AREA(S) OF PRACTICE: Family law

H e's passionate, talented, knowledgeable and committed to his clients. That's how Jordan Rosenberg's peers describe this family law attorney. And it's these traits that have helped Rosenberg consistently earn top results for his clients. Consider the experience nominator, Jeffrey Brend, partner at Oak Brook's Levin & Brend, had while working on a recent family matter with Rosenberg. On this case, Brend was the court-appointed financial ex- pert. As the opposition in the case kept changing facts, Rosen- berg pivoted and turned the opposition party's inconsistencies against them, Brend said. Because of this, Rosenberg earned a strong result for his client in what Brend said was an emotionally charged case. “Jordan has a unique financial acumen and superior litigation skills,” Brend said. “He's a tough but fair negotiator who achieves exceptional results for his clients.” David Kerpel with the Law Offices of David Kerpel, has also worked with Rosenberg, having known the young attorney for more than 10 years. He said that Rosenberg displays a maturity beyond his years while boasting a deep knowledge of the intri- cacies of family law. “Jordan showed an impressive ability to articulate the facts and law of divorce cases from an early age,” Kerpel said.

“I was very impressed with him from the start.” Another impressive trait of Rosenberg's? He is not afraid to take even the most difficult of cases to a hearing or trial if he thinks it will result in a victory for his clients. Rosenberg's peers said that he also takes the time to educate his clients so that they can make the best decisions for their families. “He is smart and takes control of a courtroom while also lis- tening rather than arguing,” said Erin Wilson of the Law Offices of Erin Wilson in Chicago. Maria Barreiro with Chicago's Law Office of Maria E. Barreiro, said that in two of the cases she shared with Rosenberg, he achieved favorable results for his clients that ensured the safety of vulnerable children. This isn't surprising. Barreiro said that Rosenberg boasts an exceptional knowledge of the law in the area of domestic relations. “Jordan strongly and aggressively advocated for his clients' parental rights and financial security at every opportunity,” Barreiro said. “Despite being a tenacious litigator, Jordan un- derstood that his legal arguments and the decisions made in domestic relations matters have a long-lasting effect on the families. Jordan is able to see past the present controversies to the future status of the family.”
