Daniel L. Huestis
Daniel Huestis, or Dan to his family, friends and clients, focuses his time and talent on clients who are often at one of the lowest points in their lives and helps them stand on their feet again. Whether that painful event is a divorce after years of marriage, a custody battle old or new, or a contract dispute that threatens the survival of your business, Dan is here to guide you through the process to a brighter tomorrow. His love of the law comes from his roots in a small rural community in Vermont where he witnessed what can happen when friends and family don’t have the representation they need and deserve in a complex legal system. His experience in legal practice in both Utah and Delaware and his training at BYU Law School have given him the tools to make a difference, and he wants to make that difference in your life.
On a personal note, Dan met his wife, a native of the Dover area, while they were in school at BYU, and so far they have been blessed with three young boys to raise here in Delaware. Before meeting his wife he served for two years as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and he also has the odd combination of hobbies in motorcycle riding and ballroom dancing.
