HONEST & RESPONSIVE
I just want to recommend Richard Hochhauser to anyone in need of legal representation. He was so helpful, he didn’t leave me alone even though he had to wait over 4 hours at the court house with me just to speak to another counselor. He was very honest and responsive. Thank God I found him

GOD BLESS THIS GUY
I have had a revocation driving license for 5 years after l got my license back, l was required to install an ignition key interlock system. l asked different DUI lawyers, l went to the DMV, my probation officer, nobody gave me any answer. I've googled "DUI lawyer" and his number popped up and he got me the answer that nobody could, and he didn’t even charge me. God bless this guy.

Richard explained the matters of my case thoroughly and was professional and effective in dealing with the charges I was facing. Ultimately getting the docket dismissed in its entirety. I would highly recommend procuring his services.
