Daniel Clifton Plyler

Daniel has defended my state agency and its employees in a large number of cases. He represents the best qualities of a hard-nosed defense lawyer. His superior legal knowledge and research has obtained summary judgment and other favorable rulings in cases where I never thought we would prevail. In... discovery, I say without qualification that he takes and defends depositions better than any attorney that I have had the pleasure to work with. As a case in point, he recently deposed an opposing expert witness for twelve hours because the expert was purposefully trying to be evasive in answering questions. This witness is a polished expert who is used to being able to lead opposing counsel around by the nose and avoiding giving any answer that would hurt his side of the case. Daniel is better than any other attorney I have watched at boxing in an expert and not allowing them to get around an issue with generalities. He has tried several cases for us and has obtained a good result in every one. He has the ability to completely eviscerate opposing witnesses without turning off the jury. Daniel has always kept me fully informed of all important developments in cases where he represents us. I have never had to call him for an update, as he has always been proactive in contacting me first. In short, when my agency is sued and we need the most knowledgeable and tenacious defense counsel in our arsenal, Daniel is one of my top choices.
