For a year, Atty. Daniel Lane helped me through legal matters (drafting a prenup and last will and testament and representing me in my divorce). I had never been in a situation like this before. Every proceeding was foreign to me. He guided me through the process and settled my nerves when I was apprehensive. He has my best interests and made sure I was protected. He really knew his business and I am so happy that I selected him to represent me. He made himself available to me almost 24/7 and his paralegal, Ms. Nicole Pellicane was attentive to my correspondence as anyone I have ever encountered. Together, this two helped me in my case and get my house back that allowed me to move on with my life. I am grateful for everything that Atty. Daniel Lane did for me and I wholeheartedly recommend him and Lane and Lane for their outstanding service.
