Daniel Woislaw is an attorney in Pacific Legal Foundation’s Property Rights practice. He joined PLF in 2019.
Before PLF, Daniel worked as a public defender, where he argued constitutional questions surrounding Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment rights in trial courts in southern Virginia. Before that, he worked as a legal aid attorney under a grant from the Department of Justice to represent elderly victims of crime and abuse.
His initial interest in pursuing a career litigating for a free society developed while studying at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, from which he graduated magna cum laude in the spring of 2016. During his tenure, he was the senior research editor of George Mason’s Civil Rights Law Journal, served on the school’s moot court board, and spent one summer as a Charles Koch Fellow. He has published scholarly articles on search-and-seizure law, the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause, and sovereign immunity. In addition to his legal work for PLF, Daniel is a Privacy Scholar with the Libertas Institute.
When he is not fighting for liberty in the courts, Daniel enjoys haranguing his friends into playing long, complicated strategy board games or whipping up something fabulous in his kitchen with one or more of the many contraptions he has accumulated over the years. He resides in College Station, Texas, with his wife Julia, daughter Ellie Jo, and a small, spoiled dog named Peanut.
Daniel is licensed to practice law in Virginia and Texas.
