Representative Work

Trial and Appellate Services

Early involvement in a case by appellate counsel can dramatically improve a case’s chances on appeal.

• Served as co-counsel in a complex medical malpractice action. Danny was hired to handle a complicated privilege dispute, dispositive briefing, and trial assistance. The case was settled favorably prior to trial.
