As a Shareholder and co-managing attorney, Danilo helps lead the firm’s litigation practice and provides strategic guidance to its attorneys and staff. Known for a strategic and empathetic approach, Danilo combines aggressive advocacy with careful judgment, tailoring each case to his client’s goals while leveraging his background in regulatory compliance, alternative dispute resolution, and computer technology, to craft creative, thorough solutions.

Prior to rejoining Sinapi Law Associates as a Shareholder in 2019, Danilo practiced at Peabody & Arnold LLP, one of Boston’s oldest and leading law firms, where he focused on advice and counsel, risk assessment, and litigation defense.

Before law school, Danilo spent seven years in the banking industry in dispute resolution, quality analysis, and compliance, and earlier worked in warehousing, landscaping, commercial cleaning, and food service—jobs that gave him a lasting appreciation for the realities and dignity of working people. Danilo believes access to justice is a right, not a privilege, and that the legal system works only when it works for everyone.

Danilo is a graduate from Johnson and Wales University. He received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Roger Williams University School of Law where he earned multiple awards for achieving the highest grades in litigation and public interest law classes.
