professional services and communication that helped us stay informed. We feel lucky to have had Dan and we strongly recommend Dan and his team for those needing experience and reliable representation.

Great Attorney

Dan and his office manager, Terri, make you feel welcome the second you walk through the door. No one knows Chicago like Dan. If you have any civil or criminal legal needs, contact Dan first.
