Originally from Cobb County, Georgia, I returned by way of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to the Atlanta area after graduating from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University in 2006.  In law school, I focused on sharpening the litigation and negotiation skills that I rely on today in my practice on a day to day basis.  Prior to law school, I graduated with honors from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance.. In law practice, I have earned experience defending large insurance insurers and self-insureds, but have also successfully prosecuted injury claims on behalf of clients. With this valuable experience, I strive to give personal attention to each case and provide high quality legal services, whether I represent the plaintiff or the defendant.. My practice offers the personal attention, efficient representation and experienced decision-making needed to maximize recovery for my clients or otherwise defend their interests in a professional yet aggressive manner. My law practice is devoted to guiding injured workers and accident victims through the claims process and achieving excellent results. I operate a solo practice based on relationships and referrals rather than volume and advertising. This allows me to provide the personal attention needed to protect the rights of those suffering from disabling injuries and maximize recovery in an aggressive yet professional manner.  I understand that my clients need advice, guidance and advocacy after they have been involved in a work accident or car crash. I use technology to increase efficiency, saving my clients time while maximizing recovery whether by negotiating a cash settlement in a car accident claim or by securing an injured worker the maximum benefits allowed by law. My extensive knowledge and past experience representing insurance companies gives me the advantage at the negotiating table and in the courtroom.. Practice Focus:. Representation of Injured Workers: Handling and prosecutionof workers’ compensation insurance claims including catastrophic, orthopedic and neurological injuries arising in the course of and in the scope of employment. Obtaining state law benefits due after disabling spinal injuries, upper and lower extremity trauma, head injuries, occupational disease and tissue burns..

I am third generation lawyer who helps individuals and couples protect their loved ones and build a legacy through the creation of comprehensive estate plans, including the preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advanced healthcare directives, and related documents.. For those who've recently lost a loved one, I also assist with the probate process.. For a select number of clients, I also handle fiduciary litigation matters, including business partnership and trust disputes, and act as local counsel for both large and medium sized companies.. I founded my own law firm after eight years at one of the largest firms in the world to provide high quality legal services on a more personal scale.. I am admitted to, and have litigated in, every level of state court in Georgia, as well as all federal district courts in Georgia, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.

I am a fiduciary litigator with a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School as well as both accounting and finance degrees, summa cum laude, from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School.

My firm handles potential breaches of fiduciary duties and disputes in probate matters, estates, wills, trusts, guardianships, businesses, and partnerships. To my clients, I am a counselor in every sense of the word. I guide people in making both legal and practical decisions in times of enormous emotional stress, while at the same time helping them gain perspective on what matters and what is oftentimes distraction or noise. I publish and lecture frequently in the area of fiduciary disputes and particularly on the resolution and avoidance of those disputes, and have been interviewed frequently by national publications, including the New York Times, Fortune Magazine, Time Magazine, and U.S. News and World Report. I have also appeared numerous times on CNN and several local media outlets as an expert commentator on high-profile estate and trust disputes in the news. For more information, please email or call.

Admitted to practice law in Georgia since 1994, Daniel D. Munster has invested more than twenty-five years assisting Georgians with various Eldercare, Special Needs, and traditional Estate Planning matters. While his main office is located in Atlanta, Georgia, the firm provides representation to clients across the state without regard to geographic location. When distance presents a challenge, meeting at a satellite office or via video conference is possible.. The opportunity to care for an aging or disabled loved one can be an incredible blessing, yet can also present a minefield fraught with pitfalls for those lacking a comprehensive estate / long-term care plan consisting of the ideal asset structure and legal documents (Wills, Trusts, General Powers of Attorney and/or Medical Directives). Whether the client is adapting their estate in crisis mode because nursing home care is needed in real time or implementing a plan preemptively, Mr. Munster’s goal is always to provide effective and easily understood advice leading to the client’s objective. While the firm offers assistance with traditional estate planning matters, many of Mr. Munster's cases involve long-term care planning and asset protection via nursing home Medicaid and/or VA long-term care benefits.. Mr. Munster's ethical and compassionate approach to the practice of law has earned favorable recognition within the legal community. For example, Martindale-Hubbell has awarded Mr. Munster its highest peer review rating (AV Preeminent) every year since 2005. Atlanta Magazine has named him a SuperLawyer® each year since 2007. Best Lawyers in America® has included Mr. Munster in its rankings (Elder Law / Trusts & Estates) in 2019 and 2020. Finally, U.S. News & World Report ranked Mr. Munster’s law firm among Georgia’s “Tier 1 – Best Law Firms” in the recently released 10th Edition (2020) of their prestigious annual rankings.
