Hello, my name is Justin and I would like to tell you my story and tell you how Dan Koukol and his investigator helped me tremendously.
I am 28 years old, I have five prior felony convictions, and I have been to prison twice. My mother found Dan and hired him to represent me. I’m glad she did. When I was arrested I was charged with violent crimes that would have caused me to remain in prison for over one hundred years (104 years to life).
My mom hired Dan on a Sunday. That same day he went to the crime scene and began interviewing witnesses. He also took pictures and made sure my evidence was not lost. I met Dan the next day. I could tell right away that he was actually going to try to help me. He gave me straight answers and got me involved in my own case.
Over the next several weeks Dan and his investigator prepared my defense. Dan visited me and kept me posted on how my case was going. On my second court appearance (with Dan) he got the prosecutor and the judge to agree that I was mischarged and that I actually had only one prior strike. This brought my maximum sentence down from 104 years to life to 15 years and 8 months.
Dan’s investigator talked to every witness on my case. He even went door-to-door asking neighbors if they had seen the incident. He discovered some things that really helped my case and that caused the prosecutor to realize that things weren’t exactly how he originally thought they were.
On my fourth court appearance Dan got the prosecutor to make an offer that was much, much better than I ever imagined would be possible. I avoided pleading to any strikes and I will end up serving less than three years. I will be home in time to see my son start kindergarten.
I can tell you that if you need a really good attorney (and investigator), you should hire Dan.
