After he graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, Daniel went on to earn his Juris Doctorate from Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During his time at Marquette, Daniel competed with and coached several moot court teams.
After receiving his Juris Doctorate, Daniel began his career in general practice, helping clients in a variety of areas ranging from business and family law to criminal defense and personal injury in circuit courts and the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. During this time, he also served as a Special Assistant to the Corporate Counsel of Walworth County, Wisconsin, and handled Child/Juvenile in Need of Protection or Services, as well as guardianships, protective placements, chapter 51, and zoning matters.
In 2012, Daniel was elected to the position of District Attorney in Walworth County, Wisconsin. At the time, he was the youngest District Attorney in Wisconsin history, and he represented the State of Wisconsin and acquired justice for hundreds of victims and their families.
During his time as District Attorney, Daniel also sat on the executive board for the Walworth County Children’s Advocacy Center, the Sensitive Crimes Response Team, and several other multidisciplinary teams. Daniels dedication to his cases and his community led him to co-author the Walworth County Sexual Assault Team Protocol and he went on to train law enforcement officers in techniques and best practices for handling sensitive crimes.
His compassion for those who lost loved ones to drug-related crimes inspired Daniel to work closely with the Walworth County Drug Enforcement Unit and the U.S.D.E.A., resulting in a 40% increase in opiate trafficking convictions in just three years.
At the end of his term in office, Daniel and his family moved to Middle Tennessee, where he has since concentrated almost exclusively on representing injured families. During this time, Daniel helped to recover millions for his injured clients in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Wisconsin.
Daniel regularly conducts Self-Defense Law and What to Expect Following a Use of Defensive Force Event presentations throughout Middle Tennessee.
When he’s not in the office, Daniel likes to spend time with his wife and four children. He also serves on the board of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes for Williamson County. He’s an avid outdoorsman and an aspiring strength athlete.
