Daniel Suitor

Dan is a Housing Attorney for HOME Line, serving clients on the Hotline and working on rent stabilization issues in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. He joined HOME Line during his third year at the University of Minnesota Law School, through the Saeks Public Interest Residency Program.

Prior to law school, Dan earned a B.S. in Management Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, in Worcester, Massachusetts. He started his career as a state and federal tax consultant in the Denver area before working for 3M as a Financial Analyst at a factory in the South Shore of Massachusetts. In addition, Dan moonlighted as a bartender, server, and busser at an Italian restaurant outside Boston.

While in law school, Dan served a staffer and the Lead Symposium Editor for Minnesota Law Review. His student note, “You Don’t Have a Home to Go to but You Can Stay Here: A Bill of Rights for Unhoused Minnesotans,” surveying the constitutional rights of unhoused people and proposing a law to better enforce them was published in the first issue of MLR Volume 106. Based on his note, Dan was selected as the winner of the Steven M. Block Prize for Most Outstanding Article by a Graduating Student in the Area of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

During school, Dan also co-founded Minnesota Law Students for Economic Justice, a student organization that programs educational events and coordinates mutual aid and direct service projects on the UMN Law campus. Dan is proud to begin his career with HOME Line, working with tenants to help them better understand and enforce their rights. Housing issues are a major driver of the economic justice inequities that he hopes to ameliorate with his work.
