Separation of Powers

Allison Daniel is an attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation, focusing on cases in which she can help restore the separation of powers between the branches of government and prevent federal agencies from creating laws through regulatory action. Her commitment to liberty began with an interest in politics and philosophy in high school and college. She was particularly inspired by Ron Paul and the works of Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and Ayn Rand.

She received her law degree from the Florida State University College of Law, where she served as president of the Federalist Society chapter. She worked as a law clerk for Pacific Legal Foundation in the Sacramento office during her 1L summer. After law school, she joined the Institute for Justice as a staff attorney in the Florida office, where she defended the economic liberty and property rights of clients. Family commitments then led her to Ohio, where she clerked at the Ohio Court of Appeals and served as legal counsel to all statewide elected officeholders at the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

She resides in Southwest Ohio with her husband and their four young children.

Allison is a member of the bar only in the states of Ohio and Florida.
