More about Daniel 

Daniel enjoys hearing each client’s story and making sure they feel heard.  Understanding a client and helping them navigate through a claim with an insurance company is not for every lawyer but is something Daniel excels at and enjoys.

Daniel saw firsthand, the struggles of hard-working people and families growing up.  His parents immigrated to eastern Montana from southern France, starting with nothing except a strong work ethic.  They raised their family on the farm and ranch and encouraged Daniel and his sisters to obtain advanced degrees.  His father had only an eighth-grade education because southern France was in a deep recession, and he needed to work to provide for his family.  Daniel’s parents instilled in him and his siblings the importance of honesty, education and hard work.  This work ethic has translated into substantial results for his clients.

Daniel is the proud parent of three sons who enjoy hiking, skiing and participating in many other outdoor activities. Daniel also enjoys hiking, skiing, biking and the other outdoor activities that Bozeman has to offer. Daniel is a first-generation American and is proud of his Basque heritage.
