About Daniel
Dan Galvin has been practicing law in Santa Rosa since 1979, first as an associate with Everett Shapiro, and then as a partner from 1982 to the present. He has been the managing partner for Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran since 1987. Dan's practice emphasizes general business law, particularly in the areas of construction, real estate and business formation. His practice includes representation of many small to medium size companies in the Sonoma County area. Estate planning and probate are also areas of emphasis.
Dan prides himself on being a preventative lawyer. He works with his clients in anticipation of potential problems so as to avoid unnecessary legal expense and litigation. This is largely accomplished through comprehensive preparation and review of contract documents, establishment of internal office policies, and compliance with regulatory and legal requirements. His clients trust his judgment and often seek early advice that heads off problems before they escalate into litigation.
Since 2001, Dan has also served as the Diocesan Attorney for the Roman Catholic Bishop of Santa Rosa, coordinating both routine organizational work, as well as litigation involving clergy abuse. Dan is a member of the National Diocesan Attorneys Association.
Dan is a native of Santa Rosa, having attended and graduated from St. Eugene's Elementary School, Cardinal Newman High School (1972), and Santa Rosa Junior College (AA-1974). Dan received his undergraduate degree from the University of San Francisco in 1976 (BA) and his law degree from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1979 (JD).
Dan is a past board member and Board President at Cardinal Newman High School, a graduate of the Leadership Santa Rosa Program, current long-time member of the Board of Directors for the North Coast Builders Exchange, prior Chairman of the City of Santa Rosa Community Advisory Board, and current member of the City of Santa Rosa Board of Public Utilities. He also is a member of the Advisory Board for the Junior League of Napa/Sonoma, and a director of the Catholic Community Foundation.
Dan has been active in a multitude of community related events and committees. He has lectured extensively on contractor related topics for the North Coast Builders Exchange and regularly serves as a Settlement Conference Panelist for the Sonoma County Superior Courts. He also has refereed high school and college basketball since 1979.
Dan resides in Santa Rosa with his wife, Marina and their rescued animals (2 dogs and 2 cats). He has three children, Janae (29), Brianne (27) and Mark (21). In addition to his refereeing, Dan enjoys long walks with his wife and dogs, golf, tennis, softball and swimming.
