Fight, Fight, Fight, He will for you!

I can't say enough about Dan! Without getting into lengthy detail my son got in some trouble while visiting his Father, let's just say my son has some challenges in his life. Dan became like a friend and for 2 yrs went above and beyond to fight to get my son's charges reduced and advocated for him. ...You won't be disappointed if you hire Dan Holzapfel! In all honesty I was shocked to actually have found an attorney that really was vested in his client.

Highly recommend

Dan was a lifesaver to me when I was in a tough spot. I had some life changing charges pending and the lawyer representing me at the time tried to convince me that “it was over”. I’m so glad I took a chance and contacted Dan. He took the time to listen and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He ...argued my case quickly and effectively and was able to plead the case down to a much lesser charge. Had I not found Dan at the last minute I would have ended up in a very difficult situation. Highly recommend.

Professional and straightforward

Hired Dan for two moving violation tickets. From the first time talking to Dan on the phone he made me feel comfortable about the stressful situation. Dan is a great communicator and was straightforward about the process and what to expect which I appreciated. I am happy with the outcome Dan was able... to obtain and I am glad I chose him to represent me.

Guardian angel

My name is Scott and this is all true, last November I got into some trouble with an ex girlfriend, and I was looking at three major charges. I was looking at about five years in prison and with a lot of help from Dan. I was fortunate enough to get pretrial intervention. Without Dan‘s help I would’ve... absolutely gone to prison. I would’ve lost everything. This isn’t a game. This isn’t a joke. This isn’t a promo. This guy saved my life. He gave me a fighting chance. There’s a lot of lawyers out there, but by the grace of God, this guy came into my life and I am forever grateful. I can’t say enough. Hopefully, I’ll never be in any trouble again And I’ve learned my lesson, but if it wasn’t for him, I don’t know where I would be. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.
