Recognizing that most federal cases are resolved by plea agreement, the firm places great emphasis on pre-indictment investigations in order to gather beneficial information with which to reduce or eliminate forthcoming charges. At the same time, this effort allows for trial preparation where required.

Avoiding public exposure, licensing issues such as professional censure or suspension, are issues of important consideration to which we pay particular attention during this pre-indictment period for the client’s wellbeing, both financially and personally.

For nearly 50 years’ Michael J. Rosen has devoted his career to challenging the government’s allegations in federal criminal cases across the county.

Michael Rosen joined his father, E. David Rosen, in private practice for 25 years. Together with his brother, Larry, the Rosen law firm was engaged in some of the country’s most important and high-profile criminal cases and trials.

Being ready, willing, and able to try a federal criminal case leads to two results:

1. Presenting the client with the best possible trial defense OR
2. Successful pre-trial resolution

Understanding that trials are costly, time-consuming and anxiety- inducing. “If you really work a case hard in advance of trial, you will put the government in a position where they will either dismiss the charges or make your client an extremely good offer. Short of that, you go to trial and win.”
