Arshack’s pro bono legal work includes his role as Mass Defense Counsel to Greenpeace and Rainforest Action Network. He is a founder and was co-chair of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis Institutional Review Board, and has lectured on medical self-advocacy and legal rights for SHARE, a breast cancer self-help organization. He also volunteered for Volunteer Lawyers for The Arts and he continues to serve as consulting attorney for National Advocates for Pregnant Women.

While a student at Brandeis, Arshack dated Marta Kauffman, best known as the executive producer of the sitcom Friends. In episode 19 of Season 2 ("The One Where Eddie Won’t Go"), Monica accuses Rachel of stealing "Danny Arshack" away from her in the ninth grade.

2018

In 2018, Arshack served as consulting attorney for National Advocates for Pregnant Women, which represented Anne Bynum’s appeal against the state of Arkansas. Bynum, who had hid her pregnancy from her family, had a stillbirth in her home and was subsequently arrested for concealing a birth. She was initially sentenced to 6 years; Arshack argued and won her appeal. The court reversed the conviction and the prosecutor chose not to re-try her.

2015

In 2015, Arshack joined the defense team of Saudi Arabian lawyer and human rights activist Waleed Abulkhair. In 2015, he traveled to Geneva in order to accept the Ludovic Trarieux International Human Rights Prize on behalf of his client, who remains imprisoned.

2014

In 2014, Arshack represented the single largest taxpayer in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), who had been identified in a very public United Nations report prepared by UN area "experts" as a funder and supporter of rebel groups in that country. The individual denied the allegations and sought legal counsel to generate the evidence that the allegations were false and then convince the UN to retract the allegations made in the report, as these allegations had taken a severe toll on his business interests throughout the DRC and elsewhere in Africa and Europe. As a result of Arshack’s representation, the UN took the completely unprecedented step of agreeing to retract all of the damaging statements made against this individual; moreover, Arshack’s team addressed the lack of process within the UN structure to address allegations such as those made in these UN reports.

In 2014, Arshack was hired to consult in Mombasa, Kenya as Learned Counsel in the fight against the United States’ effort to extradite an associate of the two sons of slain drug baron Ibrahim Akasha from Kenya to the US to face drug trafficking charges.

2013

In 2013, Arshack was asked to join the legal team of the Aurora, CO "Dark Knight" movie theater shooter James Eagan Holmes, in an attempt to compel the Fox News reporter Jana Winter to appear before a judge in Colorado. Winter refused to reveal confidential sources, members of Colorado law enforcement, who had violated a Colorado judge’s gag order by sharing the contents of Holmes’s notebooks with her. Holmes faced the death penalty, but was convicted and sentenced to 12 life terms for 12 murders, plus 3,318 years for attempted murder. Arshack won at both the trial and appellate levels, but the highest court in New York ruled against Holmes. Arshack appealed to the United States Supreme Court, who declined to hear the case.

In 2013, Arshack represented Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, then the Deputy Consul General in New York, who was arrested on charges of illegally obtaining a work visa for her children’s nanny and paying her far less than the minimum wage. The case received considerable press and comment from the US State Department. Arshack advised Khobragade against leaving the country without a judge’s permission amidst the media storm. Ultimately all charges against Khobragade were dismissed.

In 2013, Arshack defended Chetan Kapur, manager of the New York-based hedge fund Think Strategy, who had been the subject of a prolonged SEC investigation. Kapur faced charges of security fraud, investor advisor fraud, and wire fraud, and faced up to 125 years in prison. In a deal with prosecutors, Kapur pleaded guilty to one count of failure to preserve books and records, was sentenced to time served (one year), and the prosecutors dismissed fraud charges.

2011

In 2011, Arshack provided the United States defense of the highest-ranking former official of Libya’s Qaddafi regime to defect from Libya at the inception of the Arab Spring. The defense, during a prolonged multi-pronged investigation of the official, required interaction with the FBI, UK Investigators, Scottish Police and SEC investigators, who sought information concerning events in which Libya was suspected of being involved ranging from the mid-1980s to 2010. Prolonged negotiations in Doha, Qatar, with various law enforcement agencies from different countries resulted in no charges being filed.

2008

In 2008 and 2015, Arshack represented David Greenglass, the brother of Ethel Rosenberg, who was a key government witness in the case against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. A group of historians sought to uncover Greenglass’s secret grand jury testimony, which led to the conviction and subsequent execution of the Rosenbergs; letters Arshack wrote on his client’s behalf convinced a federal judge in the July 2008 decision not to unseal Greenglass’s testimony. Arshack, representing the estate of David Greenglass and his family, continued to resist the release of that grand jury testimony in 2015 after Mr. Greenglass’s death.

In 2008, Arshack represented "French Spiderman" Alain Robert, who was charged with reckless endangerment, among other charges. Robert claimed to have climbed the New York Times building to raise awareness about global warming. After hearing Robert’s testimony, a grand jury decided to reduce his felony charges to minor non-criminal violations; Robert was sentenced to three days of community service, which he completed at the nonprofit organization Gay Men’s Health Crisis.

In 2006, Arshack successfully represented actress and singer Chanti Nieves’s privacy interests, when she was surreptitiously videotaped by HBO’s reality show Family Bonds as she stood on a street corner in Manhattan. Members of the cast made "crude remarks" about the effect Nieves’s appearance had on their genitals, and she sought damages. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Debra A. James ruled in Ms. Nieves's favor that Family Bonds would have had to show a "real relationship" between the show’s subject matter and the bystander’s image to avoid liability in an invasion of privacy case.

1990

While still a young Legal Aid lawyer, Arshack was featured in the 1990 Ted Koppel documentary news report that followed a drug trial from beginning to end. At the conclusion of the case after his client was convicted, Arshack answered in response to Koppel asking if he thought his client got a fair trial: "Well, I believe there should have been a level playing field. In this case there were two prosecutors in the room. One sat at the table next to me and the other was wearing a black robe" (referring to then New York State Supreme Court Justice Leslie Crocker Snyder).

1983

After receiving his law degree from Antioch, Arshack worked at private firms in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia from 1983 to 1987. His scope of practice included administrative hearings in securities fraud litigation, criminal trials including conspiracy, drug sales, interstate prostitution, homicide, passport fraud, and bank teller fraud; he also handled complex product liability work business loss, contracts, civil rights, and federal tort claims. As a result of one of his first cases, involving the rape of a young boy while in pre-trial detention in Washington, D.C., which successfully challenged the conditions of confinement for juveniles in Washington, D.C., Arshack had the opportunity to assist in the drafting of the Child Protection Act of 1984, which protected vulnerable children from being housed in cells with older, more violent arrestees.
