This experience gives him a unique perspective on the practical and business challenges that employment issues create for employers.
An experienced litigator, Daniel regularly defends employers in state and federal courts, as well as before administrative agencies such as the EEOC, the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, and numerous other state anti-discrimination agencies nationwide.
