Your Justice Is Our Priority
Mr. Rosenbaum has represented me multiple times. He’s now my lifetime lawyer. He took my case when multiple other lawyers told me no. He listened to me, heard my story, saw my evidence and knew we had a good case. When he said he would work for me on contingency it was a lifesaver. My case was a whistleblower case against my former employer and after a long and stressful battle, we prevailed, just as Mr. Rosenbaum thought we would all along.
He tempered my nerves and anxiety all the way through and gave very practical advice in order to keep me from going off the rails.
I’ll never forget him and the job he and his staff did for me. If you need a great lawyer that isn’t old and pompous and is very down to earth, don’t hesitate to contact Joseph Rosenbaum.
Joseph Rosenbaum represented me in a case that was the result of one of the most difficult events in my life. Not only did he do an outstanding job as my attorney, but he kept a team of people connected, informed, and collaborative in a complex and multi-faceted trial. He is a force to be reckoned with in a courtroom and is only just beginning to make his mark on our justice system. Joe gets 5 stars for being a top notch attorney, but he gets an extra star for his kind, caring and compassionate care of me, on a personal level, as his client. He has restored my faith in always doing the right thing and defies every cliche about attorneys. If you need an attorney who will stand out against all others and stand up to the biggest corporate giants, Joe will be your man.

From Our Clients

“I met Joseph thanks to an unfortunate need with an employer issue. He was by far one of the best lawyers I have ever had to deal with on either side of the employment spectrum. I highly recommend him and his team for any legal advice you may need.”

“I reached out to Fujiwara and Rosenbaum when my employer promised me yet refused to pay for my health insurance when it was required under Hawai’i law. The employer knew that I was taking the job for insurance specifically. I complained and was wrongfully terminated. Joseph Rosenbaum at Fujiwara and Rosenbaum in Honolulu help me rectify this situation. Mr. Rosenbaum went up against one of the top corporate employment attorneys in Honolulu and the case proceeded to resolution with Mr. Rosenbaum winning at the hearing. He provided effective representation and his ethical standard is beyond reproach. I would recommend him to anyone trying to find a competent and passionate civil rights attorney.”

“I had Mr. Rosenbaum represent me in court. We went to trial and Mr.Rosenbaum didnt even have to put me on the stand. Mr. Rosenbaum pointed out to the court that the prosecutor did not get sufficient facts on the record and did not meet its burden. As such the judge dismissed my case even before it was our turn to put on our case. I would recommend Mr. Rosenbaum for any person needing a trial attorney.”
