Overview

A commercial litigator and trial lawyer who represents businesses and individuals in complex disputes, Daniel helps clients resolve issues efficiently so they can stay focused on moving their businesses forward. His practice spans a wide range of business litigation, with a primary focus on landlord-tenant and contract disputes.

Daniel advises clients in real estate and healthcare-related matters, including contractual and insurance disputes for hospital systems, and handles general commercial litigation across industries. He leverages the firm’s coast-to-coast platform and scalable resources to guide clients toward effective resolutions in breach of contract, trade secrets, business torts, contract negotiations, compliance, and due diligence matters—applying meticulous preparation at every stage, because he knows that attention to detail can make the difference between winning and losing.  

Although many matters resolve short of trial, Daniel is deeply involved at every stage of litigation—developing strategy, advising clients on risk and options, and guiding them through both defensive and offensive positions with a practical, results-driven approach. He begins by understanding each client’s objectives, then crafts a strategic—and often creative—path to resolution designed to achieve those goals as efficiently as possible.

Known for his client-focused approach, Daniel listens carefully, communicates transparently, and remains highly responsive throughout every engagement. Clients value his candid assessment of risk, liability, and likelihood of success, as well as his commitment to backing every recommendation with a thorough legal and factual analysis. He is trusted for his honesty, sound judgment, and willingness to see matters through to completion to achieve favorable results.

Prior to joining the firm, Daniel served as a judicial law clerk with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Executive Office for Immigration Review in Omaha.
