About Daniel
Daniel Higgins built a legal foundation through formal legal education and early professional training before entering private practice. He completed the requirements to become an attorney and moved quickly into work that combined client advising and courtroom exposure. Those formative years shaped how he approaches case preparation and client communications.
He began his career working in law firms where he handled a broad mix of assignments. Early practice included drafting pleadings, managing discovery, and working on transactional matters.

He is comfortable in high-pressure environments and in settings that require thorough written work. Other lawyers and staff have relied on him for managing detailed projects when timelines were tight.
At Capovilla & Williams Higgins is part of a team that serves a range of clients. He works alongside other attorneys and support staff, handling matters that come through the firm’s office.
