Garden City

Daniel Velez focuses his practice on defending high-profile retail and food industry corporations, insurance companies, and landowners in a wide variety of litigation, including slip/trip and fall accidents, construction accidents, assaults, and motor vehicle accidents. Danny represents numerous Fortune 500 clients, handling all aspects of each matter from inception through completion, including conducting and managing depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and trials, and formulating winning defense strategies for large caseloads.

Danny’s prior experience includes representing various clients in criminal matters, including building, fire, and environmental code violations. He draws on experience from inside the insurance industry; before entering private practice, he held a graduate internship with a firm serving as in-house counsel for one of the nation’s largest automobile insurers, drafting summary judgement motions and deposition reports and assisting with various research projects. He also gained valuable behind-the-bench insight into judicial decision-making and oral advocacy through his experience as a judicial intern and mentee to the Honorable Sallie Manzanet-Daniels in the New York State Supreme Court, Bronx County.
