About the practice

A selective practice with direct lawyer attention.

Daniel E. Holloway represents patients, injured people, and policyholders in select serious matters and works with lawyers who need appellate or brief-writing help. The practice is built around careful factual work, disciplined written advocacy, and direct access to the lawyer handling the matter.

A serious plaintiff-side practice, handled directly by the lawyer whose name is on it.

Insurance bad faith matters for policyholders facing unfair claim handling.
Appellate and brief-writing help for lawyers in serious litigation.

How the practice works

Selective review

Matters are reviewed carefully at the outset to determine whether the facts, the medicine, the insurance conduct, or the litigation posture support serious work.

Direct strategy

Clients and co-counsel can expect direct access to the lawyer shaping the strategy and the written work.

Factual and written discipline

Careful writing is not an accessory here. It is part of how difficult facts, difficult institutions, and difficult legal questions are made legible and persuasive.

How the work is approached

Care and rigor

Serious matters need both human judgment and analytical discipline.

Serious injury and bad-faith matters often come with grief, anger, and confusion. The work still has to be analytical, because untested assumptions and weak factual development can sink a strong-looking case. Clients should also be told plainly what the office sees and what it does not.

Evidence over hunches

Important decisions should not rest on instinct alone.

The practice puts weight on factual reconstruction, research, and testing rather than gut feeling. That reduces the risk that strategy turns on a bad hunch and helps keep the work grounded in proof instead of posture.

Background, public work, and lawyer-facing work

Public work

Books, talks, and public work that reflect how the practice thinks.

Lawyers, Judges & Semi-Rational Beasts, published articles, podcast appearances, and medical-malpractice teaching all reflect the same emphasis on persuasion, clarity, and disciplined analysis that shapes the practice. For clients, that material can be a useful credibility signal before any direct contact.

What clients can expect

A candid first assessment of fit.

The first exchange should be plain about whether the matter appears to fit the practice and what further review would require.

Some matters need to be declined, some need more information, and some justify deeper review. The point is clarity, not sales pressure.
