Attorney Hochhauser is an outstanding attorney—professional, direct, empathetic, and highly effective. No matter how complicated your case may seem, he takes the time to explain the process clearly and works toward the best possible outcome. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I could have made. My case moved forward quickly and exactly according to the plan he outlined from the beginning. His experience, responsiveness, and dedication gave me confidence throughout the entire process. I highly recommend his law office to anyone in need of strong legal representation. Thank you, Attorney Hochhauser, for your hard work and excellent results.

The best lawyer. Friendly, knowledgeable of the laws, great communication, honest, and straight forward. Richard was very empathetic and the assuring, letting me know this would be a process i would get through and this made it easier for me. Richard was always available in accompanying me to all court dates and had great relationships with the courts. I would refer Richard to everyone who is in search of good legal advice and representation. Thanks again for all your help and support.

Simply the best! After another lawyer was unable to get me the resolution I desperately needed for my case and career, Rich was able to get it done. And even saved me over $10,000 in fees! He is fast, efficient, explains the process and knows his stuff inside and out. If you need an experienced lawyer who fights fervently for his clients, Rich is your guy!

I had five charges against my License with several points going to be added with a guilty plea. I did some research and decided to go with Richard Hochhauser’s firm. From my experience it would be a mistake for anyone needing an attorney to go with anyone else. He got me an extension from original court date, stayed in constant communication, gave me the time of his arrival for the day of so I was not waiting in the courtroom all day. Within 10 min of his arrival, I was called and had all 5 of my charges dismissed. An absolute perfect outcome. Thank you Richard.

Mr.Richard did an outstanding job handling my case. He was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Thanks to his hard work, he was able to get my misdemeanor reduced to a minor traffic offense. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.
