Dal has handled hundreds of adult and juvenile cases ranging from class C misdemeanors to first degree felonies.  He understands the concerns of his clients and works each case as if it were the most important one on his docket.  Dal’s strongest asset is his ability to connect and work with all types of personalities, an asset that serves him well whether addressing a jury panel or negotiating with a prosecutor.  His approach enables him to consistently obtain favorable results for his clients that far exceed the norm.

Described by friends as a “renaissance man,” Dal’s life experience and talents extend well beyond the legal profession.  Prior to law school he pursued investment interests by working as a stockbroker for A.G. Edwards & Sons.  He has also experienced success as a business manager for Bridgestone/Firestone Mileage Sales Department (increasing his sales territory profit-before-taxes from $700,000 to $1,800,000 over the course of five years), an auto mechanic (with extensive experience building high performance Porsche engines), and a self-employed portrait artist (creating pastel portraits on an individual commission basis).  All this experience has come together to produce a confident, well-rounded personality, ideally suited for the courtroom environment of an attorney.
