It was so great to work with Daniel. He asked all the right questions, shortly came to the point about the issues involved, and made sure I was clear about exactly what was happening in my case with the State of California. I never had to follow up with him and he kept me informed at every step of the process. I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Daniel is very personable and reassuring during legal issues. He presented me with information as new developments occurred, and he helped me make the most informed decision with my case. His instincts are reliable, and if he is unsure about something, he told me, went and investigated a topic or issue, and then followed up with me about what he had learned. He is a busy man, so I could go a week or two without hearing from him, but that did not mean he wasn't pursuing information and strategies for my case. If I had an issue or was worried about the delay in contact, he would respond back to me the same day with either an email or call. High Recommend for Mr. Pocklington.

I am so grateful for Dan Pocklingtons help in my child custody case. I've hired lawyers before over the years, as the mother of my child has a high conflict personality. Dan stood out as a better listener, more compassionate and empathic towards my case and he charged me less than the other lawyers I initially reached out to for help. I truly felt heard and understood as the one hour consultation turned into an hour and a half at no extra charge. During the consultation he communicated his knowledge of the law that pertained to my case and he helped me formulate a creative path forward. I left the office feeling that I was taken care of. Afterwards, I prepared the information he requested and submitted it to his office. That day he reorganized and prepared the information I provided in a court-specific and court-friendly format and filed it with the court and the mother of my child. Again, making me feel like I was taken care of. The documents he prepared gave the mediator and judge a comprehensive view in an organized and yet simple way of what my child and I are up against with mom - and it didn’t cost me as much as the attorneys I’ve worked with in the past. I highly recommend Dan Pocklington.

Daniel, took my case when I was so frustrated and about to give up. But once he took my case on I felt hope. He was very thorough from the beginning, gave honest feedback and responded in a timely manner. Most attorneys don't that was a sign for me that I was working with the right person. He asked the right questions and counseled me mostly on what were most realistic requests vs what nots and he executed me amazingly. He was very patient, kind, empathetic and a great listener. He means what he says and his honesty was outstanding. I would recommend him a 1000times or even more to any family or friends that are struggling with family court law.. Thank you so much for helping me with my case and listening to my concerns when no one did. I am very grateful and hope you nothing but more blessings from above. You made me feel alive again and giving me much hope that they are still great attorney out there. That their services are not entirely based on money but to actually help someone out their frustration..

I found Daniel Pocklington to be a reliable source of confidence and perspective as my personal injury lawyer. After being hit by a car while I was walking down the sidewalk I was both injured and shaken. I found him to be both patient and diligent in his representation of me. In an accident in which I was injured I was able to turn to Daniel for help to me get through this rough time. I highly recommend Pocklington Law.

I hired Dan to represent me in a divorce case. Obviously divorce is a difficult life situation; it is mentally and emotionally draining. It was tough even reaching out for help and representation. Dan was both empathetic and respectful, and wasted no time answering many of my questions in the consultation and providing valuable information. He was transparent about how to reduce legal costs, realistic about outcomes, and flexible in his assistance. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgable attorney in Contra Costa County.

Daniel has a broad range of expertise, listens well and quickly assess the situation. He is thorough in his analysis and it is evident he incorporates your wishes in his game plan. He does a very good job outlining the pros and cons of your case, along with potential risk, even when you don't want to hear it. He is also very open about areas he needs to research prior to giving advise, a much appreciated quality when working with attorneys. I have been fortunate to work with Daniel over the years. It is evident that he does not wish to live on his past accomplishments. He continues to educate himself to expand the depth and scope of his legal knowledge. V/R, scott

In your life, you would not know how painful it is to deal with irrational people until you get into it. My life was up and down struggling dealing with mentally ex. Due to my health issues and my financial difficulty, I need to back out to live a normal life again. I don't care if I am poor or not. I need my healthy life back. I hired previous lawyer before Dan, he left me hanging up tight. I found Dan on Avvo. I read all of his reviews before making my decision. Dan is a great lawyer. He keep me update with all the things my ex lawyer throwing at us. My ex is all about money. I wish she would be happy with money than living with me. I worked every night and even my day off for two years to fix my house got big values, and even borrowing from my parent for the down payment of the house. Without my parents, we are homeless. I got all headache from my ex from little things in the house like CDs, blu ray ..... since she want more and more money ......etc. It was a waste of time to deal with others side since I am making little income while my ex making more money than me to have her lawyer harassing me. Dan is ethical lawyer, he would not waste any of your time to use any non-sense methods to throw back even though I have a lot of evidence to show my ex stealing stuff from the house. We don't want to be like any of them. He would work with you to get you out safely. I think it is really good for me, because life is not always about money, it is about peace of mind. healthy and rest. Dan knows what to do and how to protect your rights. I am really highly recommend anyone who have painful marriage to step forward to hire Dan without any doubt. very pleased with his staff and his office services. I would always keep in touch with his office to recommend to all my friends or relative if they have problem, Trust me, bipolar people is not easy for Dan to deal with. but he saved my life which I thought I would not have it anymore. God bless, and my ex would realize it someday, she would be happy to end this in more peaceful way than wasting the money that people worked hard for it.

I hired Daniel Pocklington over a year ago to help me litigate my divorce and child custody case. While the case was not originally overly complicated the other party has done their best to drag out the legal proceedings. The whole process has taken much longer than neither Dan nor I originally thought. Dan has been there to help me deal with each new legal obstacle we have been thrown. He is responsive to my calls and emails. It has never taken more then 24 hours to hear back from him, especially since some legal matters are time sensitive this has been a really valuable trait on his part. In preparation for long case hearings he has always done his best to use legal aids (who are great and professional as well) to help compile evidence while keeping the cost down, when possible. They always arrive with a box or more of evidence ready to present to the court to help my case. He is always organized and ready to go during court appearances, he gives me ample time to prepare what he needs from me and always reminds me of deadlines so we get all the paperwork in on time to the court. He has been flexible and understanding when it comes to payment and is always willing to work with me to figure out how to set up payment plans. As unpleasant as this legal experience has been I am really glad I chose Dan to represent me, he has done his best to keep the ball rolling and express my views and opinions accurately and efficiently to the court.

Dan has turned my family law case on its ear. My ex is a sociopath represented by the one of the most incompetent attorneys. Dan is very responsive and knowledgeable and represents his client with integrity and common sense. The judge listens to Dan and agree with his exparte filings . Dan picks the battles and wins slowly but surely the other side will crumble.

I hired previous lawyer before Dan, he left me hanging up tight. I found Dan on Avvo. I read all of his reviews before making my decision. Dan is a great lawyer. He keep me update with all the things my ex lawyer throwing at us. My ex is all about money. I wish she would be happy with money than living with me. I worked every night and even my day off for two years to fix my house got big values, and even borrowing from my parent for the down payment of the house. Without my parents, we are homeless. I got all headache from my ex from little things in the house like CDs, blu ray ..... since she want more and more money ......etc. It was a waste of time to deal with others side since I am making little income while my ex making more money than me to have her lawyer harassing me. Dan is ethical lawyer, he would not waste any of your time to use any non-sense methods to throw back even though I have a lot of evidence to show my ex stealing stuff from the house. We don't want to be like any of them. He would work with you to get you out safely. I think it is really good for me, because life is not always about money, it is about peace of mind. healthy and rest. Dan knows what to do and how to protect your rights. I am really highly recommend anyone who have painful marriage to step forward to hire Dan without any doubt. very pleased with his staff and his office services. I would always keep in touch with his office to recommend to all my friends or relative if they have problem, Trust me, bipolar people is not easy for Dan to deal with. but he saved my life which I thought I would not have it anymore. God bless, and my ex would realize it someday, she would be happy to end this in more peaceful way than wasting the money that people worked hard for it.

I hired Daniel Pocklington over a year ago to help me litigate my divorce and child custody case. While the case was not originally overly complicated the other party has done their best to drag out the legal proceedings. The whole process has taken much longer than neither Dan nor I originally thought. Dan has been there to help me deal with each new legal obstacle we have been thrown. He is responsive to my calls and emails. It has never taken more then 24 hours to hear back from him, especially since some legal matters are time sensitive this has been a really valuable trait on his part. In preparation for long case hearings he has always done his best to use legal aids (who are great and professional as well) to help compile evidence while keeping the cost down, when possible. They always arrive with a box or more of evidence ready to present to the court to help my case. He is always organized and ready to go during court appearances, he gives me ample time to prepare what he needs from me and always reminds me of deadlines so we get all the paperwork in on time to the court. He has been flexible and understanding when it comes to payment and is always willing to work with me to figure out how to set up payment plans. As unpleasant as this legal experience has been I am really glad I chose Dan to represent me, he has done his best to keep the ball rolling and express my views and opinions accurately and efficiently to the court.

Dan has turned my family law case on its ear. My ex is a sociopath represented by the one of the most incompetent attorneys. Dan is very responsive and knowledgeable and represents his client with integrity and common sense. The judge listens to Dan and agree with his exparte filings . Dan picks the battles and wins slowly but surely the other side will crumble.

It was so great to work with Daniel. He asked all the right questions, shortly came to the point about the issues involved, and made sure I was clear about exactly what was happening in my case with the State of California. I never had to follow up with him and he kept me informed at every step of the process. I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Daniel is very personable and reassuring during legal issues. He presented me with information as new developments occurred, and he helped me make the most informed decision with my case. His instincts are reliable, and if he is unsure about something, he told me, went and investigated a topic or issue, and then followed up with me about what he had learned. He is a busy man, so I could go a week or two without hearing from him, but that did not mean he wasn't pursuing information and strategies for my case. If I had an issue or was worried about the delay in contact, he would respond back to me the same day with either an email or call. High Recommend for Mr. Pocklington.

I am so grateful for Dan Pocklingtons help in my child custody case. I've hired lawyers before over the years, as the mother of my child has a high conflict personality. Dan stood out as a better listener, more compassionate and empathic towards my case and he charged me less than the other lawyers I initially reached out to for help. I truly felt heard and understood as the one hour consultation turned into an hour and a half at no extra charge. During the consultation he communicated his knowledge of the law that pertained to my case and he helped me formulate a creative path forward. I left the office feeling that I was taken care of. Afterwards, I prepared the information he requested and submitted it to his office. That day he reorganized and prepared the information I provided in a court-specific and court-friendly format and filed it with the court and the mother of my child. Again, making me feel like I was taken care of. The documents he prepared gave the mediator and judge a comprehensive view in an organized and yet simple way of what my child and I are up against with mom - and it didn’t cost me as much as the attorneys I’ve worked with in the past. I highly recommend Dan Pocklington.

Daniel, took my case when I was so frustrated and about to give up. But once he took my case on I felt hope. He was very thorough from the beginning, gave honest feedback and responded in a timely manner. Most attorneys don't that was a sign for me that I was working with the right person. He asked the right questions and counseled me mostly on what were most realistic requests vs what nots and he executed me amazingly. He was very patient, kind, empathetic and a great listener. He means what he says and his honesty was outstanding. I would recommend him a 1000times or even more to any family or friends that are struggling with family court law.. Thank you so much for helping me with my case and listening to my concerns when no one did. I am very grateful and hope you nothing but more blessings from above. You made me feel alive again and giving me much hope that they are still great attorney out there. That their services are not entirely based on money but to actually help someone out their frustration..

I found Daniel Pocklington to be a reliable source of confidence and perspective as my personal injury lawyer. After being hit by a car while I was walking down the sidewalk I was both injured and shaken. I found him to be both patient and diligent in his representation of me. In an accident in which I was injured I was able to turn to Daniel for help to me get through this rough time. I highly recommend Pocklington Law.

I hired Dan to represent me in a divorce case. Obviously divorce is a difficult life situation; it is mentally and emotionally draining. It was tough even reaching out for help and representation. Dan was both empathetic and respectful, and wasted no time answering many of my questions in the consultation and providing valuable information. He was transparent about how to reduce legal costs, realistic about outcomes, and flexible in his assistance. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgable attorney in Contra Costa County.

Daniel has a broad range of expertise, listens well and quickly assess the situation. He is thorough in his analysis and it is evident he incorporates your wishes in his game plan. He does a very good job outlining the pros and cons of your case, along with potential risk, even when you don't want to hear it. He is also very open about areas he needs to research prior to giving advise, a much appreciated quality when working with attorneys. I have been fortunate to work with Daniel over the years. It is evident that he does not wish to live on his past accomplishments. He continues to educate himself to expand the depth and scope of his legal knowledge. V/R, scott

I hired Dan to represent me in a divorce case. Obviously divorce is a difficult life situation; it is mentally and emotionally draining. It was tough even reaching out for help and representation. Dan was both empathetic and respectful, and wasted no time answering many of my questions in the consultation and providing valuable information. He was transparent about how to reduce legal costs, realistic about outcomes, and flexible in his assistance. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgable attorney in Contra Costa County.

Daniel has a broad range of expertise, listens well and quickly assess the situation. He is thorough in his analysis and it is evident he incorporates your wishes in his game plan. He does a very good job outlining the pros and cons of your case, along with potential risk, even when you don't want to hear it. He is also very open about areas he needs to research prior to giving advise, a much appreciated quality when working with attorneys. I have been fortunate to work with Daniel over the years. It is evident that he does not wish to live on his past accomplishments. He continues to educate himself to expand the depth and scope of his legal knowledge. V/R, scott

In your life, you would not know how painful it is to deal with irrational people until you get into it. My life was up and down struggling dealing with mentally ex. Due to my health issues and my financial difficulty, I need to back out to live a normal life again. I don't care if I am poor or not. I need my healthy life back. I hired previous lawyer before Dan, he left me hanging up tight. I found Dan on Avvo. I read all of his reviews before making my decision. Dan is a great lawyer. He keep me update with all the things my ex lawyer throwing at us. My ex is all about money. I wish she would be happy with money than living with me. I worked every night and even my day off for two years to fix my house got big values, and even borrowing from my parent for the down payment of the house. Without my parents, we are homeless. I got all headache from my ex from little things in the house like CDs, blu ray ..... since she want more and more money ......etc. It was a waste of time to deal with others side since I am making little income while my ex making more money than me to have her lawyer harassing me. Dan is ethical lawyer, he would not waste any of your time to use any non-sense methods to throw back even though I have a lot of evidence to show my ex stealing stuff from the house. We don't want to be like any of them. He would work with you to get you out safely. I think it is really good for me, because life is not always about money, it is about peace of mind. healthy and rest. Dan knows what to do and how to protect your rights. I am really highly recommend anyone who have painful marriage to step forward to hire Dan without any doubt. very pleased with his staff and his office services. I would always keep in touch with his office to recommend to all my friends or relative if they have problem, Trust me, bipolar people is not easy for Dan to deal with. but he saved my life which I thought I would not have it anymore. God bless, and my ex would realize it someday, she would be happy to end this in more peaceful way than wasting the money that people worked hard for it.

I hired Daniel Pocklington over a year ago to help me litigate my divorce and child custody case. While the case was not originally overly complicated the other party has done their best to drag out the legal proceedings. The whole process has taken much longer than neither Dan nor I originally thought. Dan has been there to help me deal with each new legal obstacle we have been thrown. He is responsive to my calls and emails. It has never taken more then 24 hours to hear back from him, especially since some legal matters are time sensitive this has been a really valuable trait on his part. In preparation for long case hearings he has always done his best to use legal aids (who are great and professional as well) to help compile evidence while keeping the cost down, when possible. They always arrive with a box or more of evidence ready to present to the court to help my case. He is always organized and ready to go during court appearances, he gives me ample time to prepare what he needs from me and always reminds me of deadlines so we get all the paperwork in on time to the court. He has been flexible and understanding when it comes to payment and is always willing to work with me to figure out how to set up payment plans. As unpleasant as this legal experience has been I am really glad I chose Dan to represent me, he has done his best to keep the ball rolling and express my views and opinions accurately and efficiently to the court.

Dan has turned my family law case on its ear. My ex is a sociopath represented by the one of the most incompetent attorneys. Dan is very responsive and knowledgeable and represents his client with integrity and common sense. The judge listens to Dan and agree with his exparte filings . Dan picks the battles and wins slowly but surely the other side will crumble.

He asked all the right questions, shortly came to the point about the issues involved, and made sure I was clear about exactly what was happening in my case with the State of California. I never had to follow up with him and he kept me informed at every step of the process. I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Daniel is very personable and reassuring during legal issues. He presented me with information as new developments occurred, and he helped me make the most informed decision with my case. His instincts are reliable, and if he is unsure about something, he told me, went and investigated a topic or issue, and then followed up with me about what he had learned. He is a busy man, so I could go a week or two without hearing from him, but that did not mean he wasn't pursuing information and strategies for my case. If I had an issue or was worried about the delay in contact, he would respond back to me the same day with either an email or call. High Recommend for Mr. Pocklington.

I am so grateful for Dan Pocklingtons help in my child custody case. I've hired lawyers before over the years, as the mother of my child has a high conflict personality. Dan stood out as a better listener, more compassionate and empathic towards my case and he charged me less than the other lawyers I initially reached out to for help. I truly felt heard and understood as the one hour consultation turned into an hour and a half at no extra charge. During the consultation he communicated his knowledge of the law that pertained to my case and he helped me formulate a creative path forward. I left the office feeling that I was taken care of. Afterwards, I prepared the information he requested and submitted it to his office. That day he reorganized and prepared the information I provided in a court-specific and court-friendly format and filed it with the court and the mother of my child. Again, making me feel like I was taken care of. The documents he prepared gave the mediator and judge a comprehensive view in an organized and yet simple way of what my child and I are up against with mom - and it didn’t cost me as much as the attorneys I’ve worked with in the past. I highly recommend Dan Pocklington.

Daniel, took my case when I was so frustrated and about to give up. But once he took my case on I felt hope. He was very thorough from the beginning, gave honest feedback and responded in a timely manner. Most attorneys don't that was a sign for me that I was working with the right person. He asked the right questions and counseled me mostly on what were most realistic requests vs what nots and he executed me amazingly. He was very patient, kind, empathetic and a great listener. He means what he says and his honesty was outstanding. I would recommend him a 1000times or even more to any family or friends that are struggling with family court law.. Thank you so much for helping me with my case and listening to my concerns when no one did. I am very grateful and hope you nothing but more blessings from above. You made me feel alive again and giving me much hope that they are still great attorney out there. That their services are not entirely based on money but to actually help someone out their frustration..

The documents he prepared gave the mediator and judge a comprehensive view in an organized and yet simple way of what my child and I are up against with mom - and it didn’t cost me as much as the attorneys I’ve worked with in the past. I highly recommend Dan Pocklington.

Daniel, took my case when I was so frustrated and about to give up. But once he took my case on I felt hope. He was very thorough from the beginning, gave honest feedback and responded in a timely manner. Most attorneys don't that was a sign for me that I was working with the right person. He asked the right questions and counseled me mostly on what were most realistic requests vs what nots and he executed me amazingly. He was very patient, kind, empathetic and a great listener. He means what he says and his honesty was outstanding. I would recommend him a 1000times or even more to any family or friends that are struggling with family court law.. Thank you so much for helping me with my case and listening to my concerns when no one did. I am very grateful and hope you nothing but more blessings from above. You made me feel alive again and giving me much hope that they are still great attorney out there. That their services are not entirely based on money but to actually help someone out their frustration..

I found Daniel Pocklington to be a reliable source of confidence and perspective as my personal injury lawyer. After being hit by a car while I was walking down the sidewalk I was both injured and shaken. I found him to be both patient and diligent in his representation of me. In an accident in which I was injured I was able to turn to Daniel for help to me get through this rough time. I highly recommend Pocklington Law.

I hired Dan to represent me in a divorce case. Obviously divorce is a difficult life situation; it is mentally and emotionally draining. It was tough even reaching out for help and representation. Dan was both empathetic and respectful, and wasted no time answering many of my questions in the consultation and providing valuable information. He was transparent about how to reduce legal costs, realistic about outcomes, and flexible in his assistance. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgable attorney in Contra Costa County.

Daniel has a broad range of expertise, listens well and quickly assess the situation. He is thorough in his analysis and it is evident he incorporates your wishes in his game plan. He does a very good job outlining the pros and cons of your case, along with potential risk, even when you don't want to hear it. He is also very open about areas he needs to research prior to giving advise, a much appreciated quality when working with attorneys. I have been fortunate to work with Daniel over the years. It is evident that he does not wish to live on his past accomplishments. He continues to educate himself to expand the depth and scope of his legal knowledge. V/R, scott

In your life, you would not know how painful it is to deal with irrational people until you get into it. My life was up and down struggling dealing with mentally ex. Due to my health issues and my financial difficulty, I need to back out to live a normal life again. I don't care if I am poor or not. I need my healthy life back. I hired previous lawyer before Dan, he left me hanging up tight. I found Dan on Avvo. I read all of his reviews before making my decision. Dan is a great lawyer. He keep me update with all the things my ex lawyer throwing at us. My ex is all about money. I wish she would be happy with money than living with me. I worked every night and even my day off for two years to fix my house got big values, and even borrowing from my parent for the down payment of the house. Without my parents, we are homeless. I got all headache from my ex from little things in the house like CDs, blu ray ..... since she want more and more money ......etc. It was a waste of time to deal with others side since I am making little income while my ex making more money than me to have her lawyer harassing me. Dan is ethical lawyer, he would not waste any of your time to use any non-sense methods to throw back even though I have a lot of evidence to show my ex stealing stuff from the house. We don't want to be like any of them. He would work with you to get you out safely. I think it is really good for me, because life is not always about money, it is about peace of mind. healthy and rest. Dan knows what to do and how to protect your rights. I am really highly recommend anyone who have painful marriage to step forward to hire Dan without any doubt. very pleased with his staff and his office services. I would always keep in touch with his office to recommend to all my friends or relative if they have problem, Trust me, bipolar people is not easy for Dan to deal with. but he saved my life which I thought I would not have it anymore. God bless, and my ex would realize it someday, she would be happy to end this in more peaceful way than wasting the money that people worked hard for it.

I hired Daniel Pocklington over a year ago to help me litigate my divorce and child custody case. While the case was not originally overly complicated the other party has done their best to drag out the legal proceedings. The whole process has taken much longer than neither Dan nor I originally thought. Dan has been there to help me deal with each new legal obstacle we have been thrown. He is responsive to my calls and emails. It has never taken more then 24 hours to hear back from him, especially since some legal matters are time sensitive this has been a really valuable trait on his part. In preparation for long case hearings he has always done his best to use legal aids (who are great and professional as well) to help compile evidence while keeping the cost down, when possible. They always arrive with a box or more of evidence ready to present to the court to help my case. He is always organized and ready to go during court appearances, he gives me ample time to prepare what he needs from me and always reminds me of deadlines so we get all the paperwork in on time to the court. He has been flexible and understanding when it comes to payment and is always willing to work with me to figure out how to set up payment plans. As unpleasant as this legal experience has been I am really glad I chose Dan to represent me, he has done his best to keep the ball rolling and express my views and opinions accurately and efficiently to the court.

Dan has turned my family law case on its ear. My ex is a sociopath represented by the one of the most incompetent attorneys. Dan is very responsive and knowledgeable and represents his client with integrity and common sense. The judge listens to Dan and agree with his exparte filings . Dan picks the battles and wins slowly but surely the other side will crumble.

He asked all the right questions, shortly came to the point about the issues involved, and made sure I was clear about exactly what was happening in my case with the State of California. I never had to follow up with him and he kept me informed at every step of the process. I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Daniel is very personable and reassuring during legal issues. He presented me with information as new developments occurred, and he helped me make the most informed decision with my case. His instincts are reliable, and if he is unsure about something, he told me, went and investigated a topic or issue, and then followed up with me about what he had learned. He is a busy man, so I could go a week or two without hearing from him, but that did not mean he wasn't pursuing information and strategies for my case. If I had an issue or was worried about the delay in contact, he would respond back to me the same day with either an email or call. High Recommend for Mr. Pocklington.

I am so grateful for Dan Pocklingtons help in my child custody case. I've hired lawyers before over the years, as the mother of my child has a high conflict personality. Dan stood out as a better listener, more compassionate and empathic towards my case and he charged me less than the other lawyers I initially reached out to for help. I truly felt heard and understood as the one hour consultation turned into an hour and a half at no extra charge. During the consultation he communicated his knowledge of the law that pertained to my case and he helped me formulate a creative path forward. I left the office feeling that I was taken care of. Afterwards, I prepared the information he requested and submitted it to his office. That day he reorganized and prepared the information I provided in a court-specific and court-friendly format and filed it with the court and the mother of my child. Again, making me feel like I was taken care of.

Daniel is very personable and reassuring during legal issues. He presented me with information as new developments occurred, and he helped me make the most informed decision with my case. His instincts are reliable, and if he is unsure about something, he told me, went and investigated a topic or issue, and then followed up with me about what he had learned. He is a busy man, so I could go a week or two without hearing from him, but that did not mean he wasn't pursuing information and strategies for my case. If I had an issue or was worried about the delay in contact, he would respond back to me the same day with either an email or call. High Recommend for Mr. Pocklington.

I am so grateful for Dan Pocklingtons help in my child custody case. I've hired lawyers before over the years, as the mother of my child has a high conflict personality. Dan stood out as a better listener, more compassionate and empathic towards my case and he charged me less than the other lawyers I initially reached out to for help. I truly felt heard and understood as the one hour consultation turned into an hour and a half at no extra charge. During the consultation he communicated his knowledge of the law that pertained to my case and he helped me formulate a creative path forward. I left the office feeling that I was taken care of. Afterwards, I prepared the information he requested and submitted it to his office. That day he reorganized and prepared the information I provided in a court-specific and court-friendly format and filed it with the court and the mother of my child. Again, making me feel like I was taken care of. The documents he prepared gave the mediator and judge a comprehensive view in an organized and yet simple way of what my child and I are up against with mom - and it didn’t cost me as much as the attorneys I’ve worked with in the past. I highly recommend Dan Pocklington.

Daniel, took my case when I was so frustrated and about to give up. But once he took my case on I felt hope. He was very thorough from the beginning, gave honest feedback and responded in a timely manner. Most attorneys don't that was a sign for me that I was working with the right person. He asked the right questions and counseled me mostly on what were most realistic requests vs what nots and he executed me amazingly. He was very patient, kind, empathetic and a great listener. He means what he says and his honesty was outstanding. I would recommend him a 1000times or even more to any family or friends that are struggling with family court law.. Thank you so much for helping me with my case and listening to my concerns when no one did. I am very grateful and hope you nothing but more blessings from above. You made me feel alive again and giving me much hope that they are still great attorney out there. That their services are not entirely based on money but to actually help someone out their frustration..

I found Daniel Pocklington to be a reliable source of confidence and perspective as my personal injury lawyer. After being hit by a car while I was walking down the sidewalk I was both injured and shaken. I found him to be both patient and diligent in his representation of me. In an accident in which I was injured I was able to turn to Daniel for help to me get through this rough time. I highly recommend Pocklington Law.

I hired Dan to represent me in a divorce case. Obviously divorce is a difficult life situation; it is mentally and emotionally draining. It was tough even reaching out for help and representation. Dan was both empathetic and respectful, and wasted no time answering many of my questions in the consultation and providing valuable information. He was transparent about how to reduce legal costs, realistic about outcomes, and flexible in his assistance. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgable attorney in Contra Costa County.

Daniel has a broad range of expertise, listens well and quickly assess the situation. He is thorough in his analysis and it is evident he incorporates your wishes in his game plan. He does a very good job outlining the pros and cons of your case, along with potential risk, even when you don't want to hear it. He is also very open about areas he needs to research prior to giving advise, a much appreciated quality when working with attorneys. I have been fortunate to work with Daniel over the years. It is evident that he does not wish to live on his past accomplishments. He continues to educate himself to expand the depth and scope of his legal knowledge. V/R, scott

In your life, you would not know how painful it is to deal with irrational people until you get into it. My life was up and down struggling dealing with mentally ex. Due to my health issues and my financial difficulty, I need to back out to live a normal life again. I don't care if I am poor or not. I need my healthy life back. I hired previous lawyer before Dan, he left me hanging up tight. I found Dan on Avvo. I read all of his reviews before making my decision. Dan is a great lawyer. He keep me update with all the things my ex lawyer throwing at us. My ex is all about money. I wish she would be happy with money than living with me. I worked every night and even my day off for two years to fix my house got big values, and even borrowing from my parent for the down payment of the house. Without my parents, we are homeless. I got all headache from my ex from little things in the house like CDs, blu ray ..... since she want more and more money ......etc. It was a waste of time to deal with others side since I am making little income while my ex making more money than me to have her lawyer harassing me. Dan is ethical lawyer, he would not waste any of your time to use any non-sense methods to throw back even though I have a lot of evidence to show my ex stealing stuff from the house. We don't want to be like any of them. He would work with you to get you out safely. I think it is really good for me, because life is not always about money, it is about peace of mind. healthy and rest. Dan knows what to do and how to protect your rights. I am really highly recommend anyone who have painful marriage to step forward to hire Dan without any doubt. very pleased with his staff and his office services. I would always keep in touch with his office to recommend to all my friends or relative if they have problem, Trust me, bipolar people is not easy for Dan to deal with. but he saved my life which I thought I would not have it anymore. God bless, and my ex would realize it someday, she would be happy to end this in more peaceful way than wasting the money that people worked hard for it.

I hired Daniel Pocklington over a year ago to help me litigate my divorce and child custody case. While the case was not originally overly complicated the other party has done their best to drag out the legal proceedings. The whole process has taken much longer than neither Dan nor I originally thought. Dan has been there to help me deal with each new legal obstacle we have been thrown. He is responsive to my calls and emails. It has never taken more then 24 hours to hear back from him, especially since some legal matters are time sensitive this has been a really valuable trait on his part. In preparation for long case hearings he has always done his best to use legal aids (who are great and professional as well) to help compile evidence while keeping the cost down, when possible. They always arrive with a box or more of evidence ready to present to the court to help my case. He is always organized and ready to go during court appearances, he gives me ample time to prepare what he needs from me and always reminds me of deadlines so we get all the paperwork in on time to the court. He has been flexible and understanding when it comes to payment and is always willing to work with me to figure out how to set up payment plans. As unpleasant as this legal experience has been I am really glad I chose Dan to represent me, he has done his best to keep the ball rolling and express my views and opinions accurately and efficiently to the court.

Dan has turned my family law case on its ear. My ex is a sociopath represented by the one of the most incompetent attorneys. Dan is very responsive and knowledgeable and represents his client with integrity and common sense. The judge listens to Dan and agree with his exparte filings . Dan picks the battles and wins slowly but surely the other side will crumble.

They always arrive with a box or more of evidence ready to present to the court to help my case. He is always organized and ready to go during court appearances, he gives me ample time to prepare what he needs from me and always reminds me of deadlines so we get all the paperwork in on time to the court. He has been flexible and understanding when it comes to payment and is always willing to work with me to figure out how to set up payment plans. As unpleasant as this legal experience has been I am really glad I chose Dan to represent me, he has done his best to keep the ball rolling and express my views and opinions accurately and efficiently to the court.

Dan has turned my family law case on its ear. My ex is a sociopath represented by the one of the most incompetent attorneys. Dan is very responsive and knowledgeable and represents his client with integrity and common sense. The judge listens to Dan and agree with his exparte filings . Dan picks the battles and wins slowly but surely the other side will crumble.

It was so great to work with Daniel. He asked all the right questions, shortly came to the point about the issues involved, and made sure I was clear about exactly what was happening in my case with the State of California. I never had to follow up with him and he kept me informed at every step of the process. I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Daniel is very personable and reassuring during legal issues. He presented me with information as new developments occurred, and he helped me make the most informed decision with my case. His instincts are reliable, and if he is unsure about something, he told me, went and investigated a topic or issue, and then followed up with me about what he had learned. He is a busy man, so I could go a week or two without hearing from him, but that did not mean he wasn't pursuing information and strategies for my case. If I had an issue or was worried about the delay in contact, he would respond back to me the same day with either an email or call. High Recommend for Mr. Pocklington.

I am so grateful for Dan Pocklingtons help in my child custody case. I've hired lawyers before over the years, as the mother of my child has a high conflict personality. Dan stood out as a better listener, more compassionate and empathic towards my case and he charged me less than the other lawyers I initially reached out to for help. I truly felt heard and understood as the one hour consultation turned into an hour and a half at no extra charge. During the consultation he communicated his knowledge of the law that pertained to my case and he helped me formulate a creative path forward. I left the office feeling that I was taken care of. Afterwards, I prepared the information he requested and submitted it to his office. That day he reorganized and prepared the information I provided in a court-specific and court-friendly format and filed it with the court and the mother of my child. Again, making me feel like I was taken care of. The documents he prepared gave the mediator and judge a comprehensive view in an organized and yet simple way of what my child and I are up against with mom - and it didn’t cost me as much as the attorneys I’ve worked with in the past. I highly recommend Dan Pocklington.

Daniel, took my case when I was so frustrated and about to give up. But once he took my case on I felt hope. He was very thorough from the beginning, gave honest feedback and responded in a timely manner. Most attorneys don't that was a sign for me that I was working with the right person. He asked the right questions and counseled me mostly on what were most realistic requests vs what nots and he executed me amazingly. He was very patient, kind, empathetic and a great listener. He means what he says and his honesty was outstanding. I would recommend him a 1000times or even more to any family or friends that are struggling with family court law.. Thank you so much for helping me with my case and listening to my concerns when no one did. I am very grateful and hope you nothing but more blessings from above. You made me feel alive again and giving me much hope that they are still great attorney out there. That their services are not entirely based on money but to actually help someone out their frustration..

I found Daniel Pocklington to be a reliable source of confidence and perspective as my personal injury lawyer. After being hit by a car while I was walking down the sidewalk I was both injured and shaken. I found him to be both patient and diligent in his representation of me. In an accident in which I was injured I was able to turn to Daniel for help to me get through this rough time. I highly recommend Pocklington Law.

I hired Dan to represent me in a divorce case. Obviously divorce is a difficult life situation; it is mentally and emotionally draining. It was tough even reaching out for help and representation. Dan was both empathetic and respectful, and wasted no time answering many of my questions in the consultation and providing valuable information. He was transparent about how to reduce legal costs, realistic about outcomes, and flexible in his assistance. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgable attorney in Contra Costa County.

Daniel has a broad range of expertise, listens well and quickly assess the situation. He is thorough in his analysis and it is evident he incorporates your wishes in his game plan. He does a very good job outlining the pros and cons of your case, along with potential risk, even when you don't want to hear it. He is also very open about areas he needs to research prior to giving advise, a much appreciated quality when working with attorneys. I have been fortunate to work with Daniel over the years. It is evident that he does not wish to live on his past accomplishments. He continues to educate himself to expand the depth and scope of his legal knowledge. V/R, scott

In your life, you would not know how painful it is to deal with irrational people until you get into it. My life was up and down struggling dealing with mentally ex. Due to my health issues and my financial difficulty, I need to back out to live a normal life again. I don't care if I am poor or not. I need my healthy life back. I hired previous lawyer before Dan, he left me hanging up tight. I found Dan on Avvo. I read all of his reviews before making my decision. Dan is a great lawyer. He keep me update with all the things my ex lawyer throwing at us. My ex is all about money. I wish she would be happy with money than living with me. I worked every night and even my day off for two years to fix my house got big values, and even borrowing from my parent for the down payment of the house. Without my parents, we are homeless. I got all headache from my ex from little things in the house like CDs, blu ray ..... since she want more and more money ......etc. It was a waste of time to deal with others side since I am making little income while my ex making more money than me to have her lawyer harassing me. Dan is ethical lawyer, he would not waste any of your time to use any non-sense methods to throw back even though I have a lot of evidence to show my ex stealing stuff from the house. We don't want to be like any of them. He would work with you to get you out safely. I think it is really good for me, because life is not always about money, it is about peace of mind. healthy and rest. Dan knows what to do and how to protect your rights. I am really highly recommend anyone who have painful marriage to step forward to hire Dan without any doubt. very pleased with his staff and his office services. I would always keep in touch with his office to recommend to all my friends or relative if they have problem, Trust me, bipolar people is not easy for Dan to deal with. but he saved my life which I thought I would not have it anymore. God bless, and my ex would realize it someday, she would be happy to end this in more peaceful way than wasting the money that people worked hard for it.

I hired Daniel Pocklington over a year ago to help me litigate my divorce and child custody case. While the case was not originally overly complicated the other party has done their best to drag out the legal proceedings. The whole process has taken much longer than neither Dan nor I originally thought. Dan has been there to help me deal with each new legal obstacle we have been thrown. He is responsive to my calls and emails. It has never taken more then 24 hours to hear back from him, especially since some legal matters are time sensitive this has been a really valuable trait on his part. In preparation for long case hearings he has always done his best to use legal aids (who are great and professional as well) to help compile evidence while keeping the cost down, when possible. They always arrive with a box or more of evidence ready to present to the court to help my case. He is always organized and ready to go during court appearances, he gives me ample time to prepare what he needs from me and always reminds me of deadlines so we get all the paperwork in on time to the court. He has been flexible and understanding when it comes to payment and is always willing to work with me to figure out how to set up payment plans. As unpleasant as this legal experience has been I am really glad I chose Dan to represent me, he has done his best to keep the ball rolling and express my views and opinions accurately and efficiently to the court.
