About Daniel W.
Daniel W. Sheerin took a measured path to the law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts at Tufts University, then moved to New York to study at Fordham University School of Law, where he received his J.D. Those years shaped his approach to legal work: close attention to documents, an appetite for analysis, and a preference for clear writing. He has carried those habits into practice.
After law school, Sheerin began building a practice in California. He is admitted to practice in that state and has practiced in its courts and before administrative bodies. His colleagues describe him as thorough and steady. Clients have turned to him for legal work that requires careful preparation and a steady hand through complex procedural steps.
Sheerin joined Raines Feldman LLP as an associate. At the firm he has worked on cases that require detailed factual development and precise pleading. His role involves drafting motions, taking depositions, and preparing filings for state agencies and courts. Associates at that level often manage discovery and coordinate with expert witnesses; Sheerin’s responsibilities reflect that range of tasks.
Those who have worked with him note an appetite for dissecting complicated records and a willingness to stay on a problem until the key issues are clear. His training at Fordham, where legal writing and advocacy are emphasized, shows in his courtroom documents and briefs. He combines methodical research with a direct writing style. He is not a lawyer who leans on jargon when plain language will do.
Outside client matters, Sheerin remains connected to the basics of legal practice. He follows developments in California law and procedures. He reads decisions closely and adapts filings to the rules and norms of local courts. That habit reduces surprises and keeps cases moving on ordinary schedules rather than stalling on technical points.
Today Sheerin serves as an associate at Raines Feldman LLP in California. He continues to handle litigation and regulatory matters that arise under California law and to prepare the motions and briefs that those matters require.
