Danny was born and raised in Chattanooga, TN before attending the University of Memphis for his undergraduate education.  After graduation, Danny worked for Youth Villages in Memphis before attending law school at the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, FL.  During school, Danny focused his studies on courtroom skills and interned for a very prestigious Family Law firm in Miami.  Danny has been practicing law for over 8 years in two of the very best trial firms in the state of Tennessee.    During this time, Danny has handled numerous general litigation matters and specialized specifically in domestic work: divorce, child custody and child support.. Whether representing an injured party in a complex jury trial or counseling a client through a difficult divorce, Danny prides himself in the ideals of integrity and an unwavering focus on his client’s interests.  Danny believes that each client and each case, deserves personal attention.  Each case calls for a unique strategy tailored to the individual client.   For a client that has been injured by the negligence of someone else, an aggressive strategy may be in the client’s best interest; demanding settlement from the insurance company and pressuring the opposing party in order to get a fair settlement.  On the other hand, a divorcing client may need a more collaborative approach with the opposing side so as to minimize the emotional and financial toll of a divorce on the client’s family.  Regardless of what kind of legal issues presented to you, you can rest assured that you will get the very best legal advice in order to protect your rights.. Danny’s clients also rest assured that if no reasonable settlement can be reached, your case is in the hands of a knowledgeable, skilled and experienced trial attorney.    Sometimes a client is given no choice but to seek their day in court if the opposing party cannot or will not accept reasonable settlement terms.  In this instance, your case must be presented to a judge or a jury to decide, and this is when it becomes invaluable to have a seasoned trial attorney in your corner.  Having an attorney who is not scared to try your case in court not only assures that you will get a good result at trial, but it makes your case more likely to reach a reasonable settlement before that point as well.. If you find yourself in need of an attorney that can both work with the other side when the situation calls and advocate for your rights in court if settlement fails, contact Danny Parish and the firm of Wolff Ardis, P.C.
