Long Island native Lee Rosenberg has long been one of New York’s leading matrimonial lawyers, thanks in part to an energy, a natural curiosity and a unique command of the law and how it impacts his clients. He has practiced family law for more than 30 years and assumes a leadership role both in the profession and at his firm. What’s more, at his various predecessor firms Rosenberg has long been counted on for his organizational skills and productivity; today he leads the firm of Rosenberg Family Law.
Rosenberg was born in Manhasset and grew up in Dix Hills. In college, Rosenberg, the son of a commercial builder, envisioned a teaching career - “I loved history and social studies” - but law school beckoned. In 1986 he joined a small Hicksville firm with a general practice that focused on commercial law, real-estate transactions representing Barclays Bank, matrimonial law and personal injury law before transitioning exclusively to matrimonial and family law. After years as co-founder and managing partner at Saltzman Chetkof & Rosenberg LLP, he formed Rosenberg Family Law PC where his focus remains in the field of matrimonial and family law. The firm is based on Long Island and represents clients throughout the New York Metropolitan area . He has been a leader in many professional organizations, including service as Chair of the Nassau County Bar Association Matrimonial Law Committee; a member of the NY State Bar Association’s Family Law Section Executive Committee; positions on the National Executive Committee of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (“AAML”); and currently as President Elect of the AAML New York Chapter. He is also Board Certified in Family Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Peers say Rosenberg possesses a true enthusiasm for the law. He recognizes the personal challenge that each divorce case presents him. “We wear a lot of hats. We must be knowledgeable in many areas including taxation, accounting, the actuarial field, negotiation, even psychology. All those roles make my work that much more interesting.” A frequently published author and lecturer to judges and other lawyers in addition to his litigation and appellate skills, Rosenberg has also been trained in divorce mediation and collaborative law to help find more ways to try and find settlement solutions for his clients.
Rosenberg lives in Nassau County with his wife and son.
