About Daniel Patrick
Daniel Patrick Frankl built a steady legal career that began in the classrooms of George Mason University. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Administration of Justice from George Mason University in 1979 and later received a Juris Doctor from George Mason University School of Law in 1986. Those years framed an early interest in public law and courtroom practice.
Frankl entered private practice after law school and eventually became a founding partner of Frankl Miller & Webb, LLP. He has practiced in Virginia for several decades and holds admission to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. His peers have recognized his courtroom work; he is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell, an indication of peer review ratings on legal ability and ethical standards.
Over the years he has taken on matters in both state and federal forums. His admission to the Fourth Circuit reflects experience handling appellate matters as well as trial-level litigation. He has maintained a courtroom presence and worked on cases that required federal appellate briefing and argument. Those responsibilities have shaped a practice that spans trial work and appeals.
Frankl’s career also includes an office affiliation with Harman Claytor Corrigan and Wellman. That connection sits alongside his role at Frankl Miller & Webb, LLP and speaks to a practice that engages with multiple institutional settings. Colleagues describe him as steady under pressure and methodical in preparation. He tends to keep case strategy straightforward and prioritizes clear legal writing in appellate filings.
Outside the courtroom he has remained connected to legal developments through continuing education and participation in professional forums. The AV rating remains a consistent marker of how other lawyers and judges have evaluated his performance over time. He has balanced a private practice life with the demands of appellate calendars and trial dockets.
As a lawyer admitted in Virginia and to the Fourth Circuit, Frankl’s work sits in the intersection of state and federal practice. He continues to serve clients through Frankl Miller & Webb, LLP and through his office affiliation with Harman Claytor Corrigan and Wellman. He currently practices civil litigation in Virginia and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
