About Attorney Awards

Biography

Mike Danko earned his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College, magna cum laude, and his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. Early in his career he worked for an internationally known Wall Street law firm, representing the nation’s leading financial institutions in high-stakes business litigation. Mike found the work more lucrative than it was fulfilling. Instead of protecting corporations, Mike wanted to help ordinary people. So Mike turned to representing those who have suffered catastrophic injuries, and the families of those who have been killed, due to the negligence or wrongdoing of others. Since then, he has earned for his clients hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements and in judge and jury awards. The awards have helped pay for ongoing medical treatment and care for the injured, and have served to compensate families for the loss of a loved one.
