Daniel A Menendez, Attorney at Law

Daniel was very helpful in analyzing my case, very informative, and I was not even a formal client at the time. I have worked with over two dozen attorneys over the years and if you are looking for an attorney that is caring, honorable, straightforward, whom knows his stuff, Daniel is your man.

Daniel answered the phone himself and started talking to me like we already knew each other. Very calm, collected and informed. He did not rush me off the phone, or say anything about fees. He listened and made good suggestions for my issue. Anyone needing quick and solid information is recommended to call him. Thank you Daniel for being available, honest and on the spur of the moment.

I recently began exploring the job market again, interviewing for new positions in the accounting field. Accountants are in high demand right now, so I was fortunate enough to receive many job offers from some very prestigious firms.
Once again, Daniel’s review of my employment offers made all the difference in the world. This situation was a bit different than the last, so Daniel did a great job of keeping me informed and up-​to-​date. Intelligence is a common trait among attorneys, so that is not particularly distinguishing for him. What is distinguishing is grouping intelligence with his passion and heart.
In my experience, Daniel has always delivered on his promises because he is a man of his word and always does what’s right. If you want proper representation from someone who cares — give him a try!

I found Daniel on Unilocal and based on his rave reviews, called him for some legal employee-​employer advice. I really didn’t expect him to answer the phone on my first call but he did. Points right there!
He listened to my whole story with patience and he explained to me how the law would work in regards to it. He gave me scenarios of how it could play out and what action I could do based on the scenarios.
We spoke for about 20 minutes, no charge. He told me I probably wouldn’t need an attorney but if I did or if, for example, I wanted to hire him to go over any paperwork/​contract, he would. He said his fee is $ 300/​hr.
I highly recommend Daniel based on the care I received, the patience and thoughtful observation and constructive feedback. He was readily available and did not come across as busy, greedy or impersonal like other attorneys often do. Best of all, he knew his stuff.

I needed quick legal advice on a recent employment situation and called Daniel. Even though I didn’t have a case with my employer, he still gave me guidance on what other options to pursue. He is very genuine and helpful no matter if you have a case or not. Give him a call you won’t be disappointed.

Daniel is a class act. I was referred to him by a third party to handle an employment case that had an equity component. Though equity cases aren’t his specialty, he reviewed my specific situation and gave me a lot of great feedback. He referred me to another attorney to review my case with whom I’m currently engaging. He was very thorough in reviewing the materials I provided and thoughtful in his advice. I would highly recommend him.

Was needing legal advice/​consultation regarding my issue in the workplace and found mr menendez. After reading the reviews, I knew he was the guy I could turn to. Called him a few times but no answer. I was really needing some advice so called a couple of places. After being discouraged and about to give up, my phone rang and it was Mr Menendez returning my call even though I didn’t leave any messages on his voicemail. He spoke to me like a decent human being should, listened to me!, validated my feelings!, and gave me the advice I needed — the other lawyer said I should see a doctor and de-​stress for a week or two! I am very grateful that he called back because otherwise I probably would have become another employee who sweeps an issue (a situation that keeps occurring time and time again) under the rug. I definitely recommend mr menendez for your employment law needs.

I was looking for lawyer and found Daniel on Unilocal.I called him and enquired. Based on my situation, he knew that he has no business from me. But he continued to guide me. I even offered him to pay for consultation. But he pointed to go with self guidance option, which would save consultation fee. As it was not worth.
Amazing person. Don’t hesitate. If you need lawyer, go for him.

This post is basically for a phone conversation we had. I would think most lawyers wouldn’t have the time to actually discuss things over the phone. Unfortunately, wasn’t able to use his service but he did recommend another lawyer. To make things short: Daniel took the time to listen to my story regarding a work situation, helped me realized some things, and pointed things out that finally made sense!

As a labor union official in the public sector for 17 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the very best labor attorneys in California. About six years ago I was introduced to Daniel and I worked closely with him on many labor issues including contract interpretation, disciplinary actions, grievances and wrongful terminations.
Daniel is very bright, highly motivated and compassionate. He really does his «homework» and performs a lot of legal research when preparing for an issue. Daniel’s customer service skills are top-​notch, yet he’s not one to candy-​coat anything and he will tell you the truth as he knows it, each and every time, without making any false promises. Isn’t that after all, what we want from our attorney?
I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Daniel to a friend or colleague and in fact I just pointed a colleague in Daniel’s direction

Mr. Menendez offered legal advice about an employment situation that needed to be addressed ASAP. He is compassionate and extremely knowledgable. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs assistance with employment issues.

Mr. Menendez is a terrific attorney and his knowledge of employment law really helped me out. I was in a situation that I was unsure about my rights and the actions necessary. Daniel was very prompt in taking my call and spent a significant amount of time with me helping me understand the law and how it applies to me. I did not feel rushed to explain the situation and I most definitely felt like I was heard. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone seeking employment law support.

Having spoken with Daniel a number of times regarding employment law, it’s clear that he’s exceptionally knowledgeable in the field. Daniel is clearly passionate when it comes to employee rights and ensuring they’re treated and compensated fairly. He’s also honest when it comes to building expectation which is important when discussing law suits. I highly recommend Daniel’s services when looking for an employment law attorney.

I’ve worked with Daniel Menendez on multiple occasions and always been very impressed with his approach to employment law. Daniel is very knowledgeable and his clients love him. He is well respected in the legal community because he works hard and is true to his word. I’d recommend Daniel to anyone with an employment law issue who needs a great attorney.

I have known Daniel for nearly 15 years. As an attorney myself, I can say with the utmost confidence that he is a professional in every sense of the word.
When I was practicing out of state, I would often reach out to all of the California attorneys I knew with questions regarding California practice and procedure. Regardless of how busy he was, Daniel would always respond to me promptly and thoroughly.
Daniel is ethical, professional, hard-​working and responsive. He is my go-​to attorney in San Jose and I recommend him highly.

Mr. Menendez is the consummate professional. He has handle every legal question I have posed to him over the past several years with ease. Unlike many attorneys I have dealt with, he is quick to return emails/​calls, and genuinely seems to care about the issues I present him.
Whenever, I have a need for legal assistance, Mr. Menendez is my attorney of choice.

I called Mr. Menendez for some employment law information. He was very professional, personable, and clear with his answers. He could not take my case but was very helpful in answering my questions and telling me how to proceed on my own. I would call him again!

Daniel negotiated an excellent settlement agreement for me when my employment at UCSF ended abruptly after several years due to state budget cuts. I found him through another SCU School of Law alum. After our first meeting, I knew that Daniel was experienced in dealing with the complex issues surrounding my termination. He created an effective case plan and was honest with me about the weaknesses of my case yet savvy enough to call the University on its bluffs. The lack of a physical office was something to get used to, but Daniel’s fair rates and responsiveness to my countless frantic inquiries made up for it. I hope I will never need legal help like this again. But should any problems arise in my career going forward, I am grateful to now have a reliable, well-​connected expert in my corner.

I have known Mr. Menendez for over 7 years, and never hesitate to refer clients to him for their employment law needs. I have found him to be diligent, dedicated, and extremely knowledgeable. Mr. Menendez goes to bat for each of his clients and is an attorney you want on your side when tackling employment law issues. To have an experienced employment law attorney to help navigate through legal issues is priceless and I am very lucky to have Mr. Menendez on my team.

Mr. Menendez is a professional and dedicated attorney. He helped my husband and I through a difficult lawsuit brought against us by a crazy woman looking for an easy pay day.
I was pregnant when we were sued, which made it especially stressful, but Mr. Menendez provided us great legal advice and did everything possible to get our case resolved fast. He was very quick to respond when we needed his help, and never tried to do stuff we didn’t need to do in order to get money out of us. He quickly pointed out all of the wholes in her story and got our case dismissed.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use Mr. Menendez again for any legal issues. Highly recommended.
