✨Attorney Spotlight: An Interview with Dan Van Loh! ✨

Get to know Dan! We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Dan to learn more about him. Here’s what he had to say:

🏃‍♂️‍➡️What’s one hobby or activity you enjoy outside of law?
Running. I ran 1,200 miles in 2024. Since starting to run in 2017, I’ve run 2 marathons, 10+ half marathons, numerous other 5k, 10k, 10 mile, 20 mile and trail races.
⭐What’s the best piece of life advice you’ve received?
Relationships trump being right.
📖What book do you recommend most often?
I’m currently recommending a book by Arthur Brooks, From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life.
💬Do you have a favorite quote that motivates you, both personally and professionally?
“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” The quote is originally attributed to Albert Einstein and slightly modified by John Maxwell to “add” value. For me, this means to aspire to add value to every relationship, client, organization or endeavor.
🌅How do you like to start your day? Do you have any morning rituals?
I start my day with a “quiet” half hour that includes reading from the book of Proverbs, journaling, devotional/Bible reading and mediation, then coffee while I listen to a podcast. I also walk my teacup poodle, Pumpkin, each morning.
🌊If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?
The North Shore of Lake Superior with my wife, Natasha, which is a special place for us to relax and detach together.

🌟 21st Annual Company Retreat 🌟

This past week, our team gathered for our 21st Annual Retreat — a wonderful opportunity to connect, collaborate, and strengthen the bonds that make our firm so special.
Throughout the retreat, we worked on getting to know new team members, refining our common practices, aligning our standard procedures, and ensuring that we are all moving forward with the same dedication to excellence. We also revisited and refreshed our Mission and Vision, reaffirming our commitment to providing outstanding service to our clients and support to each other.
Of course, no retreat is complete without a little fun! We wrapped up the day with a team-building game that brought plenty of laughter and enjoyed a delicious charcuterie spread thanks to receptionist Julie!
Thanks to Angie, Traci, and Dan for their hard work on the retreat. We look forward to continued growth, shared purpose, and many more successful years ahead!

Mediation is a confidential process where the mediator helps facilitate a conversation between parties to help narrow or resolve disputed issues. Parties and attorneys frequently benefit from having a neutral third party involved to both facilitate the conversation and to propose potential settlement ideas. Both Dan and Traci have been trained as Qualified Rule 114 Neutrals for many years and are available to provide mediation services virtually or in person.
