Daniel’s practice focuses on complex regulatory litigation, with an emphasis on privacy, wiretapping, and lead generation matters. He represents consumer finance, marketing and technology companies in class actions, arbitrations, and government investigations alleging violations of the TCPA, TSR, CIPA, VPPA, ADA, and other consumer protection statutes.

As a child, Daniel was known for spirited disagreements with his mother, who eventually suggested he consider becoming a lawyer. What began as humor gradually evolved into purpose. While in college, he interned with the Alameda County Public Defender’s Office, gaining early exposure to advocacy and courtroom dynamics. He was later drawn to financial services litigation because of the breadth and impact of the statutory frameworks governing consumer credit, data use, and compliance—areas where legal precision and strategic judgment are critical to positive business outcomes.

Day to day, Daniel emphasizes accountability, organization, and responsiveness. Known for being calm and even-keeled, Daniel approaches advocacy without ego or unnecessary emotion, focusing instead on clarity, preparation, and efficiency.

He believes careful analysis, professional credibility, and thoughtful engagement are key to achieving favorable results; that meaningful progress (in life and in law) requires patience, discipline, and long-term thinking, rather than shortcuts.

As he often puts it, “roads were made for journeys, not destinations.”
