Havertown, PA personal injury attorney Daniel J. Siegel talks about some of the most common mistakes lawyers make regarding ethics and professional responsibility. He states that he has made working with lawyers a central focus of his practice, a specialization that grew naturally from years of providing guidance to attorneys who came to see him as a trusted resource. Since opening his Silver office 17 years ago, he discovered that lawyers highly value his ability to provide comprehensive ethical guidance, particularly in areas where small oversights can lead to major consequences.

At the core of his work with firms is ensuring that attorneys properly document their activities and take all necessary steps at the outset of client relationships—details often overlooked but critical to avoiding disciplinary issues. He assists law firms with everything from drafting or revising fee agreements and engagement letters to establishing best practices for trust accounts, communications, and filings. Often, he acts as co-counsel, handling the complex or time-consuming aspects of cases that might otherwise keep lawyers up late at night.

A unique aspect of his practice is his focus on technoethics, the intersection of ethics, technology, and cybersecurity. He regularly consults with law firms on protecting client data from cyber threats, implementing advanced security measures, and ensuring compliance with ethical obligations. His expertise extends beyond traditional ethics guidance because he combines it with advanced knowledge of technology and cybersecurity, making him one of the few lawyers nationally recognized in this niche. He also lectures extensively, speaking 20–30 times a year on cybersecurity and ethical issues for attorneys.
