Caskey and Holzman is a law firm specializing in employment law. Dan Holzman and Cory Barari were the attorneys representing me in my employment related lawsuit. I knew that I was in good hands from the moment I contacted them. I was able to immediately get through to Dan Holzman who patiently listened to what had happened in my case. He was both empathetic and professional. He carefully evaluated the merits of my case before accepting responsibility. It was clear from his discussion that he knew what he was doing and that I would be well represented due to his and his firm?s specialization in this area of law. I soon got to know everyone at the firm, who are all great people. Cory Barari was the 2nd attorney assigned to my case. Like Dan Holzman, his knowledge of employment law is extensive. He provided his unique perspective on every question. As someone who wants to understand everything in a process as important as this, Dan and Cory?s patience with my questions was wonderful.

After working for my employer for 12 years, I was laid off while on disability due to a broken foot. As a result, I lost my health insurance benefits and profit sharing. At age 50, I never thought this would happen to me. Seeking legal help, my husband found Caskey and Holzman, who were recommended as the best employment law attorneys. I reached out to Dan Holzman, who was a compassionate and attentive lawyer that listened to my case. Dan and Cory Barari provided me with the legal support I needed.

When I first called the law office of Caskey & Holzman I was nervous, I reached out to three other law firms prior and was met with disappointment. The other law firms had screening processes and I never spoke with a lawyer. After a few weeks of going back and forth, I found the conversation to be a waste of my time. I heard of Caskey & Holzman through a colleague. I reached out as a last effort with hopes of success. To my great surprise, I spoke with Mr. Daniel Holzman within 24 hours and discussed my situation. During the first conversation, I felt reassured that I was speaking with someone well-experienced. We discussed my work situation, what protections I had based on the law, what approaches ?we? could take, process, timing, and cost. By this junction, I had weeks of repeating myself and I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. I truly felt that discussing the details once again with Mr. Daniel Holzman, I was making progress and the conversation would fruit a closure. During our second conversation, we discussed the details with more depth, during this conversation he level set my expectations with possible outcomes never deflating the possibility of a good outcome, but putting things into perspective based on the opposing party (?The Company?). He was quick with suggestions and developed a strategy on the second call. He has great communication skills ? honest, direct, knowledgeable, and efficient. He is VERY responsive to emails and phone calls. E-mails are easier and faster (turnaround time 10mins ? 3 hours), phone calls (a couple of hours or the following day). What took me by surprise and very important ? I assumed that my situation was small and that it would be hard for someone to pick up my case. I was wrong! He was compassionate to my situation. I always felt I was in good hands and he would represent me and my position ? honorably, honestly, and with certainty. Worth every investment I made!!

I was referred to Dan by my longtime CPA and could not be happier with the services he provided. Dan guided me thoughtfully through the process and when I was ready to drop the case he encouraged me to stay the course and I ended up receiving a settlement for significantly more than I expected. I highly recommend the law offices of Caskey & Holzman!

I must say, I was honestly a bit nervous in reaching out to an attorney regarding my severance pay after being laid off. I've never done this before, I had no previous experience with matters such as this; I really didn't know what to think. After reading a few reviews in my search on Caskey & Holzman I decided to reach out to them. Good thing I did. Dan Holzman answered my call and couldn't have been more honest, helpful and reassuring. After listening to my concerns and understanding what I wanted, Dan went to work. Dan was honest and straightforward in his analysis of my case. He answered all my questions and reassured me that he would do his utmost in getting a fair compromise in my case. When all was said and done, Dan was able to get me a good amount more in my severance pay than I ever could have on my own. Dan was terrific. If you ever need an Employment Lawyer, I would recommend that you call Dan Holzman. He does what he says he will do. A real good guy.

After working for the same company for many, many years, I had a series of unfortunate events take place at work and I needed to seek legal advice. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to meet and retain Dan Holzman of Caskey & Holzman and he came to my rescue! Dan was so incredible to work with! First of all, he is an incredible listener (which is rare for some attorneys) and explained the entire process. He was very clear on my options. This was the first time I found myself in a legal situation and I was scared and did not know what to do. Dan was very patient. I had so many questions and I didn?t want my reputation in the industry to be tarnished. Dan explained everything to me and was always available to answer my questions in detail. There was never a call that was not promptly returned or an email that was not replied to right away. Dan was always there for me. Dan turned my very bad situation into something very positive. Dan exceeded my expectations in every way. My intention by writing this review is let people know there are attorneys like Dan out there who are truly in the corner of the employees and are willing to help individuals who might be going through a very difficult employment situation. I highly recommend Dan, Cory and their amazing staff for anyone seeking employee legal assistance.

Suzi C. Santa Clarita, CA 5 Stars 2/5/2021 Speaking as an experienced attorney myself, I definitely recommend Dan Holzman for his knowledge, experience and strategic legal style in negotiating severance packages and related legal issues. I found Dan through Yelp!, after interviewing 9 other lawyers, and could tell from our first conversation that he understood that I only wanted to negotiate a better severance package, and was not interested in threatening and prepping for litigation, as that was not going to motivate my former employer to enrich my severance. I was immediately impressed with Dan's savvy negotiating strategy and style, which I could not have pulled off myself, and I really appreciated that, because he is always classy and controlled, I never had to worry about him saying anything in negotiations that might work against my goal. He was also great at keeping me informed of what was happening, and agreeing on next moves at each decision point in the process, which is a huge issue for me. Finally, he was great at keeping the focus on the critical economic issues in the negotiation when I would get distracted by emotionally charged aspects. Overall, I'm very glad I engaged Dan for this work: he brought talent and experience that achieved the best result for me that I believe was possible. And, fyi, for other attorneys who may be considering hiring counsel vs. trying to negotiate your own severance package: I have many years of complex contract negotiating experience and I could not have done a good job negotiating my own severance deal due to the emotional aspects of separating from my long-time employer. Hiring Dan to negotiate for me was worth every penny, for the result he achieved, and for relieving me of the stress of having to negotiate with lawyers that had been my coworkers.

Daniel Holzman handled my recent employment matter with absolute professionalism and respect. Working with him felt like I had someone on my side the whole way and resulted in a great outcome. He was responsive to my questions, provided prompt updates as needed, and generally worked to make me feel confident throughout the process. Highly recommended ? give him a call!

Dan responded to my initial email request within 12 hours even thought it was a weekend. He also followed up multiple times via phone/email to answer my questions thoroughly with his expertise which was greatly appreciated

Dan Holzman helped me through my somewhat complicated and very stressful case every step of the way. He came up with a strategy that resulted in an outcome I could be proud of; he held my hand through the process, providing me with just the right balance of guidance, humor, compassion and professionalism. Dan made me feel like I was a priority, never failing to respond to my questions or concerns almost immediately - even on a weekend or evening. I feel so blessed to have found him and would recommend his services, hands down, to anyone who needs assistance with their employment issues.

I hired Caskey and Holzman Attorney at Law, based on a recommendation from my father-in law, a prominent architect in Los Angeles. Daniel Holzman represented me in my severance agreement negotiations and we looked at the possibility of a wrongful termination suit. I was ?fired? from a position where my former company did not want to continue to pay my high salary or past commissions owed. This was a very stressful time for my family and I as we had to sell our house and relocate to a new state. Finding the right Lawyer, proved a huge relief for myself and my wife as Dan was very easy to work with and has an approachable personality. He always provided clear options and we were able to negotiate a very fair severance agreement with highly unreasonable employers. Dan even followed up monthly to ensure payments were paid and that they stuck to the terms of our contract. In the end, I would highly recommend Dan and his associates as a very straightforward, honest and approachable team to work with, especially since most times when you are in need of a Lawyer it can be stressful, but that stress will be mitigated greatly by his professionalism and candor. Thank you Dan!

I met with Dan Holzman, who reviewed an agreement. Not only was he well prepared to cover the agreement with me, provided very clear explanations and answered all of my questions, he also asked me great questions to find out about the circumstances and my needs. The result was just what I needed. I recommend Dan to anyone with questions and/or issues in employment law.

Mr. Holtzman was Extremely professional and very very helpful to my case

Caskey & Holzman, YOU. ARE. AMAZING! Dan, Cory, and Kenya give you their heart and soul from the moment you contact them. EVERY TIME I called or emailed I had a response within the hour. The communication is something to be applauded. Dealing with Dan directly you can appreciate his level of HONESTY and INTEGRITY. Their knowledge of the law and your personal rights are spot on. Their advice and business practice are at a level that I have never seen. When it came time to deliver Dan was not only sharp but respectable. They taught me that standing up for yourself can be done the right way, with integrity, and I left with my head held high.
