Dan received a Juris Doctorate from the University of Akron with a certificate of litigation. After receiving his degree, Dan gained experience working as Special Counsel to the Ohio Attorney General’s office representing the Ohio Department of Medicaid on various subrogation and estate recovery matters. This experience has given him a unique perspective which helps him to effectively litigate his client’s claims.

“I set out to practice law with one goal: to help level the playing field for people going up against insurance companies, corporations, and other powerful defendants. I understand how overwhelming the legal process can feel, and make it a priority to guide clients with compassion, clear communication, and strong advocacy. The ability to practice law comes with the responsibility to help others and I am blessed to be able to do so every single day”
