Dan Reed Halper

My brother passed away last September. Since he lived there alone the police, by law, sealed the apartment. I needed legal assistance to be able to re enter that apartment and take away all of my childhood memories. My family had lived there since 1963. Dan Halper was a Godsend! He is meticulous, ...conscientious, and thorough in everything he does. Always communicative and deliberate every step of the way. Thanks to Dan's efforts, I now have the ability to go back to our apartment in the Bronx and gather a lifetime worth of memories. I have been most fortunate to have been referred to Dan Halper and I highly recommend his services.

I was referred to Dan by a trusted colleague of mine when I was facing a personal problem which was paralyzing my life and therefore endangering my business. Dan was a joy to work with. He analyzed the issues closely and drew up settlement papers which ended the problem for good. I now consult him... in a multitude of business matters and heartily recommend him to others.

I am an elderly man living in the East Village in New York City. I have lived in the same apartment since 1967. Because I have rent control, I pay one of the lowest rents in the entire city. For over twenty years my various landlords illegally refused to repair my apartment because he did not see... it to be profitable to do so. I hired Dan Halper who took my landlord to court, and over the course of months forced my landlord to renovate my apartment and bring it up to code. Dan poured immense energy into the job taking many photographs and even helping to film and edit a movie about my struggle to repair my apartment. He personally supervised each visit by construction crews so that the landlord's attorney could not make false claims in court claims that work had been done if it really hadn't. For several years now I have been able to enjoy a far more habitable residence. I was very happy with Dan's work and referred him to my upstairs neighbor whose funds had been unfairly taken by a court appointed guardian after my neighbor suffered a stroke. My neighbor made an unexpected recovery but the court would not give him his money back. He had hired five attorneys and they had all failed. Dan took the case to trial and won it completely leaving my neighbor with no guardian and with control over his funds until the day he died. Soon afterwards, my landlord attempted to evict another elderly neighbor of mine falsely claiming that she lived in Puerto Rico. Dan forced the landlord to back off and actually withdraw the court case. Since then, he has actively assisted me with a number of business contracts and dealings with government agencies. I am grateful for his assistance.

I am an musical artist and engineer in New York City. I came to Dan at a time of crisis to deal with a very private personal problem that could have caused me great personal harm. He was able to deal with the problem and delivered a 100% resolution. I also consult with him periodically on music bu...siness issues; and, I am currently consulting with him on a music copyright and licensing issue.

My name is Michael Kane. I am a teacher for the New York City public school system specializing in the education of children with multiple and severe disabilities. I have known Dan Halper for almost 8 years. We met on account of work we were both doing for a public access television program. At t...he time, he was a licensed attorney but did not yet have an active practice. I have often relied on Dan for legal services and advice especially in relation to my needs in regard to my adopted son who came to the Untied States from Honduras and has had to work through issues of child abuse that he experienced in Honduras and associated developmental problems. Dan has always accomplished this work with patience and care, and has never charged me more than a very reasonable fee.
