About Daniel
Daniel Orloski built a career at the intersection of law, finance and public policy. He earned his J.D. in 1994 from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where his studies emphasized environmental and tax law. That legal training sits on top of earlier academic work in public finance and business administration.
Before law school he completed a Master of Science in Public Finance in 1987 and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1980, both from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Those degrees inform his approach to complex regulatory and tax questions. They also give him familiarity with municipal and public finance issues that often overlap with tax controversies and environmental compliance matters.
Orloski is admitted to practice in Illinois and holds admissions across several federal tribunals. His federal admissions include the United States District Courts for the Northern, Central and Southern Districts of Illinois, the Seventh Circuit and the Federal Circuit. He is also admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court. Those credentials allow him to handle matters that move between trial-level federal courts, specialized tax proceedings and appellate review.
Over the course of his career he has handled matters that require coordination of technical tax analysis and statutory interpretation. He has worked on disputes that involve federal tax procedure, administrative appeals and enforcement issues. Environmental law matters that intersect with regulatory compliance and permitting have been part of his portfolio as well, reflecting his academic background in environmental law.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and detail-oriented in legal settings. He approaches cases by breaking down statutes and regulations, isolating the core legal questions, and then mapping available procedural routes. His training in public finance often shapes how he frames financial and tax issues for clients and tribunals.
Outside the courtroom he has navigated procedural work in tax administration and civil litigation. His practice has required familiarity with both district court rules and the distinct procedures of the Tax Court. Those dual tracks give him the ability to move a dispute through different forums when a case demands it.
He currently maintains an active practice handling tax and environmental matters, and he is available to represent clients in the federal courts and the United States Tax Court where he is admitted to practice.
