In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin interviews Daniel Gielchinsky, Partner at DGIM Law in Aventura, Florida. With more than 25 years of experience, Daniel focuses his practice on commercial litigation, business disputes, insolvency, bankruptcy, and land use and lobbying. He shares how an unexpected first-day courtroom experience taught him the profound importance of empathy, responsibility, and going above and beyond for clients.
Daniel recounts a powerful story involving a client who faced criminal charges and needed more than just representation in the courtroom. Daniel walked him through every stage of the process — from appearing before the judge to ensuring compliance with probation — showing that true advocacy means staying with clients long after the hearing ends.
Topics covered:
How exposure to different professions shaped his early decision to pursue law
Shifting from transactional ambitions to litigation and insolvency work
Lessons learned from representing a challenging client on his very first day
Why empathy is essential to effective legal practice
Carrying clients through uncertainty with guidance and resolve
