Dan handles cases that often hinge on complex medical, engineering, and scientific subjects, and frequently involve excess exposure. His ability to interpret intricate issues, develop creative strategies, and persuasively present the facts and law in ways that judges and juries understand accounts for the impressive results he consistently delivers for his clients. For example, Dan prevailed on an appeal affirming the dismissal of malpractice and discrimination claims against a licensed psychologist, resulting in a published Michigan Court of Appeals decision that created new legal precedent.  Dan’s reputation for tenacious advocacy and strong work ethic has earned him repeat honors as a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year since 2015.
