Daniel K. Dinneen
Abogado
Daniel asistió a la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Texas en 2004. Mientras estuvo allí, compitió a nivel nacional e internacional tanto en tribunales simulados como en juicios simulados, ganando varios premios en el camino. También recibió dos becas presidenciales diferentes basadas en el mérito, fue editor asociado de The Review of Litigation y miembro de la Junta de Abogados. En 2007, se graduó con honores y se mudó a Houston para comenzar su práctica.
Initially, Daniel went to work for one of Houston’s largest defense firms where he gained invaluable insight into the mentality of defense lawyers, insurance companies, and the large corporations that have been sued for alleged bad acts. While there, Daniel successfully defended cases of many different types, including: breach of contract; negligence; wrongful death; fraud; bad faith; premises liability; civil RICO; trade secret misappropriation; Deceptive Trade Practices Act; Jones Act; and more. But after three years of defending against such claims, Daniel decided that it was time to represent the people who were harmed by such acts.
Consequently, Daniel left the world of defense to pursue a career as a plaintiff’s attorney with Jim Adler & Associates. Serving as one of only two trial lawyers in Adler’s Houston office, Daniel successfully obtained multiple judgments and settlements in favor of individuals who had been harmed by other people’s negligence. Never afraid to take a case all the way through trial, Daniel has great confidence in the ability of a well-informed jury to make a just decision.
Drawing on his past experiences from both sides of the aisle, Daniel founded The Dinneen Law Firm in order to help those who cannot help themselves. He then co-founded McLaurin | Dinneen to pursue the same thing.
