Why Us
You could take your talents anywhere. We know that. You know that. So, let’s cut to the chase - we're a plaintiff personal injury law firm that started over 20 years ago and has grown into a multi-million-dollar boutique law firm with over 160 team members. We take our clients seriously and fight against big insurance companies trying to screw them over. We are aggressive advocates. We will exhaust every option, every avenue, to get our clients what they deserve. Just look back at our successful history of thousands of clients who we’ve built relationships with to see the proof.
But what sets us apart? Our commitment to top-tier office culture. Across our six office locations dispersed through central and east Texas, you'll find a team who exceed in excellence in their work ethic, enthusiasm, and commitment to our social contract. It's no wonder we have a high retention of team members. But don't just take our word for it. See what our current team members think!

“DS is respected, valued, and we all learn from people that love to do what they do. We have the "work and life balance" many firms don't have, and the culture of this Firm is like no other.”

“I've been with DS for 6 years and I don't see myself anywhere else. I not only love my job, but I also love and admire how DS takes great care of all the incoming calls/cases. We don't discriminate or see the cases as a "pot of gold" we do our best to deliver great service and open our hearts to everyone that is in desperate need of help.”

“This kind of work culture is hard to find. Upper management is communicative, the training is thorough, the work is satisfying (to me!), and the firm takes good care of its employees.”

“If I had to use one word to describe Daniel Stark it would be intentional. Intentional in their hiring. Intentional in the cases they accept and how they treat their clients. Intentional in the professional development of their staff – attorneys AND support staff. Everything is carefully thought through from the social contract to the operational processes and employees and clients alike are treated with the utmost care and respect. The genuine care they bring to every level of the business is rare and makes this a place I see myself staying for the duration of my career.”

As much as we want you to sell us on why you're our ideal candidate, we want to sell you on why we think we're your ideal place to work. We may be biased, but Daniel Stark is one of the most rewarding places to develop and grow your professional work experience. Our team gives us 100% and in turn, we invest 100% right back into them.

Our Core Values

Work Hard, Play Hard
We want you to give your 100% in the office AND outside the office. In fact, we encourage you to take 5 days off in a row at least once a year. In addition, we have team member events to bond and play hard together. (Check out the pics/videos of our team adventures on our Facebook page!)

Be Remarkable
If we go above and beyond for our clients and team, they will do the same for you. We want people remarking about the work we do, and the high level of quality provided. That is how we know we are giving our 100% - not the bare minimum.

We appreciate those that do remarkable work. We believe everyone should take time to recognize the hard work of those around you! It has a huge impact on the health and positivity of our team.

Do It All, Do It Right, Do It Now
Get s**t done! The right way, the first time, when it needs to happen. 'Nuff said.

Arms Out, Thumbs Out
