About Jonathan
Biography
Jonathan Rosenberg is a leading New York criminal defense lawyer and appellate advocate with offices in downtown Brooklyn and Midtown Manhattan. Counsel to some of Brooklyn's best lawyers, including the Howard Greenberg Law Firm, Jonathan represents clients across all New York counties, in criminal and appellate matters ranging from misdemeanors to major felonies, summary judgments to administrative decisions, and all matters in defense of a client's Constitutional rights. Between jury trials, Jonathan focuses his advocacy on perfecting appeals, drafting motions, and handling post-judgment matters across the State of New York.
Depending on the nature of your case, Jonathan works with 3 to 5 attorneys who bring anywhere from 35 to 55 years of combined courtroom experience in fighting for the just and fair outcome at all stages of judicial process. As any exonerated individual -- whether at trial or on appeal -- would tell you, a well-organized legal team with a head lawyer is much more effective than an overworked solo attorney who outsources written motions to a paralegal.
When you're up against the resources of a powerful opposition, you need a legal team that's aggressive, creative, and imminently responsive. You need the best. Call Jonathan directly at
