Billy Daniels has over 50 years of experience practicing law, specializing in personal injury. Billy Daniels is an excellent trial attorney and has argued cases twice in the Supreme Court. In Billy’s own words, “Every person I have represented; as well as every trip I have taken; and every trial I have been in has been a learning experience. That is what life is about.
