Daniel Rodriguez

Rodriguez & Associates


Daniel Rodriguez is the Founder and President of Rodriguez & Associates. He has a background that is a little bit different than the typical lawyer. Daniel grew up in a migrant farm-worker family. He and his family were constantly on the move. He lived and worked in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and California. Daniel and his five siblings attended between three and five different schools each year up until college. It should be mentioned that Daniel’s education is that is a little bit different than the typical lawyer. It’s different because the vast majority of people who attend law school first obtain a bachelor’s degree in one of three areas: Political Science, English or History. Daniel obtained his bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo. Incidentally, Cal Poly is regarded by many as the top undergraduate public university engineering college in the country. And, for law school Daniel attended UCLA School of Law. He graduated in 1980 and took the bar exam that same year. Daniel was fortunate enough to pass the bar exam in his first attempt. Daniel says the following about passing the bar exam on his first try: “Not bad for an old cotton picker from Texas!” Daniel’s career as a lawyer is also a little bit different than the typical plaintiff’s lawyer. Daniel tried his first jury trial within one month of getting his license to practice law. Daniel’s skill as a personal injury lawyer in Bakersfield has not gone unnoticed. Daniel is proud of the fact that he was selected to teach at Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College.
