Early in his legal career McDaniel gained practical experience at the local level. In 2009 he served as an intern at the Santa Barbara County District Lawyer's Office.

By 2013 McDaniel had established his own practice, operating as Kenneth R. McDaniel, Lawyer at Law.

His career path reflects a common arc: academic preparation, public-sector exposure, and then a transition to a private practice model.
