Languages

Spanish

“People who are injured as a result of the negligence of another individual, company or product have the deck stacked against them from the start. Large insurance companies have a way of taking the human element out of every case, reducing it to nothing more than a number. I derive a great deal of satisfaction out of helping others and fighting for the justice they deserve.”

Dan Brazil

Daniel J. Brazil is the principal attorney and founder of Brazil Sweeney Law Group. Dan has been an attorney since 2000, practicing in state and federal court. While attending Hamline University School of Law, Dan worked with a personal injury law firm where he developed his passion for helping victims of all types of injuries.

Dan focuses primarily on personal injury and wrongful death claims resulting from car accidents, bike accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents, as well as working with workers’ compensation claims. Dan’s clients find that he is straight-forward, sincere and respected by his peers.

What Would a Jury Do?

As a litigator, Dan approaches each case from the mindset of “what would a jury do in this case?” He considers all angles and prepares every claim as though it will end up in court. He knows that the cases with more value are those you are prepared to try, especially when the opposing corporation, insurance firm or other party knows you will not hesitate to take things to trial to get what is best for the client.

What Matters Most to a Client?

Over the years, Dan has learned that what matters most is ensuring that his clients understand the situations they are in. He helps them see how the choices they make will affect their families and their futures. Moreover, he brings compassion to his law practice; he knows how important the outcome of a case is to each client. In every claim he handles, Dan takes all steps possible to protect his clients and advocate for their best interests.

Se Habla Español

The firm places a high priority on providing quality legal services to members of the Hispanic community. This priority grew out of the time Dan spent in Costa Rica, where he spent 6 months studying Spanish and working for the Costa Rica Trade and Development Board. He now offers a variety of legal services to Spanish-speaking individuals located throughout the Twin Cities and rural Minnesota. Se habla español.
