If you NEED a criminal defense lawyer, Richard Rosenberg is it because he actually cares!

Let's face reality-- having to call a criminal lawyer at 3:30AM on the 4th of July because someone got arrested is NO FUN. But, Richard picked up, was on the phone with me the entire holiday weekend, guided me through what is otherwise an awful & traumatic experience with true compassion and concern... that no amount of money in the world can buy. I don't want to abuse it, but 7am, same day, at night, he answers. Because when you need an answer you don't want to wait. I've got to say I consider Richard more than our lawyer-- I consider him a friend. And, when facing criminal charges you want someone who actually cares about the outcome for you and your family. His legal expertise is wonderful. The Bail Bondsman referred by someone else knew his reputation and said, "he's amazing." I hope not to need Richard too much in the future. Hell, I wish to never NEED his services, but it's good to know now I do and he's there for me.

"Rich had a tremendous win today in the bribery trial of NY Assemblyman William F. Boyland. Not guilty on all counts in federal court. Most defendants in fed court plead. The 2 co-defendants did in this case. But Rich tried in and won it for his client. Incredible job."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
