Daniel G. Krasnegor*

Daniel Krasnegor joined Goodman Allen Donnelly as a Partner in 2008, and is the lead attorney in the firm’s Veterans Benefit Group.

Following graduation from law school in 1993, Dan started his career drafting decisions for the Veterans Law Judges at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals and then defending Board decisions in the VA General Counsel’s office. In 1998, he left the VA in order to work for veterans and their dependents by forming a Veterans Benefits section in one of the largest defense law firms in Virginia. Since that time, he has represented thousands of veterans before the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and at the VA.

Dan served as a member of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims Rules Advisory Committee from 2001 to 2007 and is a founding member of the Court of Appeals for the Veterans Claims Bar Association.
