Bronson Yake
Bronson was born and raised the first part of his life in Indiana. His family later moved to Maryland where he was homeschooled through high school and survived cancer as a teenager. After high school, Bronson studied aerospace engineering at Mississippi State University. He earned two engineering degrees. His first job out of college was in Fort Worth where he fell in love with the area. His engineering career of more than a decade in the defense and automotive industries took him various places across the county. While continuing to work full time as an engineer for a defense contractor, Bronson attended law school at the University of Baltimore where he was the captain of his school’s Appellate Advocacy Moot Court team and graduated in the top 10% of his class. After law school, Bronson was licensed to practice law in Texas and Maryland. Bronson was a founding member of a small firm near Baltimore and practiced general civil and domestic litigation including both trial and appellate advocacy.
Eventually, Bronson was able to return to Fort Worth where he worked as an attorney with the U.S. Small Business Administration assisting individuals and small businesses that had been devastated by disasters after the hurricane Harvey, Irma and Maria disasters, and then again when COVID-19 struck rising to a lead attorney position in the Fraud prevention group.
Bronson joined the Manuel Diaz Law Firm in April 2023 in their intake department.
Bronson is married with four daughters and one step son. His youngest daughter is still at home. Bronson and his wife and youngest daughter enjoy taking motorcycle rides together on the weekend.
