I hired Michael for two cases in Anne Arundel County and won them both! Both cases went to trial. Most noticeably during the second case, Michael was very direct with his cross examination. He was great at presenting the facts in my case that ultimately won the case. I would definitely recommend hiring Mike for your case! A job well done!

I would like to say a million times "thank you" to Mr. Michael Danels for being my attorney and getting me through my divorce. I hired another attorney, and he could not get the job done. I also consulted with another attorney and was insulted; however, Mr. Danels was straight to the point and EXCEEDED my expectations. He is honest, straight to the point and truly cares about his client’s well-being. Thank you, thank you and thank you Mr. Danels. Of course, my thank you extends to your wonderful staff. As a single mother, I am divorced and have sole custody of my children.

I have hired Attorney Danels and his partner for several different legal issues. They are sharp, professional, caring, honest, and affordable. I highly recommend this law firm to support your legal issues and concerns. Plain and simple, I trust this law firm, and they will work hard for you while keeping cost low....

Worked with both Mike and Greg and they both have keen minds. My goal was to get out of the situation affordably and assert my rights. They kept me on track even when I wanted revenge. We avoided trial but felt I'd have good representation had we gone. You may not like the legal system but don't blame them--they will provide spot on advice even if you don't like the answers. If you are reasonable they will work hard for you. I get the sense they want to avoid unnecessary drama, difficult clients or revengeful ones--at a certain point, it's not worth the money. Be good to them, and they'll treat you right. Remember, they are there to show you the opposing side view, and to test you. So, be assertive on what you need and want. They will provide realistic feedback and what you need to know (not want to hear). If your goal is affordable (relatively speaking) yet very good quality representation use them, but don't expect to be coddled. They are efficient and no-frills, and some may misinterpret this but it's their way to save you money and grief in the long run! Go to the library and educate yourself on process so it doesn't seem so bewildering. Don't hesitate to them ask questions though. I give them 4.6 stars--not perfect but damn close (because I'm a tough grader).

I met Mike and explained the situation and provided all required documentation. Mike discussed the course of action and ensured that my court appearance was seamlessly completed...in my favor.

Michael Danels represented me in a TPO hearing. He was very organized and to the point. Michael helped clear my TPO and now I'm using him in my divorce and child custody case. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael represented me in court 4 times: twice in civil court and twice in criminal court in the same domestic violence case. To make things even more difficult I’m not a US citizen, which mean any even minor conviction will put me into immigration jail for months with subsequent deportation and loss of any immigration privileges to US forever. Michael won the first case for me, but then situation became worse as my wife have filed criminal charges regarding the same allegations of domestic violence and appealed the first civil case she lost. Michael helped to resolve civil case appeal in favorable way. Then before my criminal trial, my situation became even more complicated as because of criminal allegations my employer have terminated my contract and revoked my visa leaving me hours to leave US. So now on top of criminal charges of domestic violence I had my bond violation, and to make things even more difficult I could not even enter US to appear for my hearings, as I had no valid US visa or money to pay for the tickets. Yet Michael all by himself, managed to dismiss bond violation kept me out of bench warrant and finally got me cleared of all criminal charges without my appearance in court. I have my name cleared, and I kept my immigration privileges so I can return to my life in US some time later. Giving the circumstances it was an amazing outcome. Michael is also very professional and honest person he will never sugarcoat the situation always giving you the worst possible scenario along with his course of actions. It might be hard to deal with but it is better than keeping your hopes high and then get horribly disappointing outcome. Michael is also will never do any dirty tricks for you he doesn’t need it at all. Bottom-line If you are innocent he will get you cleared, if you are actually have commit something, he will get you the best possible outcome in the situation, just have trust in his skill and experience. It is a best lawyer you can get.

I contacted Mr. Daniels seeking assistance fighting a custody case in which cost us entirely too much money before Mr. Daniels. I contacted Mr. Danels, two months before the scheduled court date, he agreed to take my case, awesome communication, awesome job representing me. After so many years in court Mr. Danels not only made me very happy with the outcome but managed to have my case closed "satisfied" . The BEST attorney EVER!!!!!!

I hired Michael Danels 2 years ago to represent me in my divorce. He is very honest and told me the truth about my outcome which didn't happen the way it should have according to his experience as a divorce lawyer. I had a very unique case which stump him a lot which caused him to do a lot of research and seek advice from his colleagues. He was very responsive and kept me informed about my case. He gave good sound advice which I adhered to. His knowledge about the law and his willingness to get me the best outcome which he did was priceless. His professionalism and integrity was outstanding.

I retained Mr. Danels about 6 years ago to handle a divorce case. He was professional and knowledgable. He explained options in good detail. Most importantly, he resited getting drawn into the incessant back and forth with the adverse attorney. This approach kept billable hours reasonable and proved to be an effective strategy. Recently I retained him for an unrelated case. Although that case has not closed yet, his performance to date has been impeccable.

Michael Danels is a very good attorney. Over the years I have used him for divorce and separation, child custody, domestic violence, child support issues, foreclosure/short sale, and department of motor vehicle issues. Each time Mike came through when I needed him. If you need an attorney then I advise you not to play around call Mike - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES.

Mike handled my divorce. He took good care of me, even when I was argumenitive. He kept his cool, got me straightened out, and then got me divorced fairly. No small feat in this case. Emails, phone calls were always answered promptly no matter what time of day or night. Mike was always prepared and ready to proceed.
