Meet the Litigator, the Baker, and the Tech CEO (You Are A Lawyer Newsletter SEPT. 2025)

Hey friend!

On the most recent episode of You Are A Lawyer, Daniel Rosenberg joins the podcast from the front seat of his car (literally!), just minutes after leaving court, which honestly tells you everything about his hustle.

A longtime litigator and criminal defense attorney, Daniel didn't start in law. He actually spent his early career running retail stores with his father before shifting gears at 27 to pursue law school. Fast forward, and he now co-owns a thriving civil litigation firm with multiple divisions and seven lawyers on staff.

In this episode, we talk about what it's like to truly build a career on your own terms. Daniel shares why he still gets excited to walk into a courtroom, what it's like to manage a growing legal team, and how he balances the stress of litigation with a love for the work. You'll hear about the power of partnership, the pressure of being “the most experienced litigator in the room,” and why adapting is the key to longevity in this field.

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck in your current path, Daniel's journey is a reminder that there's no one way to do this lawyer thing. Sometimes the most fulfilling careers are the ones that evolve; messy schedules, car recordings, and all. This conversation is for anyone wondering if there's room for growth, change, and maybe even joy in the practice of law.
