Client

The most unfortunate situation of being targeted by the DOJ leaves one devastated and helpless at so many levels. To find competent legal defense counsel is a challenge and difficult given the pending devastation to oneself and those in ones life. I engaged Dan, who when given a short window regardin...g a time sensitive response to an appeal out of state, and which had been initially undertaken by me as a non-lawyer, was a welcomed comfort. He responded to my needs quickly, embraced my dilemma and fully understood my relatively complicated case. Dan immediately committed an incredible amount of time and effort towards a knowledgeable, thorough and professional response. Unfortunately, with hindsight, my biggest mistake was not engaging him early on as to my case. I have no question whatsoever that the outcome would have resulted in my not getting a 6 year sentence, 3 years of probation and having my case fully and properly defended from the beginning. Dan is a professional at every level and that is a rarity in the area of legal defense. I encourage anyone in such need to engage him as soon as possible when faced with being a David against a Goliath.

Best defence attorney when you need help

Dan Holzapfel is a great defense attorney who expertly navigated the grey area of juvenile to adult law. He was extremely prompt at responding, even late at night and on weekends. He clearly defined the lay of the land and the options available to us and their consequences. Mr Holzapfel showed expe...rt knowledge of the law as pertained to our case, as well as useful knowledge of the court system and the people involved along the way. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes with all parties involved to advocate for the best outcome rather than waiting for the courts to decide. Would recommend his services wholeheartedly.

Pleasure to work with and an excellent attorney

Mr. Holzapfel was quick in returning my call for consultation and very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I hired Mr. Holzapfel and he showed up to court very organized and with plenty of time to discuss my case further. All charges were dismissed thanks to Mr. Holzapfel being so professional... and knowledgeable I would definitely hire him again for any matter big or small. He was a pleasure to work with.
