Daniel Greenbaum is a seasoned attorney and founder of Greenbaum Law Firm, where he has dedicated over 15 years to protecting consumers, enforcing environmental justice, and representing individuals harmed by corporate misconduct. His legal journey is rooted in a lifelong passion for justice and a deep commitment to public service, shaped by his belief that the law should serve the vulnerable, hold the powerful accountable, and deliver real-world solutions—not just courtroom victories.
Daniel’s practice spans public interest litigation, toxic torts, consumer protection, mediation, and bad-faith insurance claims. Since establishing his firm in 2014, he has led groundbreaking legal efforts that resulted in the removal of harmful chemicals from consumer products, including shampoos, sunscreens, plastics, and household goods. These victories reflect his firm belief that corporate responsibility is not optional, especially when public health is at stake.
Early in his career, Daniel served as general counsel for LuxeYard, Inc., a publicly traded media startup, where he managed a broad legal portfolio including bankruptcy, securities litigation, employment law, and M&A matters. His experience navigating high-stakes litigation and complex regulatory issues gave him a keen understanding of corporate operations and business risk—knowledge he continues to apply when advising businesses and nonprofit organizations.
In addition to his litigation work, Daniel is a strong advocate for conflict resolution outside of the courtroom. A certified mediator through the Straus Institute at Pepperdine University, he founded a mediation practice focused on resolving disputes through communication and creative problem-solving. He believes that mediation fosters healing and progress in ways that traditional litigation often cannot.
Daniel’s legal background includes leadership roles at several firms where he managed civil litigation, personal injury, and bankruptcy divisions. He has successfully represented clients in foreclosure defense, Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy proceedings, and creditor rights litigation, always with an eye toward restoring financial dignity to individuals and small businesses.
He holds a Juris Doctor from Pepperdine University School of Law, where he was active in the Jewish Law Students Association. He also earned a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Oberlin College, where he emphasized Islamic studies and interfaith engagement. His education reflects a lifelong interest in culture, ethics, and global perspectives—an outlook that informs his inclusive approach to legal advocacy.
Outside of his legal practice, Daniel is a passionate musician, songwriter, and community volunteer. He has served meals through his local church and brings the same compassion to his professional life that he does to his personal relationships. His hobbies—hiking, swimming, and playing guitar—ground him in creativity and balance, enabling him to serve clients with energy and empathy.
Daniel is fluent in English, with working proficiency in Spanish and elementary proficiency in Hebrew. He is a member of multiple bar associations, including the Los Angeles County Bar Association, which enhances his legal network and collaborative reach across industries and causes.
His areas of industry interest include cannabis, environmental and nonprofit sectors, education, gaming, and the arts. Daniel is especially drawn to organizations that align with his mission-driven legal background and his desire to make lasting social impact. He is currently seeking board opportunities where his legal expertise, mediation skills, and strategic perspective can help shape ethical governance and socially responsible growth.
