Gregg M. Rosenberg

I retained this attorney for a complex trade-secret and employment dispute that ultimately resolved without trial. The case concluded through an agreed permanent injunction and final judgment, without a cooperation agreement. While my attorney was knowledgeable about procedure and generally respo...nsive, I often did not feel he was sufficiently attentive to the strategic needs of the case or proactive in pushing back on opposing counsel. At several points, opposing counsel’s positions appeared to be accepted or relayed rather than meaningfully challenged, even when I raised concerns about overbreadth, ongoing obligations, and long-term risk. I also felt that my risk tolerance and objectives required more active advocacy than I received. In particular, I consistently expressed concerns about a proposed cooperation agreement that I believed created unnecessary and open-ended exposure. Those concerns were not meaningfully advanced, and the case ultimately resolved only after I personally held firm on not signing that agreement. Communication was generally timely, but there were instances where I did not feel fully aligned or supported in strategy execution. Fees were significant relative to the outcome, especially given that the final resolution excluded several provisions that consumed substantial time and negotiation. Overall, competent on process, but I would have benefited from more assertive advocacy and closer strategic attention to my stated objectives. Clients in high-stakes or asymmetric cases may want to be especially hands-on and ensure their counsel is actively pushing back rather than defaulting to opposing counsel’s framing.

I had never been sued before. A friend and I found ourselves facing a libel lawsuit from a coworker. We hired Mr. Rosenberg to represent us. During the plaintiff’s deposition, Mr. Rosenberg, in a cool, calm, and very respectful manner, used his logical scalpel to cut through the many arguments presen...ted by the plaintiff to claim damages in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He showed that the plaintiff’s metal alloy statue may have looked impressive to someone unfamiliar with the law, but on closer examination, it had feet of clay. With every one of Mr. Rosenberg’s logical blows, the plaintiff’s figure shrank, and his whole edifice of complaints against us looked weaker and weaker. When Mr. Rosenberg finished with his impressive logical blows, the plaintiff’s statue was smashed on the floor. Its weakness was evident. He had suffered no damages whatsoever. I was also impressed by Mr. Rosenberg’s motion for a summary judgment. The extensive document was a masterpiece of clarity, even for those unfamiliar with the law, and its logic stung. The judge ruled in our favor.

I hired Gregg Rosenberg to represent me in a wrongful termination case based on the positive online reviews on AVVO. My experience with Rosenberg was not positive at all. Rosenberg made big promised which convinced me into paying the retainer. I believe that Rosenberg had no intention of fierce...ly advocating on my behalf. Rosenberg did very little legal work, i.e., no depositions and very little discovery, told that I wouldn't win in court, and then he dropped me as a client. Rosenberg would not provide a rationale for the limited discovery or reason he did not take one deposition. Please read the negative reviews on AVVO, which coincides with my experience with him. Rosenberg will probably claim that I was never a client in his response, but I have a signed agreement and evidence of payment proving that I was a client. I’m filing this complaint anonymously because I don’t want Rosenberg contacting me.

In 2021, I hired Gregg M. Rosenberg to represent me in a wrongful termination lawsuit. He agreed to take my case. I signed the agreement and paid the retainer about two months later he decided that he could no longer represent me and I should seek new counsel. His rationale for withdrawing from the ...case was ambiguous, i.e., he could not or would not say whether or not my case had merit. I asked for the return of my retainer, He replied that he earned the entire retainer by reviewing EEO documents. Rosenberg provided no evidence of any tangible work completed. Please do your research, i.e., check for any malpractice lawsuits filed against the attorney before signing any agreements and paying any retainers.
