"Max Rosenberg is a charismatic and competent attorney who is very well versed in the area of Banruptcy Law. He is also the managing partner of an efficient and adept full-service law firm in Stratford, CT. I fully endorse Attorney Rosenberg and his firm."

I highly recommend Max for any of your bankruptcy and consumer protection matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Judge Rosenberg is an excellent very effective attorney, who freely shares his knowledge with other attorneys and the public."
"There is a bad and good side about Attorney Max Rosenberg. As a fellow lawyer who participates on Avvo, I sometimes feel that Attorney Rosenberg is stalking me due to our answering many of the same Asker's legal questions. That's the bad side. The good side is I see many of his answers and must say he is consistently thoughtful, knowledgeable, and respectful. I usually don't endorse fellow lawyers but make an exception for Attorney Rosenberg. He is a credit to Avvo."
"Based on Mr. Rosenberg's responses to AVVO questions and his profile, I endorse Mr. Rosenberg for bankruptcy and debt issues."
"Max is an attorney with a stellar business sense and a reputation for resolving tough problems for his clients in a methodical, direct, and efficient manner. But most importantly, he truly values his clients as human beings. I endorse this lawyer."

His responses have the blend of legal experience, common sense, srtategic savvy, and instinct for getting to the heart of the matter, that always makes for great legal advice and representation. He gets my endorsement!"
