Dan handled my case with class, sophistication, and diligence. Dan counseled me when the situation required, and also listened to me when appropriate. There was never a question regarding how Dan planned to represent my interests, and he advocated for me with the right balance of zeal and grace. If you have an administrative matter that demands representation, Dan is a great choice.

Great experience working with this firm. They were professional, responsive, and very thorough throughout the process. Attorney Dan Lype was especially prepared and detail-oriented. If you’re looking for a team that will guide you through a complex situation with clarity and professionalism, I would definitely recommend them.

I am so excited to write this review! I received a heart rending notice by the state board that a complaint was made against me. I was distraught and confused,not knowing what to expect. I did my research and found one of the best lawyers in the business to represent me. I reached out to Mr. Darrin Dest and related to him my situation. He was very kind,attentive and immediately got to work on my case. He was able to tackle the issue and my case was DISMISSED! Thank you Mr.Dest !
Owner response

When there was a complaint launched against me I reached Betty Smith to protect my License. Betty Smith has been amazing right from the start of my case. She was knowledgeable, and very detailed and communicated very well to understand the situation clearly. She is very efficient and a trust worthy lawyer. I definitely recommend her.

I have been a nurse for the last 36 years And a nurse practitioner for the last 26 and I have never had to deal with a State Board complaint. But unfortunately, three years ago a complaint was filed and I found Betty Smith attorney in Austin Texas. She is a partner with Lype Dest Smith Law Firm. She has been a blessing the last three years. I did not know anything about what to do from step one to step 20 and she took care of everything, she eased my fears and made sure that I received the best representation in order to continue to protect my license. We got word today that the case has been closed and nothing further needed to be done. There is no way I could’ve been able to take care of all of the legal steps that this required without the assistance of Betty Smith. She never doubted me one time and always believed my statement that I had done nothing wrong and that the allegation was untrue. She never stopped notifying me of each step of the process throughout the last 3 1/2 years. I would recommend her to anyone that is ever in this type of situation!

At this point, I feel like Betty and I should be inviting each other to Thanksgiving dinners because we’ve been hacking away at the same case for nearly three years! Proud to say that today I received my case closed letter and I can’t imagine having done this with anyone else by my side. I interviewed multiple attorneys before choosing her and the way she listened to me and the feedback she gave during our consult meeting was a very accurate representation of her style over the entirety of my case. I felt like she actually cared about this outcome and me as a person, and when you’re literally fighting for your livelihood, that means a lot. I needed her authenticity and level head more than I even realized and I did not feel like she deliberately racked up a bill unnecessarily or drug things out to cost more (wish I could say the same for my divorce and custody battle, iykyk). While I hope to never need her services again, I wouldn’t hesitate to have her to represent me in the future and would send even my very best friends to her and her partners.

Dan represented me before the Texas Board of Law Examiners. I was really nervous and wasn't sure what to expect. He was understanding, honest, and professional, and brought my case to a successful outcome. I'm very happy with his representation and I highly recommend him.
Owner response
