About Daniel
Biography
I grew up in Tacoma and have practiced law in my hometown for over 31 years. I have been a member of the firm of Rush, Hannula, Harkins & Kyler, LLP, since I graduated from University of Washington Law School in 1977. Since that time, I have dedicated my law practice to representing injured persons in Western Washington. I have considerable experience in cases of medical negligence, wrongful death, brain injury, truck accidents, auto accidents, construction site accidents and swimming and diving accidents. I have also been very active in my state and local bar associations.
I attended Woodrow Wilson High School in Tacoma, where I was a member of the swimming and water polo teams and was awarded All American honors in my junior and senior years. I attended the University of Washington on a swimming scholarship from 1970 through 1974, and was awarded All American honors in 1971, 1972, and 1973. From 1969 through 1972, I was ranked in the top 20 in the world in the 200-meter freestyle. I have been married to my wife Margaret, who I met at the University of Washington, for 33 years. We have 3 adult children, Holly, Adam and Ben.

Daniel Lee Hannula's Lawyer Endorsements
"I can endorse Dan Hannula without reservation. Dan has a well-earned reputation as a thoughtful and very capable and professional trial lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Dan is an amazing client advocate. He is a very dedicated and hardworking trial lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in serious personal injury and malpractice cases. I have had the privilege to work with him on a numerous cases over the last 30 years."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Dan since before law school, worked for his firm 30 years ago, and am working with him on a matter currently. All you really need to know about Dan's qualifications is that he is a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers. There are over 2000 lawyers in Pierce County; less than 10 have been elected to the American College. But beyond being an extraordinary trial lawyer, Dan is a fine person in all regards. Despite all of his accomplishments -- including being an All-American swimmer in college -- he is a down-to-earth, unassuming man. You'd never hear about his accomplishments from him."
"I endorse Daniel. He is a talented advocate with outstanding work ethic."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dan is a great lawyer, hard working and gets great results."
