Daniel P. Hull

CONTACT US

Daniel’s father is a lawyer, and even at a young age Daniel saw the help his dad provided his clients.  He saw how he fought for them, and he saw the difference he made in their lives.  Daniel knew he wanted to live a life like that – one that made a difference for others.  Daniel believes that fighting for others, and making a difference, is the best part of his job.  Daniel is very grateful for the opportunity to be a lawyer, and to represent his clients, and it is a privilege he does not take for granted.  

Outside of the office, Daniel loves travel, reading, sports, and just about anything outdoors. He still travels to the Dominican Republic to see lifelong friends and to help where he is needed, including as a translator.  Daniel has coached in Cal Ripken baseball, youth softball, and he has coached youth basketball in the West Nashville Sports League.  Daniel is an avid Tennessee Volunteers fan, and when he is not watching the Vols or his children play ball, you will likely find him on the golf course.
