My Why
What powers my practice
Before law school, I spent six years working in Wisconsin state politics, specializing in workforce development and taxation policy. What I enjoyed most was working with constituents and small businesses to drive policy changes that benefited local communities, which ultimately inspired me to pursue law as a way to serve people and businesses more directly. At Michael Best, I find fulfillment in translating complex legal requirements into clear, practical guidance that helps clients stay compliant while focusing on their business goals. Whether advising clients, supporting colleagues, or volunteering through pro bono programs, I strive to be solution-oriented, responsive, and a steady resource for those I serve.
Overview
Danny has a strong foundation in both public sector law and legislative policy. His practice centers on workplace issues, where he advises clients on matters involving collective bargaining, employment discrimination, and regulatory compliance.
Before entering private practice, he interned for the National Labor Relations Board’s Milwaukee Field Office, where he reviewed unfair labor practices charges and oversaw union certification elections. Earlier, he clerked for a municipal legal office, where he reviewed grievances, drafted ordinance-related memoranda, and updated collective bargaining agreements following negotiations. During law school, he also clerked for a firm focused on employment law, assisting with employment discrimination claims ranging from Title VII discrimination lawsuits to FMLA and ADA claims.
Danny’s legal career builds on a robust background in public service. As chief of staff to a former state representative, he drafted legislation on workforce and taxation issues, staffed multiple committees, and oversaw office operations. Prior to that, he served as a legislative aide to a former Wisconsin state senator, where he managed communications and legislative casework, particularly in areas related to labor and economic policy.
