Daniel focuses his legal practice on civil litigation matters including personal injury and wrongful death claims. He defends clients in premises liability cases and homeowner’s association disputes and handles housing and habitability matters, including real estate and title claims. He has additional experience representing clients in general business litigation and contract disputes, and defending municipalities, cities and school districts.

Throughout his legal career, Daniel has represented both defendants and plaintiffs and takes pride in seeing the “big picture” when litigating each case. His extensive experience includes drafting and arguing motions for summary judgment, discovery motions and evidentiary motions, and he has consistently obtained favorable results for clients in both jury and bench trials.
