Summary

Daniel Reback is a plaintiff-side employment attorney with nearly two decades of experience representing employees who have been wronged in the workplace. He brings relentless advocacy, strategic insight, and a client-centered approach to every matter he handles, along with seasoned judgment and extensive litigation experience. Daniel focuses his practice on cases involving wrongful termination, retaliation, whistleblower violations, disability discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual abuse, hostile work environments, and wage-and-hour violations.

Deeply committed to employee rights and workplace accountability, Daniel is passionate about giving a voice to individuals who have suffered at the hands of large and powerful employers. He places a strong emphasis on building collaborative, trust-based attorney-client relationships, believing that a solid partnership is critical to achieving meaningful results and maximum financial recovery. Daniel works closely with each client to explain their legal options, develop their case, and put in the necessary work to achieve favorable outcomes through diligent representation and creative legal strategies. Through tenacious and zealous advocacy, Daniel has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of employees.
 
Throughout his career, Daniel has handled numerous employment law cases across a wide range of industries and job levels, representing employees from minimum-wage earners to high six and seven figure professionals. He is especially adept at securing favorable results for employees who were retaliated against after engaging in protected activity, including reporting harassment, discrimination, wage violations, safety concerns, or other unlawful conduct.
 
Daniel’s employment law practice is strengthened by his extensive background in complex civil litigation, which provides him with a strategic advantage when litigating against sophisticated and well-resourced employers. He has litigated a wide variety of business and commercial disputes, including breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims, real estate matters, insurance coverage disputes, and legal malpractice actions. This breadth of experience allows Daniel to approach employment cases with a sophisticated understanding of litigation strategy, discovery, and trial advocacy.
 
Daniel has conducted jury and bench trials and has argued more than a dozen times before the California Court of Appeal and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. One of his appellate victories was recognized by Law360 as the most significant decision in the Ninth Circuit and received country-wide media attention with Daniel appearing on national television.
 
Daniel earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his law degree from Loyola Law School, where he was on the Dean’s List, received First Honors Awards in both Appellate Advocacy and Labor Law, and served as a member of the Entertainment Law Review. Following law school, Daniel practiced as a litigator at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP. Daniel has been recognized by his peers as both a Southern California Super Lawyers “Rising Star”—a distinction awarded to no more than 2.5% of attorneys—and a Southern California Super Lawyer as well.
 
Outside the practice of law, Daniel enjoys spending time with his wife and boy-girl twins—one of whom is obsessed with dance, while the other lives and breathes sports. Daniel is also a dedicated sports enthusiast who enjoys coaching Little League baseball and cheering on the Los Angeles Dodgers and Michigan Wolverines.
