Daniel Banafsheian, Esq.

Daniel Banafsheian is a personal injury litigator who fights for clients seriously injured by the negligence of others. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law.

Before practicing law full-time, Daniel built and ran businesses across multiple industries. That experience taught him how the other side thinks, how insurance carriers calculate risk, and where the real leverage sits in a negotiation. He brings that mindset to every case, treating each claim as a business problem the defense will try to minimize and a story he is prepared to take to a jury if it comes to that.

In personal injury matters, Daniel works the case for trial from day one. He builds the medical record carefully, develops liability evidence early, and pressure-tests the defense theory before it gets traction. When carriers undervalue a claim, he is willing to push past the demand stage, and that posture often drives stronger settlements before a courtroom is ever needed. When it does not, he is ready.

At the negotiation table, Daniel is calm, prepared, and direct. He knows what a case is worth, he knows what the defense knows, and he does not give ground without reason. Clients describe him as responsive, clear, and relentless on their behalf. He prepares thoroughly, pays close attention to detail, and treats every client’s recovery, both physical and financial, as the priority that drives the case.

Benjamine earned his Juris Doctor from Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to his legal career, he spent a year in Israel as a Volunteer English Teaching Fellow with Masa Israel.
