Great Attorney!

I was the victim of an egregious false accusation, and almost immediately retained Dan as my defense attorney. Not only did he expertly guide me through the criminal justice process from the time he was retained through the dismissal of all charges; he was also an accessible and caring confidante th...rough this trying time. Anyone in need of defense attorney representation should consider Mr. Hochheiser!

Gratitude

I am extremely grateful for Mr. Hochheiser's fast and effective help. As soon as I contacted him, he returned my call and went to work helping me deal with the consequences of a scam. He was upfront with his fees and his friendly demeanor was comforting. I recommend Mr. Hochheiser without any reserv...ation.

Couldn't Be More Happier With the Professionalism and Attention to Detail Exhibited by Daniel

It's an unfortunate episode to have to seek legal counsel but the reality is that no one should ever go at it alone when they are either being questioned or investigated by law enforcement. I found myself in this situation and had the initial instinct to go at it alone because in my heart and mind I... knew that I was innocent but am glad that I changed course and retained Daniel Hochheiser to represent me. Daniel provided me with very specific and thorough legal counsel to remove me from harms way and to protect the things I have worked so hard to build. Daniel understands criminal law from all vantage points. Daniel also gave me the sense that "we are in this together" and that my cooperation along with his ability to navigate what I was confronted with would end in a positive outcome. His representation of me at a most critical moment was nothing short of stellar. If you find yourself facing uncertainty in the cross-hairs of a legal matter I highly recommend that you retain the services of Daniel. He is a seasoned attorney and well-respected in his jurisdiction and will do everything necessary to bring a swift resolution to your matter. I will also say that his fees are very reasonable for the services and representation provided. If you find yourself in a situation that seems bleak, do yourself a favor and retain the services of Daniel Hochheiser and under no circumstances should you ever think you can go at it alone.
