About

Dan Whitehead grew up in Anderson, Indiana, completed his Bachelor’s degree and Master's degree from Ball State, and earned his Juris Doctorate from Indiana University – Indianapolis. Dan overcame tremendous adversity in life as a child when his father and brother were arrested, convicted, and sent to prison.  Without the money for high priced attorneys and not having the finer things in life (other than a wonderful grandmother Dan would say), Dan worked his way through school paying his way and earning the grades needed to get into law school so that he may find a way of getting his brother and father released from prison.  During this time, Dan was also wrongfully charged criminally but he proved his innocence and was acquitted.  Having been through the legal system, wrongfully accused of a crime, he is able to relate to his clients like no other attorney in Madison County. Dan knows what it is like to go visit family in prison for Christmas. Watching his family torn apart by the legal system, he now looks for ways to use the system to strengthen children.  As he watches parents find ways of attacking the other parent inside and outside the courtroom, he tells clients, “Children need love, trust, and hope. Look in the mirror, ‘Am I really doing this to my kid?’ A child will blame themselves.” He aims to work to resolve family conflict in peaceful resolutions with visitation and custody plans that focus on the children, because in the end, it is what the parents want as well – well adjusted happy children. Recently Dan has been speaking out as a cancer survivor beating stage 4 cancer.  He truly believes through his life’s work  you can always overcome adversity.

My wife needed a lawyer to handle a situation and I was looking for a lawyer when I contacted Mr. Whiteheads office for help. Mr Whitehead said he could help and went into the office and also met with Mr Alan Miller. Mr Miller stated that they would work to help my wife out and make everything work out. We just got a phone call and was told that my wife was offered a agreement and was a VERY good agreement and my wife accepted the agreement. I would recommend Mr Whitehead to ANYONE who needs a lawyer. He cares about and fights hard for his clients.

Caring - Mr. Whitehead is very understanding took an interest in my case. His office is very helpful. Did a great job at representing the case. He is your voice for the ones who have no voice. He knows the system and how it works. And takes each case to heart. I highly recommend his office when you need a voice to speak for you through the system. Would hire him again. Brenda

I reached out to Mr Whitehead, he was kind talked to me about my issue for almost an hour before he was even hired. He was a down to earth individual that showed compassion for others as a human being. He treated me like a friend not just any old client. This warmed my heart and I feel I made the right choice in hiring him.

The law office of Daniel Whitehead has represented me on two occasions. The staff worked together to keep me informed of the status of my situation. They were responsive to my email and telephone calls. Daniel personally let me know what their strategy was going to be before going into court and they fought for me. They were well prepared going into court. I would highly recommend Daniel Whitehead and his staff. Bob

I'm not one to do reviews, but I just had to take time out to tell everyone about this office. I had spoken with Kara the paralegal about my situation and my court hearing in a week, which isn't enough notice to get much done. She went above and beyond to make sure we were able to proceed and fit me into their schedule. She listened to everything I said and gave me so much hope. She made me feel like my past didn't matter, it only molded me into the great mother I've become. Her drive gave me the motivation I needed to turn things around and get the help I have been seeking. In a short amount of time, she did the most . Mr whitehead also made me comfortable knowing that we've got this! Such amazing people! I will forever turn to this office in time of need. Kara and dan are amazing! Thank you KARA FOR THE HOPE AND HELP YOUVE GIVEN ME.

Many thanks to Kara who helped facilitated the termination of child support for me. I lost a lot of sleep worrying about daughter. As a result, I paid child support much longer than I probably should have, since my daughter was 24 years old, with mental disabilities. I paid for the birth of two grandchildren, while my daughter was in and out of my ex wife's home. When my daughter got married, my ex-wife wanted me to continue child support to help my daughter and new husband. But I found out that she was not receiving benefits of my payments. Thanks to Daniel Whitehead and especially Kara, this sensitive issue has been resolved.

what can I say about Daniel Whitehead. Very surprising. From Michigan had to go to Indiana for child custody with my son. The day I met Daniel was on a Friday midday. We were looking for a lawyer. He just happened to be in his office. Showed up and regular playing close wasn't supposed to be there. But he seen us anyways. And agreed to help us. He also does DUIs family law and personal injuries. A decent and respectable man. Wish it was more than five stars

After several months trying to find the right attorney and over eight years of a custody battle and a run in with the court system, we were all becoming discouraged. It wasn’t until recently our daughter found Daniel Whitehead and immediately upon the first meeting with Daniel, it was apparent he was the right choice. Daniels past personal experiences, compassion, dedication, commitment, and professional experience allowed him to relate to our daughters circumstances and needs. Already he has taken action towards resolving the issues in a quick and efficient manner. We are so every grateful for Daniel Whitehead. Brenda
