Biography

As a survivor of childhood Leukemia, Daniel has developed a passion for helping those experiencing life-altering conditions, inspiring him to become a Personal Injury lawyer at Thomson Rogers.

Daniel joined Thomson Rogers as an Articling Student after graduating from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law. Prior to law school, Daniel received his Bachelor of Kinesiology from McMaster University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. During his time at McMaster University, he worked as a physiotherapist assistant at a busy physiotherapy clinic, where he assisted in the treatment and recovery of a wide variety of injuries. His background in Kinesiology and experience at the clinic are unique assets for helping accident victims.

While in law school, Daniel volunteered with Pro Bono Students Canada on the Family Reunification Project, which was focused on the sponsorship of family members by refugee claimants.

Outside of work, Daniel enjoys all things basketball (go Raptors!), singing, and spending time with his wife and baby boys.

Daniel Garas was easy to work with. He was very knowledgeable and involved. I turned to Daniel simply to be able to get proper medical treatment after my accident. He not only got me exceptional treatments, he was also able to get a monetary settlement and it was a swift process. I am very pleased with the way Daniel handled my MVA.

After I was seriously injured in a road accident, a good friend declared that he would find me a top-rated personal injury lawyer. He did not disappoint! I was soon introduced to Darcy Merkur and his Associate, Daniel Garas, at Thomson Rogers. It was a great relief to have these two gentlemen advocating on my behalf, sparing me the considerable stress of dealing directly with insurance company representatives. At the outset, they connected me with an Occupational Therapist/Case Manager, Laura MacPhee who did an excellent job of coordinating a very effective rehabilitation program for me.

Throughout my association with them, I found Darcy and Daniel professional, efficient and empathetic. Not only did they ensure the necessary funding for my rehabilitation program, but they secured a fair settlement from the at-fault driver. I highly recommend them to anyone requiring personal injury legal services.

I am beyond grateful to Thomson Rogers Lawyers for their unwavering support, expertise, and compassion throughout my recovery and case settlement after my car accident in September 2023 at 22 years old. From the very first contact, they guided me with care and professionalism, quickly connecting me with an occupational therapist who ensured I had the support needed to navigate the physical and emotional challenges of my recovery. They also facilitated my access to physiotherapy, counselling, and other essential services that greatly aided my healing process.

Throughout this journey, Thomson Rogers Lawyers maintained outstanding communication with me. I was consistently informed, never left with questions, and impressed by their exceptional internal communication, which allowed every step of the process to flow seamlessly. Their dedication went beyond what I had expected. With their diligent efforts, my case was resolved just over a year after my accident, and the outcome exceeded my expectations, given all the circumstances.

Thanks to the incredible team at Thomson Rogers, I feel fully supported and ready to transition back to daily life without the stress I anticipated. I highly recommend Thomson Rogers Lawyers to anyone in need of truly compassionate and skilled legal representation—they genuinely care and deliver exceptional results. (Special thanks to Darcy, Daniel, and Merna).

I am at a loss for words for the service I received from Darcy and his team! I was referred over to Darcy from a family member and the entire experience was smooth and effortless. From my initial consultation all the way to release, I felt taken care of and got the better end on a settlement that was negotiated by Darcy and his team. Would like to say a special thank you to Daniel Garas for being very responsive, updating me and assisting in getting my accident taken care of. There is no other law firm I would rather take on my Personal Injury case than these guys.
