Levine, Lori J.

Areas of Practice:

Dan is a litigation attorney by trade. For the last five years, he has assisted large and small businesses defending employment actions. Dan also worked with cities and counties across Oregon defending constitutional claims arising from land use and property disputes. Outside of those areas, Dan has worked on a broad variety of cases, including contract disputes and general negligence claims. In 2009, Daniel was named a "rising star" by Oregon Super Lawyers in the civil litigation field.

Dan grew up in Portland, with roots in the Pacific Northwest dating back four generations. Both sides of Dan's family built and developed businesses from the ground up. From an early age, Dan was exposed to the impact of family relationships on the life and health of those businesses.

At Slinde Nelson Stanford, Dan is continuing his litigation practice, while also adding a focus on assisting family businesses. This includes helping clients structure their businesses, advising them on their legal rights and obligations, anticipating potential pitfalls and conflicts that commonly emerge from dysfunctional relationships, and handling those issues in stride so the business can prosper.
