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.

A winning law firm!
I had the privilege of working with the incredible team at Canan Lawn and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with their exceptional service.

Nice, Professional and Hardworking
No one likes to have to hire an attorney especially if you have been wrongly accused. But, Daniel was very easy to talk to,,he listened to my concerns and my side of the story, was not judgmental, and did everything he could, to get me justice! Thank you Daniel and the entire Canaan Law Staff!!

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...
Contrary 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.

"Mr. Hilbert is extremely ethical attorney who is always quick to respond. I have been opposing counsel with him on criminal case and civil cases."
"I have been opposing counsel on numerous cases with Dan. He is always very professional and thorough."
"Dan is a bright and talented trial lawyer. Don’t be surprised if you see him wearing a robe in the future."
"I've known Dan for almost a decade. He is an exceptional lawyer that excels in tackling even the most troubling cases. There are few attorneys in the community with his abilities."
"Dan Hilbert is an exceptional attorney. It's seldom you find a young attorney that practices like a seasoned veteran, but you get just that in Dan Hilbert. I would recommend him to any client, family or friend in need of an advocate."
