A native Californian, Dan Rodarte has practiced civil litigation for over 25 years in a wide variety of areas, including mass tort product liability defense, commercial business disputes, professional liability and healthcare litigation. More recently, Dan has expanded his practice into the areas of estate planning and probate litigation. Dan also was a member of the national trial team for a major healthcare company, defending nationwide product liability claims and manufacturers in toxic exposure litigation.

After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1979, Dan joined a prominent national law firm where he practiced both commercial and personal injury litigation for many years. Dan also served with the San Francisco City Attorney's office representing the San Francisco Public Works Department, Police Department and Unified School District in a variety of litigation matters. In 1996, Dan opened his own law firm, continuing his litigation practice for eight years before joining Shapiro, Rodarte & Freedman.

Away from the office, Dan and his spouse, Ann Marie, try to keep up with their three teenage children and a multitude of school and community activities. Occasionally, Dan can be found on the golf course (usually in the rough or in the sand).
