Skilled Litigator with a Sharp Mind

Harry Rosenberg is a seasoned attorney with an impressive track record in commercial litigation and white-collar defense. His depth of experience—50+ years—was evident in how he handled my complex civil rights case with precision and strategic insight. Mr. Rosenberg’s expertise in business torts and trial practice proved invaluable, and his recognition as Lawyer of the Year underscores his reputation. While his legal acumen is unmatched, I found his billing structure a bit confusing at times, which could be streamlined for clarity. Highly recommend for high-stakes litigation.

Seasoned but Slow to Communicate

Harry Rosenberg is undoubtedly a skilled attorney with an impressive 53-year career in criminal defense and commercial litigation. His expertise in white-collar crime and civil rights is evident, and his multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions speak for themselves. However, my experience was mixed—while his legal knowledge and strategic approach were solid, communication was a recurring issue. Responses were often delayed, and clarifying case details sometimes felt like an uphill battle. For high-stakes matters like mine—a complex business dispute—timely updates are crucial. Rosenberg’s experience is undeniable, but I would have appreciated more proactive engagement. A 3-star review reflects competent work, but with room for improvement in client responsiveness.
