LEARN MORE ABOUT DAN

Tell us a little bit about your history and how you came to be at Wickens Herzer Panza.
My firm Cook & Batista merged with Wickens Herzer Panza in the year 2000. We decided to relocate our newly combined law firm to Avon, Ohio. An architectural firm was hired, decisions made, and we moved into our new building in May of 2002. It was a tremendous first step for us, and solidified our future together.
What is your passion? What are you passionate about? What makes you tick?
I love to fly. I have a Piper Dakota airplane and I am an instrument rated pilot. I am also enamored with trains. Riding a train along the landscape of these United States is a relaxing, and eye-opening experience. I am an avid reader, and enjoy reading non-fiction and history. Dining at a good restaurant with family and friends is one of my favorite pass times.
Why do/should people want to and choose to work with you?
I am available to teach what I have learned, and feel I am very approachable. My door is always open.
What one quote resonates with you, either personally or professionally (or both)?
"What could possibly go wrong?" - John Cook
What's in your wallet/purse right this very minute? What do you never leave home without?
There is nothing in my wallet that I couldn't live without.
