Joel Rosen

I am a small business owner and needed to get a Business related document reviewed by an attorney. I found Attorney Joel Rosen on Avvo's website and signed up for the 15 minute consult. This was my first time trying this service offered by Avvo.com and didn't quite know what to expect - it worked out way better than expected! Attorney Rosen called me within 15 minutes of signing up for the consult. He had reviewed the entire document and had an excellent understanding of the subject matter. I asked him several questions and he answered them in detail to my full satisfaction. He offered to provide his comments on the document and the emailed them to me the same day! I was impressed with his professionalism and his straightforward approach. I will certainly be calling up his office for business related legal needs in the future!

While president of the school committee in my city I was sued by a public school administrator after sending what I thought was a private email to other members of the school committee with her name in it. I sent the email because two members said they were going to publicly discuss the performance of a school administrator and I wanted to remind them that would put the city at risk financially. In the email I sited a similar previous case that the city lost. Long story short the email was sent to the press and the person named in the email as winning the previous lawsuit sued me. Attorney Rosen was hired by the city to litigate this case. I worked with him extensively. I found him to have all of the traits listed above and more. He was terrific at following up and following through quickly and competently on issues that arose in the case and he sensitively handled calls from the press on my behalf. But above all, I was so impressed when reading transcripts of depositions. I learned that in depositions attorneys must listen closely, analyze testimony and form follow up questions quickly. Attorney Rosen was masterful in his probing and insightful follow up questions and ability to pull information out of the person being deposed. I believe the questions he asked in the deposition were vital to the outcome of the lawsuit. In addition, Attorney Rosen kept me informed every step of the way, through the initial lawsuit and the appeals. I highly recommend Attorney Rosen as a bright, hard working and talented attorney.
