Helped with disability issue

Daniel has been so helpful in keeping me at my really great job. He has carefully and patiently explained why I will not get fired for the disability that I've had for 3 years, even though I am absolutely sure that I am out the door. He is absolutely brilliant and wonderful and I can't say enough.

Dan, such a life saver

So this is written by someone who does have an attorney and since the stakes are so high feels he still needs to bring a lot more legal and technical muscles to the case. I didn't hire Dan, he never saw me nor did he charge me a dime but he went above and beyond to save me around $1M in my case while... I was just a random voice on the phone. I am extremely impressed by Dan's attitude and at the same time appalled by how misleading my own lawyer's recommendations turned out to be. While I am finding it difficult to call this "free consultation"; Dan Holzman's "free remote work" on my case saved me a lot of money and on top of that a successful senior level career of 20 years. If you're looking for someone who sees beyond his short-term financial interests with a ton of knowledge AND able to explain it to a non-legal expert then Dan has to be your #1 choice.

Caskey & Holzman~ "Life Changers"

Caskey & Holzman services where do I begin? I will do my best to give a written review although words could never express my gratefulness and satisfaction. Caskey & Holzman is more than just a attorney firm they are life changers. From the first time I called Dan and left a message his services have ...been stellar. Dan called me back immediately on same day, he was genuine and took the time to really listen to my story. He offered me an invitation for an in-person consultation at zero cost. The the moment I stepped into the offices of Caskey & Holzman I knew I was in good hands. The staff was so friendly, caring, and accommodating. Dan went over every detail of my circumstances, and genuinely took the time to get to know me. He wanted to be sure he could help me, and if he couldn't he wasn't going to waste my time with false information and false hopes. After going over the facts and details surrounding my situation we both agreed to work together. The experience of working with Dan and team far exceeded my expectations. Every step of the process was made simple, easy, and in my best interest. They were my gladiators going to battle for me, and allowing me to spectate. They took care of everything. I was not stressed, and weighed down with worry at all. In the midst of a very stressful situation I was completely at peace. All processes and details were handled for me. Dan as I call him is my "Sweet Lion" kind and gentle with my needs and when and if needed to protect me he would be relentless to whomever tried to harm me/case. Dan and team went to battle with and for me. I will be forever in their debt for the services they provided. Dan and team customer service was white glove, five star, and honest. The creme dela creme of attorney firms. I am so blessed and so happy that I picked up the phone a called Caskey & Holzman. My life will never be the same and I am better for knowing them. "Life Changers" is how I will forever reference Caskey & Holzman attorney firm. They have completely changed my life for the better. I would recommend Caskey & Holzman to anyone I know and to those I don't know rather dealing with employer related issues or not I am referring everyone to Caskey & Holzman for ALL legal matters. I am that confident in their services and based on my experience I am certain that even if for some strange reason someone's case doesn't fall within their area of expertise they will get that person the right referral. They are the "Good Doers" when no one is watching they do the right thing. You can definitely count on that. They will be quickly responsive to your every request/need, dedicated to your case, shoot it to you straight, and always work in your best interest. Caskey & Holzman~ "Life Changers"

Amazing Experience

I met with Caskey & Holtzman in 2012. I presented my case to them and they decided to take it on. My case was regarding discrimination, harassment and retaliation. The attorneys at Caskey & Holtzman were able to resolve my case in a timely manner and they helped me to put this horrible experience ...behind me. They were all professional, kind and sensitive to my needs. When I had questions they were quick to respond to my e-mails and/or phone calls. I am very thankful to have met and worked with them. Thank you to the team at Caskey & Holtzman for being passionate about my case and for helping me to move on with my life. I am forever I n your debt.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I emphatically endorse Dan Holzman. I first met Dan as an opposing counsel on a wrongful termination case. Dan was at all times professional and honest, but at the same time a staunch advocate for his client. I came to respect Dan for his ethical and reasoned approach to the case we opposed each other on. I have had occasion over the last 10 years since meeting Dan to refer potential clients to him several times. In every instance Dan was straight forward with the clients and with me about the case's merit. I have also sought out Dan's advice for my own client's cases and he has always taken the time to listen and offer his take or advice on the case. I wouldn't hesitate to call Dan as the first lawyer on my list."
