Daniel Halpern is well prepared for court, and keeps his client’s long-range interests and goals his primary focus.

Daniel B. Halpern's effective representation of his clients is built on his years of experience representing clients in court, and also on his added experience of serving as a judge pro tem in the Santa Clara County Superior Courts, both in the family law court and in the traffic court.

Attorney Daniel B. Halpern Focuses on the Big Picture

NOLO’S LAWYER DIRECTORY asked attorney Daniel B. Halpern about his greatest strengths and his style as a lawyer:

“My greatest strength is the ability to ascertain and use, to our clients’ advantage, the ‘big picture.’ I was taught from an early age, that if you can understand the ‘big picture,’ the little pieces fall into place by themselves. As a result I tend to constantly keep my mind not only on the legal aspects of a situation, but also the practical. And many times the practical may rule the day.”

Open-Minded and Non-Judgmental

Attorney Daniel B. Halpern believes that another area of strength that he works from is that he is open-minded and non-judgmental. He states:

“I am an African-American who was adopted at birth and raised by Caucasian parents, which has given me a very open mind in terms of relating to people and allows me to help in an extremely non-judgmental way.”

“I became a lawyer to help people. My primary area of practice, family law, is an area where I can accomplish the most for people in their lives in a direct way. My work has a direct, tangible impact.”
