About Benjamin
Biography
I have practiced law for more than three decades, and my hard work and commitment in aggressively helping employees and individuals is well recognized in and around the Portland Metro Area. I started my career representing numerous Federal Agencies including the Bonneville Power Adminsitration and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Upon leaving Federal employment in 1987, I embarked on my career as a plaintiff's employment lawyer. In 1990 I opened my own practice where I assisted clients on a range of matters including employment and personal injury. My goal is to provide employees and other cleints the superior legal representation that counters a defendant's "big firm."
Over the years I have refined my practice to focus solely on defending employees from suffering unlawful employment actions. Among others, I have successfully assisted clients in recovering for civil rights violations, unwanted sexual harassment, disability discrimination, medical leave, race/sex/gender discrimination and harassment, wage and hour disputes and a number of other employment related legal issues including the negotiation of severance agreements.
I represent injured employees and plaintiffs in both Oregon and Washington. I am licensed to practice before the the Federal and State Courts in Oregon and Washington. I also am admitted to practice before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I also assist employees at administrative hearings before agencies in the States of Washington and Oregon including the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, Unemployment Insurance, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
I am a member of the Oregon Trial Lawyers' Association, Multnomah Bar Association and the Federal Bar Association.
I am an avid Bicyclist, Hiker, Sailor and Kayaker.

I do not recommend Ben Rosenthal
Ben Rosenthal was obtained as my legal counsel. It became clear to me he was capable of handling my case, which was a very simple matter. He was non-responsive and acted in an unprofessional manner on more than one occasion. I was forced to fire him and he was paid thousands of dollars even though hi...
Benjamin Rosenthal
Replied last January 09, 2013I am Mr. Rosenthal's assistant and have read the above review. I was intimately involved in all matters that the above person appears to be complaining about. Without getting into details since that would disclose client confidences, which I am ethically bound not to do even when that person slings unfounded allegations, I can say that Mr. Rosenthal handled both matters competently and professionally and that they both ended in settlements acceptable to the client. This client is merely disgruntled for having to pay an attorney ANY money for services provided. In both cases over 40 hours of time was committed by Mr. Rosenthal's office. In both cases standard fee agreements were agreed to in advance. The law allows an attorney to lien the resolution of a case in order to allow an attorney to be compensated for his or her time. It is a business and as all businesses it is not a voluntary recrational pursuit. Mr. Rosenthal actually took less than the standard fee agreements called for as a further gesture of good will. This former client unfortunately continues to gripe that Mr. Rosenthal "acted unprofessionally." That is so despite that the Oregon State Bar found "no professional misconduct." It is unfortunate that this former client remains disgruntled. It is just as unfortunate that simply because this client remains disgruntled that this person can be allowed to misstate facts in a public forum such as this.
