Daniel Hayes is the founder, editor, and sole researcher behind AdvoraHQ — an independent publication dedicated to U.S. personal finance, insurance, and consumer law.

His work is built on a single principle: every claim traces back to a primary source read in full. That means IRS publications and revenue rulings, Internal Revenue Code sections, state statutes and regulatory filings, federal and state court opinions, SEC filings from EDGAR, and insurance policy language straight from the documents — not summaries of summaries.

Daniel writes across four interconnected areas: personal finance and tax strategy, credit cards and consumer credit, insurance (health, life, auto, business, and specialty lines), and consumer law (personal injury, employment, and civil litigation). These areas overlap constantly in real life, and AdvoraHQ treats them as one system.

AdvoraHQ maintains a public Corrections Log and full Editorial Policy. Affiliate relationships, where they exist, never determine which products are evaluated or how.
