About Daniel Swanson

Today, substantial settlements and results for clients are often achieved by way of alternative resolution that includes arbitration, mediation and negotiation. I am not only a skilled litigator, but I am very experienced and successful in obtaining substantial awards and settlements by way of negotiation, mediation and arbitration. While most such resolutions are confidential, in employment disputes I regularly obtain settlements and awards for individual clients that are equal to one to three years of his or her annual compensation. Dan Swanson has extensive experience in employment litigation, arbitration, mediation and negotiation. While Dan handles most aspects of employment law, he is considered an authority on the following types of claims: Daniel Swanson was motivated to become a lawyer after observing how the law and courts could affect positive change during the Civil Rights movement. Having held a variety of jobs since he was 12 years old (including a newspaper delivery boy, a grave digger and a corrections officer) Dan appreciates how important a person's job is, not just to them, but also to their family.
