Danny spent fifteen years working for various trade unions before completing a law degree and joining Slater & Gordon in 2000. Since then he has specialised in representing workers injured at work pursuing various legal entitlements within the Victorian WorkCover system.
With his extensive trade union background and experience Danny is particularly well placed to understand the various working environments and workplaces his clients have been injured in. Prior to working for trade unions as an industrial officer and organiser, Danny spent a considerable period working in various occupations including in the building industry, ship building, the waterfront, factories and manufacturing, council labouring, and even a period as a professional lifeguard.
Danny is particularly committed to ensuring as best he can he demystifies the legal process for his clients so they can make informed decisions and choices. He has a long history of representing working people and their families and enjoys using his years of negotiating and advocacy experience and skills on behalf of his WorkCover clients.
He has settled in the Geelong area and enjoys the ‘local’ feel of representing people from the Geelong, Bellarine, and Western Districts areas.
