Dan  graduated from Lewis and Clark  Law School in Portland, OR in 1984 and began his career in law  at the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Dan  was a Deputy Prosecutor for 4 years, prosecuting homicides, burglaries, robberies, rapes, DUI, and other offenses. He received extensive training and experience in technical accident reconstruction, and tried many vehicular homicide cases.  After going into private practice in 1988, he was appointed  as special deputy prosecutor  to handle the appeal  for the State of Washington, on one homicide  case he had tried.  The inmate's exceptional sentence was affirmed.

In 1988 Dan went to work  for State Farm Insurance, and tried or arbitrated dozens of cases as an insurance company attorney.  He  knows how the system works, and knows how their lawyers work.
