About Daniel
Daniel Williams graduated from Cleveland State University in 2011. He returned to Ohio after school and established his legal career in the state where he is licensed to practice. His educational background provided the starting point for steady work in local courts and professional associations.
Early in his career he joined efforts that connected law students and recent graduates to local legal networks. Over time those connections became memberships in several organizations that reflect his interests and practice. He is a current member of the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and of the Lake County Bar Association. He also belongs to the St. Edward Legal Eagles, where he participates in programs that bridge legal practice and community engagement.
Williams built experience handling cases in Ohio courts. He works at Dworken & Bernstein Co., L.P.A., a firm where he represents clients across a range of matters. His day-to-day work involves counseling individuals who face criminal charges and advising them on courtroom procedures, plea options and trial preparation. He has handled both misdemeanor and felony matters, moving cases through arraignment, pretrial proceedings and trials as needed.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation and attentive in client meetings. He takes a practical approach to legal problems, breaking complex issues into manageable steps and laying out options for people who often arrive at a firm under stressful circumstances. Courtroom time has taught him how to explain evidence and procedure clearly to jurors and judges alike.
Outside the courtroom he maintains ties to local legal institutions. Membership in the Lake County Bar Association keeps him connected to regional developments and continuing education. His association with the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers provides access to training and peer review on criminal law topics.
As of 2026, Williams continues his practice at Dworken & Bernstein Co., L.P.A., handling criminal defense matters and representing clients in Ohio courts.
