Excellent attorney!
Mr. Dan Halper was a superb attorney that helped me immensely with my case. I had a copyright infringement case and Dan advised me every step of the way on how to approach and deal with my client to get a healthy settlement. I would recommend him very highly to anyone that needs a personable, knowled...

Guardianship
Hired Dan Halper to take my case on a guardianship case, unfortunately there was a big mix up at the post office. Instead of dealing with it and getting back to me with the end result he calls me and offers me several different ways to resend the retainer. I go to the bank and put a stop payment on t...
Even by his own account, this man was NEVER my client and NEVER hired me. To his credit, he did send a check to me with what I believe was a genuine intention to hire me. However, the United States Postal Service mis-sorted his envelope which caused it to be sent to a different address. He accuses me of "Not getting back to me with the end result." This is a blatant falsehood. I immediately began a trace of the envelope and informed him that the envelope was lost. Instead of giving the Post Office a chance to find the envelope he did the prudent thing and canceled the check. The envelope was found the next day and by then his check was canceled and worthless -- so I never had any funds from him and therefore he was never a client and I was never his lawyer. This should have ended the matter. However, he began to demand that I work for him on terms quite different from what we had formerly agreed to. I refused. Soon afterwards he began to threaten to post a negative review of me, if I didn't send him the (now worthless) check. I attempted to send it back to him but he gave me an address that did not exist. Finally I proposed that I meet him in person to hand him back the worthless check. As he states (one of the few parts of the review that is truthful) he woke me up prior to normal business hours eager to meet me. I wasn't able to speak to him at the time, but called him back several times later in the day but he never answered. Finally he posted this absurd review claiming that he had hired me which is quite obviously not the case. When I confronted him with documented evidence that I did indeed immediately move to find the package he finally responded claiming that in his opinion, what I really did wrong was INFORM HIM that his envelope was lost as if keeping him in the dark would have been the proper thing to do. Of course, I don't keep crucial information like this a secret from clients. It would be blatantly unethical.

Helped me resolve a most difficult situation
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, ...
My client categorized this as 'administrative law' but it was actually an estate matter/ surrogates court.

Forced my landlord to fix my apartment
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...
