Defending the Accused

FEDERAL & STATE CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Rosenberg provides you with the experience, dedication, and creativity you need to successfully fight your federal criminal defense case, whether by dismissal, plea, or jury trial. Above all, we focus on a team-driven approach to federal advocacy, ensuring that our adversaries are equally matched, both inside and outside the courtroom.

Who are “we”?

Rosenberg Law Firm is led by Managing Partner Jonathan Rosenberg, who oversees a team of aggressive, fearless, and dedicated advocates, dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for your criminal case.

To achieve the best possible result, we bring a team-driven approach to advocating for your case. Our legal team has literally won thousands of dismissals and jury acquittals in both state and federal proceedings over the course of fifty years of combined experience.

When you’re up against the government, you need the best. Rosenberg offers clients full-service, white glove representation in federal prosecutions across the four district courts and beyond. When you’re life, livelihood, and liberty are on the line, you need a responsive, intelligent, experienced, and creative legal team to aggressively dispose of your case, and ensure that you avoid excessive financial and reputational loss.

FEAR IS THE ENEMY of advocacy

When faced with a federal prosecution, it is common to feel fear, depression, and a sense of impending loss — all emotions that are based on the false belief that the federal government always wins. This is not true.

The feds frequently lose cases, because they engage in overzealous prosecutions that require dismissal, reduced charges, or jury acquittals in deliberation of a just outcome.

Even if an individual committed a crime or wrongdoing, there is no reason to believe that the government must win the case, especially where the charges are overly aggressive, based on constitutional violations, or prosecutorial misconduct.

We find that Judges and juries will even set “guilty” people free when confronted with the reality that the prosecutor is lying, misleading the public, or engaging in a dishonest or harsh hit job on the defendant that does not justify the charge(s). The public does not have tolerance for federal bullying when they know that the defendant has an honest defense and a team of attorneys dedicated to the defendant’s cause and case.

Nonetheless, federal cases require a skilled trial team to handle both the motion practice and courtroom litigation, whether the defendant enters a plea in favor of leniency at sentencing, or seeks vindication through the American trial process. Just like the feds, defendants must work with a team of advocates who are unified by a common strategy.

A Team-Driven Approach

Unlike thousands of law firms across the state, Rosenberg achieves proven results by using the ‘defense team’ model of advocacy. This is reason the government wins a large number of their false prosecutions: they work as a team. This is also the reason OJ Simpson got an acquittal despite overwhelming evidence against him at trial: he had a legal team with diverse skills, working together towards a common strategy.

With the team approach, one attorney leads the case strategy, while each member of the defense team handles different aspects of the case litigation — from negotiations, to motions, to judicial conferences, to final disposition. We firmly believe that handling a criminal case requires a diverse team with a clear unifying goal. One solo lawyer, working hundreds of client cases alone, simply can not provide you the same level representation when already burdened with hundreds of other clients.

Defending a federal case alone is like going into surgery without a medical team. There is no room for error in your case. Leaving the big decisions up to a solo practitioner, or an inexperience of counsel, or a big name ego, will not guarantee an effective defense.

winning with — or against — the feds

An effective federal defense requires fearlessness, preparation, good faith, and determination in the face of government tenacity. The government is a machinery of unrelenting force, and does not back down based on emotional pleas for mercy; therefore, a rigorous understanding of the machinery, the law, the facts, and the errors within the machinery is critical to disabling the robotic nature of federal bullying, whether in the courts or at the negotiation table.

We believe in holding American government to an American standard of excellence. The United States Constitution never promised a perfect union, but a “more perfect union.” (Preamble, U.S. Const.)

At Rosenberg Law Firm, we set ourselves apart from the competition, because our clients receive the time, skills, and experience of a close-knit legal team of at least three attorneys, each who specialize in motion practice, judicial conferences, and case litigation — ensuring that your defense is intricately crafted from the day of arrest to the day of disposition.

There is no room for error in criminal defense law.
