About Daniel

For over 35 years, Daniel J. Siegel and his team have been strong and unwavering advocates for their clients throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, mainly in Philadelphia, Delaware County, Montgomery County and Chester County. We zealously represent individuals and families in workers’ compensation, personal injury and Social Security disability claims as well as offer estate planning and real estate guidance. Dan's appeals court victories have helped more injured persons than any firm in Pennsylvania and he has been widely recognized for these accomplishments. He is ranked by Best Lawyers and Pennsylvania Super Lawyers for his expertise in workers’ compensation and has been named The Philadelphia Business Journal’s Best of the Bar and Delaware County Daily Times’s Best Personal Injury Firm in Delaware County.

Other attorneys, including many Super Lawyers and many of the firms you see on TV or along I-95, regularly seek Dan’s legal advice. Lawyers hire our firm to assist them with ethics and disciplinary guidance, legal writing, strategy for complex litigation, and to handle their appeals at all levels of state court, federal district court and the Third Circuit. As an active member of the American, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Bar Associations, and the American, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Associations, Dan frequently advises other lawyers on various topics related to workers’ compensation, appeals, litigation, ethics, legal technology, and attorney workflow management.​
