About Daniel
Biography
Born in Saint Louis, Missouri, I moved to Florida in 2003 in order to obtain my law degree from Florida Coastal School of Law. I met my wife in 2006 and wife we eventually settled down in beautiful Saint Augustine, Florida. However, I still stick to my Saint Louis roots and am fanatical about my Saint Louis Cardinals baseball team.
I graduated from Law School in 2006 and immediately joined the ranks as an Assistant State Attorney practicing in both the 7th Judicial Circuit (Counties: Saint Johns, Flagler, Putnam, and Volusia) and the 4th Judicial Circuit (Counties: Duval, Nassau and Clay). As an ASA I have handled over 1000 misdemeanor and felony cases from as low as Driving While License Suspended or Revoked to as high as Attempted Murder. I have tried over 35 Jury Trials and countless Non-Jury Trials and consider myself a polished trial attorney.
As a private attorney representing individuals across northeast Florida, I strive to provide compassionate, assertive and highly intelligent representation. I am currently practicing in the areas of Criminal Defense, Personal Injury/Auto Accident, Family Law, Contract Law and Property Law; and our firm also handles Medical Malpractice, Wills, Trusts, Estates, Probate, and Foreclosures.

Get an out of town lawyer
When the going gets tough, this firm runs and hides. A complete waste of money. All he wanted to do was make a deal with the state attorney that would make the state attorney happy! It seems he valued his friendship with the state attorney more than my needs as a client. If u want to make a deal w...

Replied last February 09, 2018Contrary to the opinion of this Anonymous review, I always put my client’s needs first. I have no clue who this person is or if they are/were a client of mine. Regardless, the idea that I “run and hide” is comical. I earned the title of Board Certified Trial Attorney by actually trying cases in the courtroom, not by making the State happy or hiding in my office.
