Coughlin Law Office

Daniel Coughlin, Ph.D., J.D.

After graduating from Hillsdale College with a B.S. in Biology, Daniel Coughlin earned his doctorate in Biological Chemistry from the University of Michigan. He then received his law degree from the University of Toledo. Daniel became a licensed attorney in the State of Kansas in 2012, and with the US Patent & Trademark Office in 2013. In 2012, he began his practice at Coughlin Law Office.  For two years, he practiced at Mishler Coughlin Law Office with partner and local attorney Martin Mishler. In 2016, Daniel returned to his individual practice, Coughlin Law Office.

Daniel and his wife, Tamra, have six children: Kaeb, Zoë, Ava, Ian, Simone, and Autumn. The Coughlin family enjoys spending time together outside, hiking and gardening. Fruit tree grafting is a most recent hobby. Their Dexter cattle are growing and multiplying without them though. Daniel was ordained as a pastor through Evangel Presbytery and is the pastor at Morrill Baptist Church.

Stuart Aller, Patent Agent

A native of Hiawatha, Kansas, Stuart has been writing and filing patent applications since 2019. Stuart started his career as a scientist for the state of Kansas and taught science in Hiawatha.
