About Daniel
Biography
As an attorney I thrive to help everday people navigate the legal system to solve their problems. These legal issues include divorce, child custody, LGBT discrimination claims, and much more.
My want to help individuals is not only present in my professional life, I have spent years helping others, from my time working in the health field to teaching and mentoring law students to helping my neighbor with gardening and other home chores. This want to help others has led me on the path of service and leadership in the community. As President of The John Marshall Law School Student Bar Association I assisted students daily by advocating for positive change in the school. As the Communications Chair of the LGBT Division at the Hispanic National Bar Association, I have assisted in creating community programming to promote positive actions and fight for the rights of the LGBT community.
I believe that in order to be successful, one must be willing to help others. And in order to be a successful attorney one must have the drive to others. Let me help you with your legal needs.
