Attorney. His family moved to Los Angeles when he was a toddler and he later studied at the University of Southern California and after further studies was admitted to the California Bar in 1903. He went into business for himself and became one of the most prominent corporate lawyers on the West Coast. He became associated as counsel with several old and petroleum men and the became most important in that field in the southwest United States. He worked with Charles Canfield, Edward Doheny and Dr. Norman Bridge. One of his first associations was as legal adviser to Canfield and when Canfield and partners put their money into Mexico for the development of the large properties of the Mexican Petroleum Company, he invested with them. His home 'Capo di Monte' on Strada Vecchia Road on the Westside of Los Angeles was built in 1914 by architect W.J. Dodd and the property turned a barren and desolate mountain top into one of Southern California's greatest mansions with 35 rooms on 600 acres and extensive landscaped gardens. Over one million dollars was spent on the estate and included tennis courts, golf course, swimming pool, stables and a trout hatchery. His wife, the former Daisy Canfield, daughter of Charles Canfield, later divorced him and married the silent screen actor Antonio Moreno, and thus the property was sold to Alphonso Bell Sr., who developed the community of Bel Air. In 1941 Atwater A. Kent purchased the property and lived there until his death in 1949. Danziger was a member of the Masonic Lodge, the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (32nd degree), The Al Malikah Shrine, L.A. Athletic Club, Sierra Madre Country Club and the Los Angeles Elks Lodge #99.
