Daniel has a broad litigation practice, specializing in white-collar criminal investigations and defense. Most recently, he participated in the successful trial defense of a former division president in United States v. W.R. Grace, et al., an extensive, multi-defendant prosecution that the government termed one of the most significant indictments for environmental crime in the nation’s history. After successfully demonstrating that much of the government’s evidence was irrelevant to the charges against the client, the government elected at the close of its case to dismiss the indictment against the client with prejudice. Daniel has represented numerous other clients in connection with issues of potential criminal liability under various federal statutes and regulations. Daniel also has participated in the successful representation of clients before the United States Court of Federal Claims and in other civil litigation matters and is a member of the firm’s insurance practice group.
