I cannot recommend Danny enough. When my claim was overturned and it appeared that I would have to come out of pocket and reimburse the state, I was hopeless of the outcome. After speaking with Danny, he assured me that we would fight this and come out on top. Boy was he right. Danny is very meticulous with his strategies. He researches the proper case law and really know employment law. His level of confidence and ability to communicate clearly are truly unmatched. If you want world class service with someone that can represent you exceptionally well, you need to work with Danny Lyon!

It is my privilege and honor to recommend Dan Lyon as your attorney. Dan is a very thorough and competent professional who always had my best interests in mind and will yours as well. I always felt like I was in very good hands. He never missed a scheduled meeting and he always took my calls. What I especially liked about Dan was his ability to remain calm when I was upset. He would calm me with his tone and calming manner. He is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best interest for his clients. I was informed mid May I was in violation of a policy and it was possible I would be terminated. I was referred to Dan, who I called immediately. He gave me excellent advice, was looking out for my best interest from the very start. He gave me his cell phone right away so I could contact him at any point. From the time I was first made aware of my job situation until I was terminated (10 days) he was available, even called to check on me to see how I was doing. His expertise with NC employment law is amazing, he knows what they are looking for and how employers can and will use your words against you. He will not need lead you down the wrong path. His prep work for your case will be well-researched presenting a compelling case on your behalf. I highly recommend Dan Lyon for wrongful termination and if necessary unemployment hearing. I also recommend you listen to him, do what he tells you to do and he will not lead you down the wrong path!

I contacted Danny at the last minute about my case when my attorney changed her mind. He stepped right up, jumped right into my case, calling with questions and ideas. I had a challenging case to begin with, but he entered it with confidence and had a strong desire to help.

Mr. Daniel Lyons worked relentlessly as my Attorney on my Employment Case, where he fought tirelessly for me for over a 10 month span, and during that time he consistently was dependable, knowledgeable, professional, amazing throughout the mediation process and most importantly he always kept me informed on the status of my case and coached me on what I needed to do to help him get me the best results. With a case so complicated, over so much time it is unbelievable how much information needs to be stored, processed, recorded, referenced, reframed and presented---Mr. Lyons has an impeccable photographic memory and was able to command the respect of EVERYONE in mediation, as he utilized all of the information collected over the ENTIRE case period to conclude MY BEST OUTCOME in this case!! He's just the BEST!

After meeting with many attorneys who would not take my case, Daniel Lyon did. He represented me and helped me obtain results that others told me I would not be able to receive.

I consulted with this attorney, and in four minutes he was able to really improve my understanding of a situation involving the legality of wage docking in NC. A few things I liked about Lyon's consult: * Clear, easy to understand, concise * Gave me realistic determination of his own experience in this area * Consult was free: Most lawyers provide free consults, but they are usually very general. Lyon provided more information in 4 minute consult than I could find with three hours of googling and asking other lawyers, and did that for free. To me, this sends the message that he really does care about employees in North Carolina, a state that isn't exactly known for its progressive labor laws, and isn't just out to generate revenue.

After being in a car accident, I contacted Daniel Lyon for legal advice. Not only was he attentive to my case but was concerned about my well being before anything. My case was settled relatively quickly and during the process Nataly and Dan stayed in contact with me to update me on the current status. I definitely would recommend Daniel Lyon for representation.

Danny was fantastic. No matter what day of the week or time of day, his responses were always quick and he was always available when I needed him. My case was for wrongful termination, as well as sexual harassment. He was very professional and provided the best experience from the paperwork, letters and documentation, hearings, and everything in between. I got the results I deserved and sought out for and I would highly recommend him.
