Hire him now. Dan Raynak is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Phoenix, and every day you don't have him in your corner is a day of lost productivity in your case.
My first indication of how good an attorney he is was when, nearly an hour after being told I was not eligible for a bond by another attorney, he had a bond in place for me and I was out of jail the following day. I recently put myself in a bind through a probation violation which, through most attorneys, would have likely resulted in jail time and harsher restrictions. Dan, having handled hundreds of probation cases for various offenses, took the time to meticulously review every detail of the case files and compare my account line-by-line. He highlighted the contradictions and faults, and aggressively pursued my defense during the court hearings as well as from his office through his filings. Prosecutors and probation officers are not accustomed to, and are hardly prepared for, the force of the defense strategies Dan's been practicing for 30+ years.
The end result was Dan had three of the four allegations against me dismissed. I was sentenced to no jail time or harsher restrictions, and exited the courtroom with better probation terms and a lower monthly fine. Here is my timeline:
1. Arrested
2. Told I was non-bondable and must stay in jail
3. Dan gets me a bond and I am out the next day
4. Dan writes and has a motion granted that improves my probation terms
5. A month of preparation and motions by Dan goes into the court
6. I am sentenced to no jail time, no additional restrictions, lower fines, and three of the four charges are dismissed
This is, in my view, the legal equivalent of miracle. Dan Raynak's experienced, aggressive, and knowledgeable defense of his cases is the closest you can get to supernatural intervention in Maricopa County. Everyone's case is different, though I know if I had not hired him, I would likely be in jail and life on probation would be far more difficult. The degree of assertive creativity and professionalism with which Dan and his assistant Angie handled my case was second to none, and I would advise you to hire him now. read more
