About Daniel C.
Daniel C. Hill built a steady legal path that begins in the classroom and runs through local government halls. He earned his J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law in 1996 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in political science at the University of Vermont in 1991. Those formative years set the stage for a practice that blends law, public process and community work.
His early career took shape in Boston-area firms. In 1999 he joined Kopelman & Paige, P.C. as an associate. He later moved to Anderson & Kreiger, LLP, where he worked as an associate beginning in 2003. In 2008 he left the associate track and opened his own practice as principal of Hill Law. The change gave him a direct line to clients and to the municipal bodies that figure in many of his matters.
Hill is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He has held memberships in the Real Estate Bar Association and the Boston Bar Association since 2003. Those ties keep him connected to colleagues and to continuing developments in state and local law.
Outside of bar groups, his public service and volunteer roles have been steady. He has served on the Wayland Planning Board since 2014. He also has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity of Martha’s Vineyard since 2008. These positions reflect an ongoing interest in how law, planning and housing intersect at the community level.
Throughout his career Hill has worked with matters at the intersection of property and municipal governance. His practice has involved advising clients on real estate issues and on municipal questions that often arise at town and city boards. He combines courtroom and transactional experience with an understanding of local procedures.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach and focused on practical outcomes. He operates a small practice that allows direct contact with clients and attention to local process. That setup also enables his continuing involvement in town planning and affordable housing efforts.
Since founding Hill Law in 2008, he has maintained a steady caseload and an ongoing role in municipal affairs. He currently concentrates his practice on real estate and municipal matters.
