About Daniel J.
Daniel J. Guenther studied law at the Potomac School of Law in Washington, D.C., where he completed his legal education before entering practice. The early years after law school saw him establish a private practice and build a steady caseload across a range of domestic and bankruptcy matters. He earned a certification as a Family Law Custody Mediator from the Circuit Court system, an accreditation that shaped much of his later work in family law and dispute resolution.
He serves as the chief executive officer of the Law Offices of Daniel J. Guenther. In that role he handles case strategy, client intake, and courtroom work. His professional memberships include the Maryland Bar Association and the Federal Bankruptcy Bar, and he is admitted to practice in Maryland and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Those admissions allow him to move between state family court matters and federal matters that touch on bankruptcy and related civil issues.
Guenther has combined courtroom appearances with efforts to resolve disputes through mediation. His Circuit Court custody mediator certification reflects a practice that often favors negotiated outcomes when appropriate. He has represented clients in custody, support, and divorce proceedings while also handling adversarial matters when settlement is not possible.
Peers and clients see him as practical and procedural in his approach. He tends to emphasize preparation and an attention to local courtroom procedures. That practical bent extends to his handling of bankruptcy-related issues that intersect with family law, such as asset division and obligations that arise during or after insolvency proceedings.
The Law Offices of Daniel J. Guenther operates from offices in Leonardtown and Waldorf. These locations provide a base for both courtroom appearances and client consultations across Southern Maryland. He manages a small team that supports case preparation and mediation scheduling, keeping the firm responsive to court deadlines and client needs.
Throughout his career he has balanced litigation with alternative dispute resolution work. He continues to practice in Maryland and before the Fourth Circuit. His current practice focuses on family law matters, including custody mediation, and related civil and bankruptcy issues.
