Talking to Dan is like talking to another lawyer at your firm who has expertise in investigative matters. He’s a great sounding board. You think you want something, and he’ll tell you what you actually want, and that’s invaluable.” Clients tell Chambers that “there’s no one like him in the US.” Dan is also recommended by Who’s Who Legal as a leading expert in asset recovery.
