Daniel S. Agle

General Counsel, Shareholder

Daniel Agle’s practice focuses on both civil litigation and outside general counsel services.

Civil Litigation
As a key member of Klinedinst’s Professional Liability Group, Mr. Agle defends professionals, including real estate agents, accountants, and attorneys in both federal and state court, and in binding arbitration.  Mr. Agle is also a member of the Business and Commercial Litigation Group and the Real Estate and Construction Group where he assists both plaintiffs and defendants with their civil disputes, both in the pre-litigation stage as well as in active litigation. He has focused on contract disputes, wrongful foreclosure, quiet title, failure to disclose disputes, securities disputes, shareholder derivative litigation, financial fraud actions, and trade secret litigation.

Mr. Agle has handled a broad range of lawsuits from those with relatively small demands to cases with potential damages exceeding $200,000,000. In defending his clients, Mr. Agle has had significant success obtaining dismissals through pre-trial motions including demurrers, motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and anti-SLAPP motions. Mr. Agle also has jury trial experience for those occasions where pre-trial disposition is not possible. He has achieved the highest AV®-Preeminent™ rating from Martindale-Hubbell.

Outside General Counsel
Mr. Agle provides outside general counsel services to a number of real estate brokerages, accounting firms, and law firms.  That counsel ranges from risk management, to ethics, to compliance.  Most legal issues can be more efficiently addressed with early attention and action, rather than waiting until a lawsuit has been filed.

Mr. Agle also serves as the firm’s General Counsel, where he leads the Office of General Counsel.
