Dan Holzman and tom Dorogi Rock

It has been a tumultuous two years needless to say. Dan Holzman and Tom Dorigi and the rest of the team endured this journey with me.I can honestly say if I ever and I hope never again to do this I would not do it without them. 100% their integrity ,honesty and compassion and extremely tedious work... they will have your Best interest in heart.

No need to look any further.

I must say, working with Dan Holzman was nothing shy of an amazing experience. I never thought in a million years that I would be in the sort of predicament that would cause me to seek legal representation; but to be perfectly honest, I am glad that I had the pleasure of having Dan in my corner. He... was respectfully honest from the beginning to the end. Holzman remained quite communicative throughout the entire process. I knew I could reach him with any of my questions and he would always find the time to answer them quite promptly whether it was through email or a phone call. Holzman made me feel comfortable and constantly reassured me about why I was seeking legal help when I doubted the outcome or worried about certain contingencies. He doesn't sell false hopes, or guarantee any sort of unrealistic ending, and that is something I found truly honorable about him. I had no qualms about what he was capable of after our first meeting. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else in my corner helping through this. I understood completely that not all results were typical, and that sometimes you win some and you lose some. But Holzman remained a hundred percent confident for both of us and his confidence payed off in the end result. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but Dan Holzman, if you are looking for someone who is genuinely going to seek the best for you, he is definitely the attorney you'd like to go with.

I recommend everyone to Daniel Holzman

Working with Daniel Holzman has been a blessing in disguise. When I first started my case I did not know who to turn or What was going to happen. Luckily I was reffered by a friend to Daniel And things took off from there. Never have I been left with questions I felt We're not answered or did I ...ever feel like I wasnt in the right hands Daniel always made me feel secure and confident throughout my case. Everything was always taken care of, up to date and always a quick response to Anything I felt needed to be answered. I'm happy to have chosen him to represent me for My case. Although the situation to begin with was a headache, Daniel made Smile through it. Very smart, witty & representable man. Thank you Caskey & Holzman. I refer friends, family & everyone to them! :)

Exceeded Expectations

I had the pleasure of working with Dan Holzman, who was easily accessible and very helpful from beginning to end. Dan's experience and skill as a negotiator was evident throughout the mediation. Just about everything he predicted before and during the mediation actually happened, including where we w...ould end up and how long it would take to get there. Admittedly, it seemed Dan was pushing too hard at times, but I am glad I let the expert do his job because he exceeded my goals and expectations. In hindsight, it became apparent Dan knew exactly what each push would achieve. It can be intimidating taking on a former employer because of their seemingly unlimited resources; however, the odds are on your side if Dan Holzman is representing you.

Awesome experience, and fantastic person to work with!!

First, let me say that I would definitely recommend Dan to my friends, family and others. My particular case involved an evaluation and guidance around the non-solicitation / non-compete clauses in the employee agreement which would be brought to arbitration under California jurisdiction. I reside ...in the South, so locating a trustworthy and solid attorney with experience in California employment law was not easy to do remotely. Dan came recommended, and provided excellent help. I contacted Dan, and left a description of my case on his website, and he returned my call the same day. Dan first discussed my situation, and in 30 minutes exuded a level of confidence and knowledge that he was able to talk me down out of my self-induced anxiety of the situation. Within a day, Dan and his partners reviewed my documentation together and consulted back with me to provide the guidance I needed to move forward confidently with my previous employer. Dealing with situations where an individual needs to seek legal support is always stressful and difficult, and I'm sure glad there are lawyers like Dan around to support us!!

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."
