  • Same Client
  • Different Client, Same Side of Case

Daniel has asked me on several occasions to step into a matter where he is conflicted out, or where there is a need for my particular area of expertise. Similarly, he is often my first choice when I need to have a litigator involved in one of my cases.

The last major case on which we collaborated was in, approximately, July through October 2018. The last consultation was in March, 2020, when we discussed practice models during the pandemic.
Q. Was this lawyer an effective advocate/counselor and why?
Yes

Daniel is knowledgeable on the law and has good instincts. His people skills are also outstanding and I can be comfortable referring "fragile" clients to him, knowing that he will give them the correct advice in a firm but compassionate manner.

Q. Please rate this lawyer on the following:

Legal Knowledge: Excellent

Daniel keeps up on current legal events and is instrumental in helping to plan our local Bench Bar conference which helps all of us maintain our knowledge base.

Daniel has always provided me with a sounding board for legal theories that I am ready to try, but that may be unproven. His input is invaluable.

I trust Daniel to do the proper thing when called on to make an ethical decision. He is a fine example of an attorney that adheres to the Texas Lawyer's Creed in his dealings with clients and other attorneys.
