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 hired the Rosenberg law firm to represent me in a Non Compete Trade Secrets litigation. Gregg Rosenberg walked away from my case 1 week before my being deposed. When I tried to meet with him to discuss his abandoning me and returning of my funds (he had done no work on my case) my request was met... with hostile threats by him of having a Constable waiting for me in his office. My over all experience was that there was more concern, and more discussions of him getting paid then there were in discussions of the case and what he was going to do. He committed a grave error, advising me incorrectly that I would not have to pay for the arbitration fees (I was held responsible for these fees). Worse, Mr. Rosenberg never bothered inquiring about this small yet important detail to begin with.
