About Daniel
Biography
I firmly believe that a criminal defense attorney doesn't have to choose between being compassionate and being a vigilant & effective advocate. I prefer not to leave any stones unturned and am not concerned with questioning the status quo. The job in any given case that needs to be done is the job that will get done.
Providing compassionate, thorough representation to clients charged with crimes in Washington.
