In my mind every case is unique. That is because each client is unique and  he or she has  his or her  own mindset which is different than everyone else.  My number one focus at the beginning of each case is to really get to know my client. I have the ability to set aside my lawyer's hat and focus on discovering what does my client really want to achieve and what paths he or she is comfortable in taking to reach those objectives. From that point on I will then focus on studying the adversaries because in my long term experience as an attorney, on many occassions  there are number of personal and individual issues fueling the conflict beyond the facts of the case at hand. Once I know my client and the opposing side's mindset and motives, I can then easily takle the factual and legal issues of each case and can come up with creative and efficient strategies to accomplish my client's goals and objectives.

I love helping clients solve their legal problems.  Clients usually come to me devastated because they've been terminated, harassed or discriminated against.  When the client leaves my office they wish this never happened to them but they are satisfied their voice was heard and they got a great result.  Clients hate to say goodbye to me when the case is over and I feel the same way.  I understand the trust clients place in me and I don't take it for granted.  Don't take my word for it listen to what my clients have had to say in testimonials.. In June 2015 I will have been a lawyer for 22 years.  During my 22 years as a lawyer my clients have received millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements.  Most of my clients are referred by fellow lawyers and a large percentage of my referrals come from my former opponents.  Why is that important?  It's important because my opponents know the kind of lawyer I am.  I don't play games and I am a straight shooter.  Most cases settle.  I believe the statistics are greater than 90%.  So most of the time you need to get along with your opponent if you are going to have success for your client.. Most people would describe me as having a great sense of humor.  I believe humor can help when dealing with devastating issue like being fired or harassed.. For fun I love to golf and spend time with my family.. Hopefully that gives you a little sense of who I am.. If you need legal assistance you will not be in better hands.. All the best.. Dan Holzman
