Dan also served as League City PD’s media relations officer. He’s appeared on Fox News, Court TV, America’s Most Wanted, CBS News, and local media outlets in Houston and throughout Southeast Texas.

Education

University of Houston Law Center, J.D.

Dan worked full-time as he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Houston-Downtown with a 4.0 GPA. After graduation, Dan continued to work full-time and was accepted to the University of Houston Law Center. During his time at UH Law, Dan had the opportunity to compete on a national level for UH’s Interscholastic Mock Trial Team. He frequently won the individual and “Best Advocate” awards.  He remains deeply committed to trial advocacy and frequently serves as a coach and judge for the UH Law student trial team. Dan also served as Senior Articles Editor of the Environmental & Energy Law & Policy Journal. After graduation, Dan was selected as one of ten students for the National Order of Barristers, a national trial advocacy organization.

Upon graduation, Dan applied and was accepted to the Harris County District Attorney’s prestigious precommit program.  As an Assistant District Attorney, Dan continued to develop his trial skills and had the opportunity to learn new skills from many experienced local trial lawyers and judges.

After nearly two decades of public service, Krieger was fortunate to establish his office with the partners and staff of Cagle & McCumber.  Greg Cagle and Judge Kathleen McCumber are outstanding trial lawyers and have been invaluable mentors and friends.

Krieger has the ability to evaluate his cases from multiple perspectives due to his experience as a witness, a prosecutor, and a defense attorney. He’s seen the problems that plague some police investigations: witness contamination, bias, unreliable practices in witness identification, crime scene contamination, improper test administration and equipment maintenance, improperly trained officers, and misconduct.  Krieger has investigated, supervised, or evaluated thousands of cases as a police investigator, supervisor, or assistant district attorney. Let his experience work for you.  Dan Krieger is a relentless advocate for his clients with an eye for detail and ability to read between the lines.

Teamwork

Finding the right attorney is an important step to overcoming this difficult time in your life. It is one of the most important decisions you will make whether involved in a civil or criminal matter. Krieger’s clients greatly appreciate his outstanding service on every case: from the initial intake interview, to the investigation, and to its resolution.

People accused of serious crimes should understand the charges they face, the law surrounding the allegations, their due process rights and what to expect as Krieger defends and protects their constitutional rights and presumption of innocence.
