Provided by Daniel Watkins
Daniel P. Watkins specializes in high-stakes defamation matters and reputation counseling. Extensive preparation and dynamic problem-solving are the touchstones of Daniel’s litigation practice. And while all cases vary and none is predictive, Daniel’s efforts have contributed to some of the largest defamation settlements and verdicts in American history.
Through these victories and others, Daniel has developed a reputation as a formidable trial lawyer and zealous advocate for clients. A nationally ranked defense lawyer recently described Daniel as a “force of nature” in the court room.
When he isn’t in court, Daniel spends time counseling clients facing extortionate, false, and unfair attacks to their reputations. He has represented governors, general counsels, high-profile whistleblowers, sports franchises and ownership groups, entrepreneurs, and some of the largest non-profit organizations in the world. He has also killed stories and obtained retractions, corrections, clarifications, and public apologies from ESPN, The Associated Press, Bloomberg, The Washington Post, Newsweek, and Consumer Reports, to name a few.
