Daniel M. Poniatowski

I am the founder and principal of DMP Law. Prior to starting the firm, I worked as a commercial litigation attorney at Shartsis Friese LLP in San Francisco, California, from 2015 to 2024. I have significant experience handling heavily-litigated matters in both state and federal court, as well as commercial arbitration tribunals.

I obtained my law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School, graduating in the top of my class (magna cum laude, Order of the Coif). In law school I was a member of the Wisconsin Law Review and Moot Court Board.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Economics and Sociology from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, where I was a captain of the baseball team. I am a graduate of Bishop O’Dowd High School in Oakland, California. Prior to becoming a lawyer, I worked as a management consultant in New York City advising companies on business strategy and performance.
