Daniel has tried multiple cases to verdict in federal and state courts.
Daniel litigates complex matters for individuals and businesses involving restrictive clauses in employment contracts, trade secrets, and non-competition and confidentiality agreements, as well as violations of the Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Daniel handles employee defection and recruitment cases in a variety of industries. These cases routinely require emergency injunctive relief in either federal or state court and subsequent damages claims.
