What Our Clients Are Saying

Honestly, he is the greatest attorney I have ever known. What makes him so marvelous is his ability to take multiple points of view. In addition to being an attorney, he has run businesses and venture capital firms. When he gives advice, it is based on his experience in all of these domains. He always has the law in mind, but he is also always thinking about what is best for the business. In this way, he gives advice that we can actually use. Daniel is a practical realist with deep experience, and that’s what makes him so valuable.
