About Daniel

Attorney Daniel L. Hitzke is the managing partner of Hitzke & Ferran, LLP and has worked with our firm for twelve years. Mr. Hitzke was born in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico in 1974. After he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University, Chico, he attended the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California. He received his Juris Doctor degree in May of 2000. Mr. Hitzke started his career as an attorney at a prominent Southern California workers’ compensation law firm. After years of dedication to his clients and dozens of successful trials, he became a partner at that firm. Within two years of becoming a partner, he converted the workers’ compensation firm into a multi-practice litigation firm now known as Hitzke & Ferran LLP.

Mr. Hitzke is an experienced trial attorney, representing clients in workers’ compensation, personal injury, employment and discrimination actions, and business litigation cases throughout California. He has had numerous favorable jury verdicts in the State of California Superior Court, along with numerous finding and award decisions before both the Workers Compensation Appeals Board and the State of California Labor Commissioner. Mr. Hitzke also belongs to the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. This organization allows only the noted “Top Trial” attorneys in the United States to join as members. He earned this prestigious distinction by representing injured persons and their families and obtained numerous verdicts/awards worth over one million dollars.

Review Daniel Hitzke

Really fought hard for me

Posted by

Daniel went to court for me when I couldn't. He's very helpful and patient (it took 11 years for workers comp case because the defense wants to starve me out). It a good feeling to know someone is in your side with knowledge and tenacity to go the distance.

Daniel Hitzke and his team have revolutionized the litigated aspect of our claims handling and settlements. He has closed claims lagging with our previous attorneys and saved us over 2 million dollars in under 2 years with settlements in one state alone. Some might think him a MAGICIAN but no, he is just a GREAT, HARD WORKING attorney who FIGHTS for his CLIENTS and WINS! ... CONSISTANTLY!! You want Team Hitzke on your side!!
