Listen for catchy phrases to lure you in.

In my opinion, Attorney David S. DeHorse, is a real piece of work. If you hear any of these phrases, run. This is a slam dunk case, I’ll get you fees and double damages, I thought I sent that, I have very little time in this, or any other statement that leads you on, run. Actually, my Wife won our... case and not Attorney David S. DeHorse. He did do the paperwork, but when it came to nut-cutting time, we did the heavy lifting. My Wife found a voice mail on our phone from the Defendant that blew this case wide open. In addition, I gave written instructions on the number to settle on. Well, after the final billing we’re $842.61 dollars short. I wonder where the money went?

CHAMPION FIGHTER!!!!

With the new landlord/tenant laws in place in Wisconsin -- it is more now, than ever for the landlord. My husband and I retained Atty. DeHorse because we had an issue with our landlord. Briefly, he wanted to charge us $3,000+ for damages to the home we rented. We were upset and determined to fight... them tooth and nail. With Atty. DeHorse's help -- we won! If you need help because your landlord is being everything BUT a landlord -- call Atty. DeHorse. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!!! If you need an attorney whobecause he said

Tenant-landlord

We David through the Madison Tenant resource center. We had been having issues with our landlord for several months and he advised us on how to handle it, prior to legal action. Our lease expired and we felt the landlord wrongfully withheld part of our security deposit. David's knowledge and experi...ence really showed through during his questioning of our case in preparation for filing and trial. He discovered that there were multiple infractions that we could seek damages from our former landlord and we agreed to file all of them. David was through and accurate in what to expect during the filing and trial process and what the judge would probably rule. Our incredibly uncomfortable experience with our landlord was quickly forgotten when David won our case. The landlord wrongfully withheld $163. The judge ruled in our favor damage of >$3000. Thank you David!

Outstanding help during a time of need.

Mr. DeHorse helped us through a difficult time as tenants. His expertise and professionalism were essential in helping us find a resolution to challenges we faced in our living situation. He went above and beyond to make us feel confident and secure in our pursuit of resolution. I highly recommen...d Mr. DeHorse to anyone in need of legal assistance as a tenant. He is detail oriented, a good communicator, and a dedicated ally.
