He has handled jury trials, bench trials, state and federal appeals, arbitrations, and mediations.

In 1981, Mr. Rosenberg was one of the trial attorneys responsible for obtaining one of the first jury verdicts in Los Angeles County against the asbestos manufacturers Johns-Mansville and Owens Corning Fiberglass Corporation.
