Interviewer: What inspired you to start your law firm?
Rudez Law (Daniel Rudez): My dad was my inspiration. He was a doctor with a private practice who went above and beyond for his patients. He made sure they understood everything about their health, more than they even asked for. That care, that commitment—that’s what I bring to my practice. No task is too small. If there’s hard work to do, we’ll do it.
Interviewer: Your firm originally started by serving a very specific community. Can you tell us about that?
Rudez Law (Daniel Rudez): Absolutely. I began by working with people from the former Yugoslavia, including Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs. My father treated many of them, and I realized they didn’t have anyone guiding them through the legal system. It started with just a few hundred mailers, and suddenly I had appointments booked solid. From there, I expanded to helping other immigrant communities who face similar challenges.
Interviewer: Why is trust so critical for these communities?
Rudez Law (Daniel Rudez): A lot of my clients come from countries where corruption is the norm. They’ve seen systems fail them before, so they arrive here with a deep sense of skepticism. Once they see that someone is fighting for them, advocating for them, that trust becomes sacred. And I take that seriously. If I can give them a positive experience, especially after everything they’ve been through, I will.
Interviewer: What does delivering a positive experience look like?
Rudez Law (Daniel Rudez): It starts with communication. Clients are scared, confused, and overwhelmed. I make sure they understand the process, know what’s happening, and feel supported. It may not be the most profitable way to run a firm, but it’s the right way. I’d rather make a little less and do it right than compromise my standards.
