About Daniel Allen
Daniel Allen Krieger earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Houston–Downtown in 2005 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Houston in 2008. He moved from an undergraduate program into law school on a conventional timeline. Those degrees provided the academic foundation for a career that has spanned law enforcement and courtroom work.
Krieger’s entry into public safety came years before law school. He served as a lieutenant with the League City Police Department beginning in 1996. The rank placed him in supervisory roles on patrol and investigations. That experience informed his later work in criminal law and contributed to several professional law-enforcement certifications he later obtained.
After completing law school, he entered prosecution and private practice. In 2009 he served as an assistant district lawyer in Harris County. The same year he became a managing partner at Krieger & Tillinger, a firm he helped shape in its early years. Those roles reflected a shift from enforcing the law to advocating in courtrooms, and they gave him exposure to both sides of criminal cases.
Krieger holds several credentials tied to impaired-driving work and police procedures. He is a Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Practitioner and an Instructor certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. He is a Breath Test Operator certified by the Texas Department of Public Safety and is credentialed as a Master Peace Officer by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. Those qualifications are relevant to DUI and related prosecutions, areas that commonly hinge on technical evidence and procedure.
He maintains memberships in professional organizations that align with his practice. He has been a member of the National College for DUI Defense since 2008. He has also belonged to the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the Galveston Criminal Defense Lawyers Association since 2011. Through those groups he participates in continuing legal education and case discussions among criminal defense peers.
Krieger is admitted to practice in Texas and before the Federal Circuit. His practice includes criminal defense matters and family law cases. He works from both criminal and family law offices, using his courtroom experience and law-enforcement background in client representation. He currently practices in criminal and family law.
