About Daniel
Biography
For 19 years, I have represented clients with their divorce and custody cases. Simply put, your case will go in one of two directions:
1. Amicable Resolution
If possible, I will strive to resolve your case amicably. This will keep your legal fees low, expedite the process and reduce your stress. Diligent and no-nonsense, I get things done without wasting your time or financial resources.
2. Contentious Litigation:
Amicable resolutions are not always possible, particularly if the other side is unreasonable. When things get ugly, you need an attorney who will represent your interests aggressively. Experienced and battletested, I will get you the best outcome possible.
Call me anytime so we can discuss your case.

Great Divorce Lawyer
Dan was a great attorney for my divorce. I lived out of state and he handled everything all the way through the final court hearing. All in all, I would recommend him.

Dan did an excellent job of crossing T’s and Dotting I’s. He managed expectations as well as listened to my wishes regarding the divorce. He was prompt with communications and explained everything clearly. He got my divorce done faster than even he expected.
