About Daniel
Biography
I've been a personal injury lawyer since 1984. I handle cases in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I represent only individuals who have been seriously injured in accidents caused by the carelessness of others. I've been blessed with tremendous success in my practice. The key to this success has been the fact that I put the interests and needs of my clients before my own ego. I've developed a large population of former clients with whom I stay in regular contact through monthly mailings and other contacts. Please visit my website at www.thepanjinjurylawyers.com to hear what several of my former clients have to say.
I'm married and have two young children. I'm very active coaching their sports teams. I serve as the President of the Whitpain Recreation Association and as the Athletic Director of the Saint Helena School in Blue Bell, PA.
I am an active triathlete. I've completed over 100 triathlons, including multiple ironman distance races. I serve on the Legal Committee of USA Triathlon. I also enjoy fishing with my son and playing guitar, mandolin and banjo with my band, the Country Westernaires.
