Dan earned his Juris Doctor “with distinction” from San Joaquin College of Law. His first attorney job was defending Employers, Third-Party Administrators, and Insurance companies in workers compensation claims. Dan knows first-hand how unfairly some employers, claims adjusters, and defense attorneys treat injured workers. Dan actually hated that job, feeling it was wrong to cheat people out of benefits rather than helping them. For several years now, Dan has zealously represented injured workers, he does not represent any employers, he is a proud member of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, and is recognized as a Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law by the California Board of Legal Specialization.. For any injury requiring more than one or two doctor visits with a full recovery, you should talk to an attorney. Do not select a QME or request a Panel without the assistance of an attorney.
