Jeffrey Joseph Rosanswank

I am licensed to practice law in state and federal courts in California and Missouri. I have over 30 years of experience in the field of criminal law, including nearly 17 years as an Assistant Federal Public Defender. In addition to trying 40-50 cases to a jury in state and federal courts, I have also submitted over 50 appellate briefs to the United States Court of Appeals.

I have tried the most serious types of cases to a jury, including murder, rape, assault, and drug distribution cases. My career highlights range from securing an acquittal in a prison murder case after two co-defendants were convicted in separate trials to securing a woman's release from Missouri's death row in a post-conviction challenge.

Beyond my extensive trial experience, I also have significant management experience. I was hired to run a mid-sized public defender office in Missouri at the age of 28, where I tried my first death penalty case. I was then promoted to run one of three capital litigation offices in the state. I later served as the regional supervisor over 5 public defender offices in the St. Louis metropolitan area. I also supervised a Federal Public Defender branch office in Missouri for 14 years.

I have a unique ability to build trust and rapport with my clients and their families during an extraordinarily difficult time in each of their lives. I believe in fully educating each client so that they can make truly informed decisions. I also have a track record of achieving outstanding results for my clients on a consistent basis.
