"Highly Recommend Dan Geherin!! If I could give 10 stars I would. From the first call to the law firm, to the license restoration hearing, it was such a great experience. Dan did a phenomenal job with getting my license restored after almost 17 years. He was very straight forward, professional, and made me feel comfortable going into the hearing. Dan and Marti made sure to go over all my documents thoroughly and were very prompt in communication. Going into the hearing, I felt confident after working with Dan leading up to it. I'm so grateful for all of their hard work and making this a smooth process for me. 10 out of 10, highly recommended!! Thank you again Dan & Marti!!"
