Daniel Barkin
About
Daniel, our senior legal assistant, is the longest serving employee at Sholes Miller Rodriguez & Brown, PLLC having joined the team in 2005, a remarkable achievement of longevity in today’s job market. But Daniel remains unphased. “Twenty years? That’s nothing. I’ve been waiting 56 years for a Miami Dolphins Super Bowl victory. Twenty years is the blink of an eye.” Co-workers have learned the hard way not to make eye contact with Daniel the day after a Dolphins’ loss.
Daniel supports our attorneys as a legal assistant and handles the firm’s calendar. Taking care of the firm’s calendar is a huge undertaking, and thanks to Daniel’s extraordinary attention to detail our attorneys are always reliably where they need to be.
Hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Daniel’s Canadian roots are unmistakable given his unique pronunciation of the words “sorry, drama,” and “pasta,” and his determined, albeit fruitless, attempts at convincing all New Yorkers to replace the word “soda” with “pop.”
Daniel’s typing is unmatched. Clocked at over 100 words-per-minute, Daniel explains, “It would be even higher, but I tend to hover over the exclamation mark key, unwilling to commit, not wishing to offend. It’s the Canadian in me.”
Daniel’s interests include music, documentaries, and making the world safe for democracy.
