Grunt Lawyer

Robert J. DiLorenzo, Esq. is a veteran trial lawyer turned author with over 40 years in the trenches of American courtroom practice. A California‑ and Wyoming‑licensed attorney, he’s represented thousands of clients in criminal defense, family law, civil litigation, and personal injury.

He’s the author of Notes from a Grunt Lawyer in the Trenches, a raw, boots‑on‑the‑ground look at what real lawyering feels like — the cases, the chaos, and the human stories behind every file. His ongoing project, The Lawyer’s Ledger, continues that mission with daily insights for lawyers, students, and anyone curious about the justice system.
