Dan is one of the most passionate attorneys I've ever had the privilege of knowing. If you've ever had the occasion to use the expression "take it to the bank", you were likely attempting to convey a guarantee or promise of some kind. For Dan, “take it to the bank” is a professional creed he lives by. If you hire him, you are guaranteed to receive the highest degree of representation. You will also have bagged yourself legal counsel who quite literally, “takes it to the bank” in every single foreclosure defense matter he works on. While our friends in the creditors bar representing banks may not, without hesitation, I absolutely endorse this lawyer.

Dan Khwaja is a great lawyer. He has a passion for his work and his zealous advocacy is demonstrated in his work product. I would hire Dan to represent me in any lawsuit, not just a foreclosure case, because he is a student of the law and knows how to figure things out. Dan uses cutting-edge arguments and knows how to advance his client's position with efficiency and persuasion, I can confidently recommend Dan as one of the finest members of the bar.
