In its profile of Rose, the Daily Journal details his career trajectory and experience in a variety of areas before finding family law. On the topic of encountering family law, he stated, “I was drawn to its unique blend of personal issues, business issues and diverse legal issues.” The profile covers Rose’s success on an intricate, yearslong matter on which Rose prevailed at the California Court of Appeal in 2024, securing a victory for his client of around $15 million.
