The above two verdicts — $50 million for dental malpractice and $30 million for medical malpractice — are both in the Top 10 of all-time Georgia malpractice verdicts.
Daniel has also led appeals before the Georgia Court of Appeals and Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, including the reversal of a pro bono plaintiff’s police-brutality claims that had been dismissed by a federal judge.

He graduated from the University of Notre Dame, with honors, and from one of the top law schools in the country, the University of Texas.
