Thomas H Rosenhagen

Mr. Rosenhagen represented me in my social security case. He always answered my calls and met with me several times before my hearing. He received a statement from my doctor which I think really helped. At the hearing, it was apparent that the judge respected him as well. I won my case which I kn...ow was challenging. I would highly recommend him to anyone trying to get social security benefits.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
