Daniel Back
Hutton & Hutton Law Firm, LLC
Wichita,
 KS

Mr. Back was born and raised in the high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico. He attended Sterling College (Sterling, KS) on baseball and academic scholarships, where he met his beautiful wife of nearly 20 years, Katie. He then completed his undergraduate degree at Bluefield University (Bluefield, Virginia), also on a baseball scholarship. He graduated Manga Cum Laude with a degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology.

Following undergraduate school, Mr. Back attended the Baylor University School of Law in Waco, Texas, where he was involved in and won multiple litigation-based competitions. Most notably, he competed in and won the prestigious American Association for Justice (AAJ) National Mock Trial Championship, which involved 224 teams from law schools all over the country.

Notable Achievements

In the last two years, alone, Mr. Back has secured over $30,000,000 in settlements and trial verdicts. Most recently, he obtained the largest trial verdict in Cowley County history by winning a $3,277,455 medical malpractice jury trial against a physician who over-prescribed opioids to a patient who tragically passed away, leaving behind a young wife and two children; successfully settled over 200 lawsuits against a manufacturer of a product used in nearly every household in the country; and litigated dozens of cases related to injuries suffered in motor vehicle accidents, train accidents, hunting accidents, and miscellaneous injuries suffered as a result of negligence or dangerous products.

Peer Recognition

Mr. Back has been named a National Trial Lawyer “Top 40 under 40” for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022; the National Trial Lawyers "Top 100" for 2023 and 2024, the Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers Rising Star list for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018; and the Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Why Personal Injury?

“Our clients are, unfortunately, often dealing with the worst set of circumstances they have ever endured. Whether it’s a personal injury that has drastically impacted their life, or the tragic death of a loved one, if they come to us… things are not well. It is then my responsibility to take that horrible situation and do everything in my power to seek justice on their behalf. Often that justice equates to monetary compensation. While receiving compensation for the injury cannot undo the damage that has already been done, it can help provide necessary funds to ensure that appropriate care is provided in the future and appropriately compensate the individual for their pain and suffering or their grief over losing a loved one. I do not take that responsibility for granted, and I will never grow tired of knowing that I have helped brighten a client’s future. Knowing I can make that kind of difference, gets me out of bed each day.”

  • B.S. Bluefield College, 2004

Second, we put your interest first. Says, Mr. Back: “It’s not about the money here at Hutton & Hutton. We do what is necessary for your case. If that means trying the case – we’ll do it. If that means aggressively pursuing settlement – we’ll do it. The bottom line is that we want what is best for our clients.
