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.

Excellent attorney

Daniel is an excellent attorney. He was there for me throughout all hours of the night. He never left my side throughout the whole process. He explained everything throughly. He got my case modified to all charges being drop. He is well worth the money. Daniel was my get out of jail free card but lik...e all things freedom comes with a price!

Saved my life!! The best!!

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!

The only attorney in NY worth hiring, world's best attorney!

Dan Hochheiser has been my attorney for over 5 years. Every time I have needed him he has come through - with flying colors. In 2008, I was arrested in the wake of a string of arrests associated with providing Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer with call girls. I made the mistake of hiring another attorney... because he told me what I wanted to hear. This attorney, Mark J. Heller, stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from my family and left me sitting to rot in Riker's Island for close to 4 months. We later found out that he had been suspended for 5 years with 18 different plaintiffs against him for stealing bail money and not showing up for their trial dates. After 3 months of sitting in jail, I came back to Dan and within 4 business days he got me out on reduced bail and back at home with my family. He fought hard for me to get released which wasn't easy because the former attorney had thoroughly bumbled my case and pissed off the A.D.A. Dan was with me every step of the way from calling from jail in tears to negotiating my plea, negotiating my bail and even helped me put my life back together and got me off probation 2 years early. All of these things I will forever be eternally grateful. You can not find a more honest, trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable attorney in the world. Dan will always tell you the truth - even if its not what you want to hear and will fight harder then anyone to win your case. I would never hire another attorney.
