Career

Daniel is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps.[2][3] From 2007 to 2013, Daniel was an associate at Katten Muchin Rosenman in Chicago. He served as a law clerk for Judge Virginia Mary Kendall of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois from 2013 to 2014. Since 2014, he has served as an assistant United States attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois.[1][4]

Notable cases

In 2020, Daniel prosecuted Chawain Lowe for possession of a firearm. Lowe unlawfully possessed a firearm and allegedly ditched the handgun in a dumpster as Chicago police were responding to shots being fired on May 22, 2019.[5] [6] [7]

In 2023, Daniel prosecuted Robert M. Kowalski, who was found guilty of embezzling $8 million from Washington Federal Bank for Savings, a bank in Bridgeport. Kowalski was also found guilty of concealing more than $560,000 in assets when he filed for bankruptcy. Kowalski was a business partner of the bank’s former president, chief executive officer, and major shareholder, John F. Gembara. Regulators shut down the bank after authorities accused Gembara of running an embezzlement scheme.[8][9][10]

Nomination to district court

In December 2021, Daniel was recommended to the president by Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth.[11] On March 20, 2023, President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Daniel to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On March 21, 2023, his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Biden nominated Daniel to a seat vacated by Judge Gary Feinerman, who resigned on December 31, 2022.[12] His nomination is pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
