Daren Niemi is an associate attorney at the Podor Law Firm's Solon, Ohio office. His unique background and diverse experiences bring a distinctive perspective to his legal practice, enabling him to connect with clients from all walks of life.

Daren attended Hiram College, where he pursued a double major in Environmental Studies and Theatre. During his time at Hiram, he was an active member of the rugby team and the Environmental Club, developing both teamwork skills and a deep appreciation for environmental conservation. After graduation, Daren embarked on an adventure that would shape his approach to law: he spent six years as a fishing guide in Alaska.

This experience in the wilderness of Alaska cultivated Daren's resourcefulness, resilience, and ability to adapt to rapidly changing situations – qualities that now serve him well in the courtroom. Following his time in Alaska, Daren returned to Ohio to pursue his legal education at Cleveland Marshall College of Law, where he discovered his passion for trial advocacy.

Since joining Podor Law, Daren has established himself as a skilled trial attorney with a particular talent for connecting with juries. His background in theatre has proven invaluable in the courtroom, where he presents compelling narratives of his clients' experiences. Daren's practice focuses on personal injury litigation, where he combines thorough preparation with persuasive advocacy to achieve favorable outcomes.

When not representing clients, Daren remains an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys fishing, hiking, and environmental conservation activities. He also stays involved with local theatre groups, occasionally participating in community productions. His diverse interests and experiences enable him to relate to clients from various backgrounds and effectively tell their stories to judges and juries.
