In this episode of "The Free Lawyer," host Gary Miles interviews Dan Schneiderman, a personal injury trial attorney who recently opened his own practice. Dan, from a family of medical professionals, shares his journey from a deputy district attorney to entrepreneurship. He emphasizes the importance of mentorship, strategic career planning, and work-life balance. The discussion highlights Dan's transition challenges, his calculated approach to starting his firm, and the value of coaching in overcoming imposter syndrome. The episode offers insights into managing stress, maintaining productivity, and achieving fulfillment in the legal profession.

As the owner and founder of Schneiderman Trial Attorneys, Mr. Schneiderman’s primary practice involves representing plaintiffs involved in personal injury disputes through mediation, arbitration, or trial in both state and federal court. Mr. Schneiderman’s clients are typically individuals that have been injured or wronged due to the fault of another, and are in or anticipate litigation for personal injury-related matters. Mr. Schneiderman’s specialty areas include matters involving traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, catastrophic injury and wrongful death.

As a trial attorney, Mr. Schneiderman has handled numerous complex, high-stakes civil and injury cases, achieving millions in results for my clients through trial, arbitration, and settlement in state and federal court.

For his work, Mr. Schneiderman has been rated by Super Lawyers magazine as being in the top 2.5% of attorneys under 40 years old, receiving the Rising Stars Award for his performance in civil litigation each year since 2016. Mr. Schneiderman has and continues to work towards providing his clients with an open and transparent attorney-client relationship, an effort that has earned him a “5 out of 5” star average client review and rating of “10/10” on the attorney review website.

When he’s not trying to get into a courtroom, you can usually find Dan trying to get to the beach for a surf, hanging out with his wife Vicki, two kids, and their two pets (a crazy cat and an English Bulldog), trying to invent or 3D print something in his garage, golfing, trying to write, fishing with his pops, or laying in the hammock in the backyard.
