A natural presenter with a self-described extroverted streak, Daniel charted his own course early on. Trial law wasn’t just appealing — it felt inevitable.
Before launching his own practice, Schneiderman Trial Attorneys, Daniel built his legal foundation in the District Attorney’s Office, gaining valuable trial experience while realizing the limits of a structured hierarchy. He knew he wanted something different. Something more personal. Today, Daniel leads a focused, client-first personal injury firm known for its high-touch, low-volume approach. His guiding philosophy: quality over quantity, people over process.
Daniel doesn’t measure success by case counts or ad impressions. Instead, he centers his work on deep relationships, often standing beside his clients from hospital bedside through litigation and into recovery. He credits his trial instincts and values in part to early mentors and defining experiences — none more impactful than a catastrophic injury case against Caltrans, where he witnessed firsthand how a seasoned trial lawyer balanced courtroom momentum with client-centered decision-making.
Daniel’s practice has been deliberately built for resilience and impact. Through authenticity, transparency, and a strong digital presence, he’s cultivated a thriving referral network and a reputation for principled, tenacious representation. For him, trial work isn’t about showmanship or ego. It’s about service. And the trust that gets built, case by case.
