Bar Admissions : State Bar of California Federal District Court for the Northern District of California Biography I have been a practicing attorney for over 35 years, initially in Washington, D.C, thereafter in Palo Alto, California as a partner in the full service law firm of Stanwood and Price (where my partner, Thomas R. Stanwood, served as president of the Palo Alto Bar Association). Following my partner’s retirement, I have practiced as a sole practitioner and the head of my own law firm in Palo Alto – the Law Office of Dan Price. My emphasis is on providing employment, dispute resolution, small business, and intellectual property licensing counseling to my Clients. My many years of service and a broad array of Clients and experiences have enabled the development of a rich assortment of problem solving tools enhancing my delivery of targeted, cost efficient and Client-centric solutions. I have sat on the board of directors of a fiber optics company, have represented leading companies providing various products and services including broadband access, VOIP services, precision optical software, software licensing and sale, gaming, consulting and online services, and various other bricks and mortar garden variety products and services. I am the former lead counsel for Source Services Corporation (a company that was acquired soon after its IPO), a company which was a leading national provider of personnel staffing services. While representing Source, I managed all employment issues and oversaw litigation across some 30 plus states. I have represented employee and employer plaintiffs and defendants, real estate buyers, sellers, and agents, licensors and licensees, parties to business contracts and both plaintiffs and defendants in litigation, arbitration, mediations, and agency hearings on a wide variety of subject areas. I have counseled numerous start-up and emerging businesses, both low tech and hi tech and provided operational documentation (business contracts, license agreements, employment agreements, etc.) for such enterprises at various stages of their growth. I have served as a member of a three attorney panel providing continuing legal education seminars across California to other lawyers through a program entitled “Company Assets, Confidential Information and the Mobile Employee”, sponsored by Lorman Education Services, Eau Claire, WI. Over the years I have come to understand my role as an attorney as essentially one of informed problem solving and have come to understand the value of anticipating those problems so as to avoid the considerable distractions and costs in dealing with a matured legal problem. I understand that one size does not fit all in determining the best legal strategy in any particular situation and therefore endeavor to gain a full understanding of each Client’s values, circumstances and objectives before identifying what “success” looks like to that Client. While most of my Clients are direct referrals by lawyers or current or previous Clients, no prospective Client is refused for lack of a referral. And if for any reason I am unable to take on a case, or if following acceptance of a case, unique issues outside of my range of competence should arise, I have developed a rich network of attorneys and other service providers capable of assisting in the resolution of your legal issues. Regardless and without charge, I am always available to point you in the right direction if I am not the right person for your particular legal issue. Our Philosophy I understand the concerns that all Clients have about both the quality and high costs of legal representation. The Law Office of Dan Price has maintained very reasonable billing rates and a commitment to providing legal representation that is accomplished efficiently, with honest communication and with no compromise to a commitment to excellence. You can expect that I will be responsive (take calls as received and if unavailable, same day responsive calls are the norm) diligent, client-centric and effective in working with you to develop and implement the strategy that is right for you and tailored for success. © 2022 Law Office of Dan Price Home About Us Employment Law Dispute Resolution Small Business Law Intellectual Property Law Contact Us Privacy Policy Law Office of Dan Price ​260 Sheridan Ave. ​Suite 200 Palo Alto, CA 94306 ​ Phone: (650) 321-1440 Fax: (650) 321-4746 ​[email protected] Intellectual Property Law | Dan Price Law Intellectual Property Law PROTECTING AND SECURING YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Home About Us Practices Intellectual Property Law Small Business Law Dispute Resolution Employment Law Contact – intellectual property law Advising owners regarding the creation and protection of their trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information, including developing and enforcing effective and enforceable restraints on misuse and misappropriation.

Object to processing of your personal data w Dispute Resolution | Dan Price Law Dispute Resolution EARLY SETTLEMENT, PRE-TRIL, TRIAL AND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESSES Home About Us Practices Intellectual Property Law Small Business Law Dispute Resolution Employment Law Contact – dispute resolution The Law Office of Dan Price (“LODP”) has developed a breadth of experience representing Clients in early settlement, pre-trial, trial and alternative dispute resolution processes (local, national and international arbitration and mediation) for some 35 years. The LODP is pleased with its record of success in resolving all manner of disputes, especially those that are resolved in their infancy. Litigation is no fun – it is expensive, consumes enormous time and can be very distractive. For these reasons my practice includes counseling and advice regarding alternatives to becoming a party to adversary proceedings. In many cases emerging problems can be effectively identified and managed or avoided before they become expensive and protracted litigation. Success is measured differently for each client, each of whom brings a unique blend of considerations that must be understood before a strategy suitable to that client can be developed. A client’s risk tolerances, finances, and opportunity costs are only a few of the relevant considerations to an effective dispute resolution strategy. Armed with this information and all other relevant facts, the LODP will explain the risks, benefits and costs of the alternatives without sugar coating or driving any strategy with false assurances. You can expect straight answers to your questions and an unvarnished opinion on the merits, virtues and difficulties of your case. The LODP also believes that both success as an advocate and cost management are facilitated by maintaining professional relationships with courts, agencies, arbitrators as well as opposing counsel and tries to develop a mutual problem-solving environment for all involved during the course of dispute resolution More Info Please feel free to contact the Law Office of Dan Price (“LODP”) as regards any question you may have regarding dispute resolution issues and to determine relevant experience held by the LODP regarding your particular issue.
