Daniel holds a Bachelor in Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and a law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center. Following law school, Daniel worked as a litigator in New York City and Austin. He has long been interested in issues of immigration and civil rights and has maintained an active pro bono immigration practice throughout his career. This work was recognized by New York’s Sanctuary for Families organization, which twice awarded Daniel its Above & Beyond Award for Excellence in Pro Bono Advocacy. Daniel joined WDP’s Board of Directors because he believes the fair treatment of low-wage workers, documented and undocumented, is a fundamental civil rights issue.
