Daniel Michael Holzman

A couple years back I contacted Dan for an employer issue I had, When first talking with him he made me feel very confident using his services. We signed the contract and off we went. At first I didn't hear from him for quite some time, when I did he would talk down to me and make pretty rude comment...s aimed at my intelligence. After about 4 months of nothing happening his assistant or receptionist contacts me asking if I know where to find the employer I was going after. I told them where they can find them and shortly after I did so the necessary papers were finally served to the person. I feel we had a really good case since the employer was just attacking my character and not really addressing any of our claims. Then I was given a bunch of papers to fill out I didn't really know what or how to answer what they were asking but I did my best and turned them into his assistant. I felt I was doing quite a bit but was happy to help any way I could to help facilitate my case. After a little while of emailing info back and forth I thought it would be much easier, if he had something to talk about with me to call or text because I sometimes don't check emails, and he hadn't been really consistent with big gaps in between emails. I let him know this but he refused to just call or text insisted on emails. I wanted to go over a couple things so I asked to have a zoom meeting later in the week. When that day came I had to get towed to a mechanic because my car broke down and in the whole fiasco of dealing with that I accidently missed our zoom meeting I set up. The next time we talked he was really upset by the way he was talking to me I could tell he was mad. He said "you gotta get a lil skin in the game" and "I'm going to need 5000 from you or else I'm dropping your case, I explained I didn't have that much money to give him he answered with " Im sorry you are having money problems ". But "I need 5000 today or I'm dropping your case". He said to pay for the depositions he had done for my case. Thinking I didn't know what that meant, He never took any depositions at all. The next day I told him I just don't have that kind of money right now. Later that week I got a paper for him removing himself from my case due to client lawyer relationship not working out. He knew nobody else would take my case, because of how far along we were already in the case. I called all over trying to get someone else to take my case. Hitting brick wall after brick wall, no one wanted to touch someone else's work they wanted to do it their way. He knew I wouldn't be able to find anyone especially because it was during covid . It was a pretty shady thing to do I eventually lost the case because I didn't know how to answer the mountain of paperwork the employers lawyer was now sending to me. I'm not a lawyer I wasn't prepared to take on the case alone that's why I hired Holzman. I gave him everything he asked for I even helped him find the defendent letting him know where and when to find them. I feel like I was cheated out of winning my case that was pretty solid had he just done the job he promised. I'm pretty sure this falls under the breach of contract I believe we would have won, we had a strong case and they really had no defense. All they could do was lie and attack my character a jury or judge would have seen right away what they were doing. The way my case was handled was so unprofessional and it makes me wonder why me, He has nothing but good reviews here and other sites . Why he was the way he was with me condescending rude would yell at me at times, then lies to get himself removed from my case. Which I ended up losing owing them money for their lawyer fees.

So far I have only had a consultation with Dan. I haven't reached the point in my situation to have to hire him, YET. But I must say Dan is A-MA-ZING! He has made this whole thing less stressful. He has walked me through every possible outcome and made me feel more comfortable in dealing with this. I... have had really bad anxiety but knowing Dan was by my side kept me calm. He is very easy to talk to and its almost like he has been my friend for years, rather than a lawyer I just found online 2 weeks ago. =) Thank you Dan, and I will definitely refer people to you!

Dan was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. I loved his no nonsense approach! He spent time asking me about my situation and advised me on how to move forward. Even though my case is not a "case" he provided me with some great advice on how I should handle my issue. Customer service at its... finest in Dan. If I ever need an employment lawyer Dan will be the first person I call! You won't be sorry calling him.
