Daniel H. Glasser focuses on cases that require business valuation and multiple experts. His accounting background enables him to read and interpret financial statements and tax returns easily. His ability to think on his feet and perform quick mental calculations gives him an edge in litigating complex cases. It also enables him to consult with clients early in the case and let them know what to expect, which path to follow, and what goals they can expect to achieve.

Dan also has negotiated and litigated hundreds of custody matters and draws on that experience, as well as his personal experience in raising his own children, to come to practical solutions in such cases.

For nearly 20 years, Dan has negotiated and tried family law cases involving complex issues such as business valuation, tax issues, and equitable distribution. He is a founding member of Pollock Begg Komar Glasser & Vertz LLC and is known for being a workout specialist for tough cases. He can prepare a difficult case in a short span of time.

He has briefed and argued numerous appeals in the state appellate courts. Dan also has experience as a business litigator and has dealt with a wide variety of issues in state and federal courts and administrative tribunals.

Dan has authored and co-authored various publications and seminar materials on domestic relations law (including tax aspects), ethics, evidence, and tax law and has been a featured speaker at various seminars and continuing legal education programs including bar association seminars in Pittsburgh, Vancouver, Boston, Bermuda, Toronto, and Harrisburg.

Dan originally had plans to pursue a career in accounting but found he had a natural aptitude for law. He started working in civil litigation at Buchanan Ingersoll but took an opportunity to transfer into its Family Law Group where he could use his accounting skills on complex cases. Dan also appreciated the high level of action in family law and the increased trial work and court time over his civil litigation work.

Dan admires his father for his approach to people and life, which was very genuine and no-nonsense, and his mother for her sweet disposition. He's an avid fan of sports of all kinds, whether he's watching, listening, or playing. He goes to every Steeler game and spends most of his free time with his family, which includes two teenaged boys. He has a huge extended family of over 100 members who all try to get together annually.

Education
Dan graduated cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1990, where he was a member of the Law Review, a Student Bar Association board member, and president of his graduating class. Additionally, as a member of the school's Appellate Advocacy Team, he was a five-state regional champion and a national finalist. He received a bachelor of science in accounting from The Pennsylvania State University in 1987.
