STATE APPELLATE ADVOCACY

"When you've been victimized by an unjust judgment, verdict, or court order, you need a good lawyer and a great writer." 

— Jonathan Rosenberg, Managing Partner

Rosenberg Law Firm delivers experienced, creative, and passionate appellate advocacy across New York State. Our approach is grounded in sophisticated legal writing and an expert command of the law, its nuances, and its potential interpretations.

Our appellate team comprises three highly skilled attorneys with a proven track record of success in both state and federal appellate courts. We collaborate intensively, combining meticulous research and strategic outlining, with the post-judgment attorneys guiding the final argument strategy. This team-driven process ensures we deliver persuasive, factually rigorous, and compelling arguments designed to win for our clients.

A Team-driven approach to WINNING

While past results don't guarantee future outcomes, we believe in transparency and post our recent successes for review. With an unwavering focus on precision, efficiency, and excellence, Rosenberg has built an exceptional record of achieving favorable results across state and federal courts—ranging from dismissals, reversals, and modifications to exonerations and advantageous appellate settlements.

We endeavor to complete your appeal with speed and precision while ensuring that Our appellate and exoneration practices center on developing a powerful narrative detailing precisely what went wrong in your criminal or civil case—from procedural errors to substantive injustices—capturing the journey from the moment you entered the courts to the devastating impact of an unfair loss.

We strive to advance your appeal efficiently and precisely, ensuring your appellate briefs embody exceptional legal thinking, strategically sound arguments, and compelling prose. Make no mistake: outstanding appellate writing is critical. You often have only one opportunity to demonstrate to the appellate court that the outcome below was unfair, unjust, or contrary to law.

WHY DO BAD JUDGMENTS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?

It's a harsh reality that in countless cases, the losing party discovers the system's deep imperfections. Perhaps crucial evidence was ignored by a high-profile defense lawyer. Maybe a jury's attention lapsed at a critical moment. Perhaps a judge's rulings unfairly prejudiced the defense, or a prosecutor presented misleading evidence while witnesses lied without consequence. These are not hypotheticals; they are the reasons appellate remedies are essential to restoring freedom, dignity, and livelihoods.

Clients call us after suffering a trial loss or unjust conviction because they know something went profoundly wrong. They aren't just gambling on the appellate courts; they feel it in their core—the trial was unfair, the plea was coerced, their previous lawyer was indifferent, or the jury received a distorted picture of the truth. At Rosenberg, we transform these deeply human experiences of injustice into powerful legal arguments designed to achieve exceptional outcomes.

When the legal system has let you down and you are ready to fight back in the appellate courts, Rosenberg offers the highest caliber of appellate advocacy that our team of experienced, fearless advocates can provide. In many ways, an appeal is a new battleground—before a panel of seasoned judges who will examine your case with fresh eyes and a depth of legal wisdom often exceeding that of a trial jury. Once your appellate brief or exoneration motion is filed, we stand ready: preparing sharp replies, demanding oral argument, and guiding you through every step of the appellate process.

A Creative Approach to Legal Writing

We approach post-judgment writing much like a skilled screenwriter approaches a true story: the presentation must be human, relatable, and intensely persuasive, while remaining rigorously anchored to the facts and the law. The law isn't merely a set of rigid rules; it's a dynamic system shaped by exceptions, interpretations, and human context. Justice itself is a human outcome. Crafting arguments for judges requires structure, narrative force, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to presenting the human truth within the framework of the law.
