Dan Centner

Partner

Dan was born in New York and raised in Colorado, but has adopted Louisiana as his home. He is based in the firm’s New Orleans office, where he maintains a diverse practice spanning a wide array of complex civil litigation matters ranging from nursing home abuse to investor- and securities-related disputes. Prior to joining the firm he spent more than a decade representing funds, brokers, insurers, and other large corporations across a broad spectrum of matters. He is proud to now put his talents to work helping individuals, not institutions.

Dan is a summa cum laude graduate of Tulane University Law School. During law school he served as the Senior Associate Editor of the Tulane Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif. After graduation he began his career at an international law firm in Manhattan before returning to New Orleans and eventually becoming a shareholder at one of the city’s premier defense firms.

For the past several years Dan has been selected to the Louisiana Super Lawyers “Rising Stars” list, an honor awarded to approximately 2.5 percent of attorneys in Louisiana. He serves on the Tulane Law Review Board of Advisory Editors and is a member of the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section.

In his free time Dan enjoys lifting weights and spending time with his wife and three boys. He is an active parishioner at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Old Metairie, Louisiana.
