McManis Faulkner congratulates partner Brandon Rose for his inclusion in the “Top Family Lawyers” list published by the Daily Journal, California’s largest legal newspaper. The annual roundup recognizes California’s top family lawyers, all making a difference for their clients, their firms and the legal profession. Rose has been recognized for five consecutive years.
In its profile, the Daily Journal highlights what drew Rose to family law: the human element. He says, “What’s kept me interested are the stories, the people and problem-solving. Every case is unique, and the challenge is to apply the law to help achieve the client’s goals.”
The profile highlights one of Rose’s more recent matters involving investment accounts, fiduciary duty violations and undisclosed assets overseas. Rose’s client was awarded 100% of the concealed community property, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as child and spousal support payments with interest. The Daily Journal also reports Rose securing a $15 million verdict for his client in a published opinion from the California Court of Appeal.
Chair of McManis Faulkner’s award-winning Family Law Group, Rose is a Family Law Specialist certified by the State Bar of California. He handles complex family law matters, resolving property and business disputes, as well as contesting child custody and support issues. Rose serves as a Judge Pro Tem for the San Mateo County Superior Court’s “Divorce in a Day” Program, which helps self-represented litigants obtain a judgment of divorce or legal separation. He was named a “Family Law Trailblazer” by the National Law Journal in 2022, and he is a Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America (LCA), an honor limited to less than one-half of one percent of trial lawyers. The Northern California Super Lawyers magazine has named him a “Rising Star” from 2017-2020 and a “Super Lawyer” from 2023-2025. Rose received his J.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo Law School (2009) and his B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles (2004).
