About Daniel
Daniel Marchese practices law in Michigan, handling matters that range from estate planning and probate to real estate and tax-related issues. He balances private practice responsibilities with a role as of counsel, offering counsel on complex transactions and estate matters. His approach favors clear documents and practical solutions.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 2006. He then completed a Master of Public Administration at the University of Michigan–Dearborn in 2007, concentrating on federal, state and local government and nonprofit issues. He returned to legal studies at the University of Detroit Mercy and received his Juris Doctor in 2011, where his coursework emphasized real estate, estate planning and tax.
Shortly after beginning private practice, he opened The Marchese Law Office and served as its principal lawyer starting in 2012. That position put him in charge of client intake, drafting of wills and trusts, and supervising probate matters. In 2023 he took on an of counsel role at The Private Firm. In that capacity he provides advisory work on estate administration and real estate transactions while continuing to manage cases through his own practice.
He holds an Estate Planning and Probate Certificate from the Michigan Institute of Continuing Legal Education. That credential reflects additional study in probate procedures and estate drafting techniques. He is admitted to practice in Michigan and holds active memberships in several bar organizations, including the Oakland County Bar Association, the Macomb County Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Those memberships keep him engaged with developments in probate law and property law.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in the drafting room. He is known for plain-language estate documents and step-by-step guidance for clients facing administration. He works with families on wills, trusts and powers of attorney, and represents clients in probate courts when estate administrations become contested or complicated. In real estate matters he handles closings, title questions and deed work, and he advises on tax implications tied to property and estate transfers. He currently practices estate planning, probate, real estate, and related tax matters.
