Daniel P. Bestul

Working alongside his clients, Dan helps them identify their goals and the resources available to reach those goals. Dan is particularly adept at managing complex financial issues and cases involving children. He ensures that clients understand the range of options so they can choose the one that best satisfies their needs and values. Dan’s objective is not just to win a battle but to help his clients build their futures. Skilled in collaboration, mediation and traditional litigation, Dan is a strong advocate of the collaborative approach. He believes that clients benefit from being involved in every step of the process. They create agreements themselves rather than having settlements imposed on them, and move forward from divorce with a greater sense of control over their futures. Dan recognizes there are no “one size for all” answers to family law challenges, and that includes the level of help people need. Some want a lawyer who will take care of everything, while others can do most of the work on their own, and just need a little support. Those people, then are provided limited scope (sometimes called “unbundling”) representation.
