After two years assisting and regulating various industries, Daniel applies his prior experience as a wastewater pretreatment coordinator to address clients’ environmental, real estate, and other regulatory issues.
With a background that spans environmental compliance, occupational health and safety, agricultural investments, and real estate transactions, Daniel helps clients navigate complex regulatory frameworks—whether that involves proactively building compliant programs, defending against enforcement actions, or providing advice for various transactional work.
Daniel regularly advises clients on a wide range of environmental matters, drawing on his deep familiarity with federal and state regulatory requirements. He assists businesses in understanding and meeting their obligations under environmental statutes and regulations, represents clients before the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other regulatory bodies. He also has experience in permitting, reporting, and compliance inspections.
Daniel’s work has expanded to include occupational health and safety matters. He has assisted clients facing OSHA enforcement actions involving asbestos-containing materials (ACM)— helping clients not only address active enforcement proceedings but also review and develop the operational procedures and protocols necessary to manage ongoing construction, maintenance, and development activities in a compliant manner.
Daniel also counsels clients on matters arising under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA), including the preparation of required disclosures and advising on compliance strategy. When clients face enforcement matters under AFIDA, he draws on his regulatory background to provide practical, results-oriented representation.
Prior to joining the firm, Daniel served as a wastewater pretreatment coordinator at a treatment plant in Sauget, Illinois—an experience that grounded him in the realities of industrial compliance, pretreatment systems, and remediation projects. In that role, he oversaw the facility’s pretreatment program, reviewed pretreatment ordinances to assess their effectiveness, developed substantive comments in response to the EPA’s Dental Amalgam Rules, and participated in training on hazardous waste regulations. That experience continues to inform the practical, operations-aware perspective he brings to client representation today.
