During the time I worked with Dan, I felt he was on my side. He helped me prepare for hearings and walked me through the process of getting my voice heard (and get reimbursed) when I had been hit by a car while on my bicycle. Dan is compassionate and professional. He understands the big picture and sees to details. I highly recommend Daniel G Heyman.

susan morris handled a number of legal matters for my family. she is smart, knowledgeable and practical. her ability to explain things so they were understandable is important for the average person. i can't think of enough accolades for my recommendation to describe her - she was terrific and a great person to do business with.
