Daniel Procaccini | 34 | Counsel, Adler Pollock & Sheehan P.C.


How do you think COVID-19 will change your industry going forward? Remote depositions, conferences and mediations are here to stay. It is in many ways a boon for public access and efficiency. Nevertheless, I am hopeful that we’ll return to courtrooms sooner rather than later. There’s no substitute for looking jurors, or a judge, in the eye without being separated by cyberspace.

What is the best advice you have ever received? “You should meet my friend, Lorraine.” We did meet later that day; we were married five years later.

What was your first job? I was a counselor at a local summer camp assisting in performing arts and journalism courses, while also trying to referee the daily dodgeball game.

What moment changed your life more than any other? The birth of my daughter, Olivia.

What is your greatest attribute that you bring to your job? A diverse set of professional experiences. An attorney’s most important job isn’t to argue – it’s to advise. When counseling a client, I can draw upon my background to inform our strategy and recommend a resolution.

What was your last Netflix or Amazon Prime binge watch? “Call My Agent!”

Fox or MSNBC? NPR.

What is your favorite song? “So What” by Miles Davis.

THE PROP: Daniel Procaccini holds a gavel first owned by his great-grandfather. “He was a true renaissance man – business owner, veteran and boxing champion, among other things – who taught his family that education unlocked endless opportunities,” Procaccini says.
