Michael Allan Rosenhouse

I'm Michael A. Rosenhouse, a Rochester, New York appellate attorney. I focus my practice on civil appeals and appellate motions in state and federal courts. I represent both appellants and appellees, and I collaborate with other attorneys who need appellate assistance on complex, time-intensive cases. My appeals have addressed a range of issues, including securities fraud, breach of contract, ERISA, estates, defamation, nuisance, equitable distribution, personal injury, and professional malpractice, among others.

I am admitted to practice in New York and Illinois, before the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second, Fifth, and Seventh Circuits, and before the U.S. District Courts for the Western, Southern, and Northern Districts of New York and the Northern District of Illinois. I hold Martindale-Hubbell's AV Preeminent peer review rating, and I received the Karl N. Llewellyn Memorial Cup for Excellence in Appellate Advocacy at the University of Chicago Law School. I have authored New York Pattern Jury Instructions Companion Handbook and New York Trial Objections, and earlier in my career I served as managing editor of American Jurisprudence (2d) and American Law Reports, Federal.

I earned my J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School and my B.A. from Yale University. In addition to my Rochester office, I maintain an office in the Chicago area.
