Dan Salinger Bio
Daniel Salinger is an attorney practicing in the areas of criminal law, personal injury, and wills/trusts. Mr. Salinger received his Bachelors of Science in Business with a minor in Economics from San Jose State University. He went to work as an accountant with Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors before attending law school at UOP's McGeorge School or Law in Sacramento. While in law school Mr. Salinger earned many top honors including induction into the Traynor Honor Society and the most prestigious academic honor, entry into the selective society of the Order of the Coif before graduating with McGeorge's highest honor of Great Distinction.
Professionally, Mr. Salinger interned at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office where he was exposed to the world of big city criminal prosecution and developed love and respect for the area of criminal law. In 1996, while awaiting results of the bar exam Mr. Salinger went to work for a well respected personal injury attorney where he diligently learned the area of practice.
Ultimately Mr. Salinger decided to establish a local practice offering services in criminal law, personal injury, and estate planning. The Law offices of Daniel Salinger were established in Elk Grove in 1997. The local area was experiencing an unprecedented housing boom and Glen Van Dyke came aboard with his expertise in construction defect to better serve the needs of the community and Salinger Van Dyke was born. Over the next ten years, the law firm built a strong reputation while helping hundreds of local individuals and families with their legal needs. In December 2009, Glen Van Dyke moved his practice to Truckee, a move that brought him closer to home. Thus Salinger Van Dyke became Salinger Law Group once more.
Mr. Salinger lives in Elk Grove with his wife and three children. When not working he is likely to be found at one of the many great local eateries, running or biking through the local streets or on the sideline of the soccer field cheering for his daughter.
Mr. Salinger looks forward to the next twenty plus years serving the local community.
