Daniel S. Wright

Daniel S. Wright
Dan began his career working at a small Atlanta-based law firm, focusing on commercial litigation, insurance law, estate planning, and general transactional matters.  Seeking to diversify his practice and delve into more complex transactional matters, Dan subsequently moved to a larger firm and practiced law primarily in the field of commercial real estate, including acquisitions and dispositions of variable commercial property (e.g., shopping centers, office buildings, hotels and warehouses) most often on the developer side of the transaction, and leasing.  Dan also worked on general corporate transactional issues, including corporate formation, governance, franchise, and other general transactional matters.  While focusing on transactional matters, Dan leveraged his knowledge in litigation to provide litigation management services to the firm’s clients and maintained his estate planning practice during this time. 

Observing Sherry’s success in solo practice, Dan decided to join Sherry to found Neal & Wright LLC on February 1, 2007.  Drawing from his broad-based experience, Dan offers general business legal services, including real estate, corporate, and various other business law services, and estate planning.

Dan graduated cum laude from the School of Law at the University of Georgia in 1999.  During his time in law school, Dan was on the Georgia Law Review and active in student government.  Dan also interned in the summer of 1998 for U.S. Magistrate Judge Gerrilyn G. Brill, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia.  Dan graduated from Trinity University, located in San Antonio, Texas, in 1996 with a B.A. in Economics.
