Daniel Adam Hochheiser

I was referred to contact Dan about almost 3 years into my on-going case. I knew I had to at least meet with Dan because I felt my case was hopeless. My previous lawyer wanted me to plead guilty to the charges the DA had against me. I have to admit, on the way to Dan's office for consultation, I wa...sn't expecting much hope, but end of our meeting, I knew Dan was the defense attorney that I needed. Not knowing what decisions to make and what decisions not to make, it made me feel comfortable to be guided by what recommendations Dan brought forward. For example, Dan felt we needed certain experts to support my case (private investigator, accident reconstruction, etc.) while others, after consultation, he would recommend that although they will help my case, they would not be necessary and not be cost effective to do so. I can't imagine all the time Dan put into my case, from visiting the scene of the accident (whereas my previous lawyer did not go once), from our meetings at his office to all the information he was obtaining from our experts, investigators and the amount of discovery from the DA. All of this truly did come to light when the trial started. This was when I was most nervous, yet this was when Dan was most confident. During jury selection, Dan knew what jurors he wanted to select by asking few questions he's allowed. This was truly amazing to watch. More so, was during Dan's cross-examination of DA witnesses. I probably shouldn't describe exactly what I mean but I will say he makes it look easy to adjust strategy and questioning on the fly! Believe me, after an arrest, you feel hopeless and helpless. You have no idea what to do. It is a sickening feeling. I went through this for about 3 years until I was able to hire Dan as my defense attorney. He was outstanding from day one. And to reiterate my title, Dan saved my life!

Dan Hochheiser took a personal interest in my case and devoted many hours to seeing that I got the best plea bargain possible. He also went above and beyond to see that I got a placement for my community service, which was no easy task. I suspect that another lawyer would simply have left me to str...uggle with the situation on my own. His answers to my emails usually came within minutes, often at night or on weekends. I strongly recommend him.
