Dan Peelman

Dan was born in Waurika, Oklahoma on July 24, 1952 to Warren and Dolores Peelman, who both proceed him in death. Dan grew up in Merced, CA with his siblings, David (proceeded in death), Linda, Jeff and Gary. He joined the United States Army at the age of 18. Dan married the mother of his two sons, Matthew and Nicholas, and later moved his family to California in 1978 to join the Los Angeles Police Department. Dan proudly protected and served as a Police Officer with the LAPD for nearly 20 years and retired as a Sergeant in 1994. Dan obtained his master’s degree from the University of Southern California and his Law Degree from the University of La Verne.

After retiring from the LAPD, Dan opened The Law Offices of Dan Peelman and practiced law for the past 28 years. He announced his retirement and closed the doors to his law firm in 2021.
