I hold Mr. Joe Rosenbaum in the highest regard, a sentiment that is echoed in numerous reviews on this site and others that laud his professionalism and adeptness. While I concur with these accolades, I believe it is his innate warmth that sets him apart from his peers. In the midst of an extremely stressful situation, each interaction with Mr. Rosenbaum instilled in me a sense of reassurance, security, and overall improvement in my disposition. His approach is not just about the legal procedures; it extends to the well-being of his clients. Contrary to the prevalent negative clichés associated with legal practitioners, Mr. Rosenbaum is the living antithesis. He embodies the quintessential cinematic lawyer who takes on formidable opponents in the quest for justice for those less empowered. His persona is a testament to his commitment to ensuring the best possible outcomes for his clients, reaffirming the nobility inherent in the profession.

Hey Gang, Here's our review of Joseph T. Rosenbaum. We met Joseph when I needed him to represent me for a traffic citation. Joseph is very responsive and very professional and very caring and may I add he is a great listener too. Joseph is very down to earth and very local. After a few moments meeting Joseph I had full confidence in his abilities to represent me in court. I received the citation at the end of November 2022. And just today April 3rd 2023 is when we concluded the case. And we won the case was dismissed with prejudice. That means they cannot try me for the same charge. Yay. During this time Joseph kept in contact with me and I updated him with any new communications with the court. I have all the confidence in Joseph t rosenbaum and you should too. I want an attorney on my side and with a game plan and that is Joseph T Rosenbaum. He has our highest recommendation as our attorney. Sincerely yours, Wesley n Wanda Anzai Mililani Hawaii. April 3rd, 2023

Felt like I was in good hands Joe took the time to meet with me to gain an understanding of the situation I was faced with regarding my employer at the time. He took a good deal of time listening and asking all of the right questions. At that meeting, he made it a point to let me know whether this was something worth pursuing or not. And it was worth it. Joe has your interest at heart at all times and his honesty is refreshing. He is patient, responsive, extremely knowledgeable, straightforward and his mission is to make sure you are protected and that you feel protected. I would highly recommend Joe and his office as they fit the bill of everything I was needing at the time and they totally came through for me.

The Law Office that Joseph is a part of will genuinely have your back! No one wants to require legal representation but when bad times fall on decent people, they deserve to have genuine experts to help them in their time of need. This Law Office is exactly that. My case was handled with great care right from the beginning. Joseph Rosenbaum was very informative and he and his legal team were always available to answer any of my questions. The generosity and knowledge from this law office put my mind at ease. Always quick to respond and always made sure that I fully understood what was going on. I am not only pleased with the outcome but also with how easy the experience was for me. I highly recommend Joseph (of Fujiwara & Rosenbaum) to anyone who is looking for empathetic and professional representation.

Joe is the absolute best. So long as you don't ask him to sugarcoat the truth he can be your best ally. Trust his advice, he will get you results. He won't waste your time, he is honest and straight to the point. I am a business owner who doesn't have a lot of free time, for me, Joe has been nothing short of a miracle worker. From personal injury to employment law he has your business covered. If you are the little guy and are getting picked on, he will stand up for you too. Joe does his best to advocate for the underdog taking a stance against injustice. Expect an honest assessment from him too, he won't just turn you away because he is too busy, on the contrary, if your situation has merit and Joe doesn't have time to take your case, his team will do his best to refer you to someone. Expect a tough advocate, others like to talk-story and beat around the bush, but Joe has the no nonsense approach. Trust that you and your family are in good hands with this guy! If you have questions it doesn't hurt to ask.

Joseph has represented me in court on more than one occasion and got me excellent results each time. Besides his lawyering skill this man defies lawyer stereotypes by truly caring for his clients’ personal well-being. Exception care and honesty. Listen to him. When he speaks it’s like a Tedtalk. Highly recommended.

If you want to have a cool, incredibly intelligent, professional and hardworking attorney to back you up, Joe Rosenbaum is your guy. He is sure to give you the best of service! This is an attorney you can always count on. Joe helped with many traffic cases, but I braved through all of them because I have the best attorney to help me out. He's very easy to talk to and he explains things very articulately. He will treat you like family, and for me that is the most important thing. I feel comfortable and I trust him, and attorneys like that are very hard to come by.

Reliable service throughout the years. Elizabeth Fujiwara has helped me with multiple contacts role and employment increase for the past 30 years. I would have made many bad decisions without her. She has caught many contracts they were not in my favor. And then has negotiated for me in my favor.

Really saved me I can't even speak enough to how much Liz helped me in my situation. She provided a safe place for me and empowered me and enabled me to advocate for myself and take steps I needed to take. She was always available, responding quickly to emails and phone calls, and was so great about checking in with me. I would highly recommend Liz and her team if you are in need of legal services.

Competent and Experienced Attorney Ms. Fujiwara came recommended to me by another attorney who felt that she would be an excellent lawyer to represent me in an employer dispute. She was very knowledgeable, competent, professional, and experienced when it came to employment related issues. There were many times when I felt overwhelmed and anxious about my case but Liz always showed me compassion and understanding about the way I was feeling and let me know that everything would be okay. In the end she was able to secure a settlement between myself and my employer which I was very satisfied with. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth to my family and friends if they were ever in need of an attorney.

Excellent Attorney Ms. Fujiwara’s law firm represented me in 2015. Ms. Fujiwara was very clear and knowledgeable in interpreting the law and in discussing specific issues relating to my case. Ms. Fujiwara has a creative mind and is always aware of all factors related to a case and including seemingly unrelated information, which allows spontaneously add tactics to her defense strategy. Both Elizabeth Fujiwara and her partner Joseph Rosenbaum are down-to-earth, non threatening and non condescending and are also very caring and therefore easy to work with. They are also very dedicated to justice as well as to understanding the letter of the law,

Helpful, compassionate, competent My wife and I hired her to represent us in case involving acquiring a therapy dog in our condo that has a no-pets policy. Their lawyer had us jumping through hoops endlessly until Elizabeth stepped in. One phone call and it was done. She has the knowledge and will to see things through for her clients. Very easy to work with, very personable, yet professional. Highly recommended.

competent and professional Ms. Fujiwara helped me resolve an employment related issue. I worked with her over 5 years so I know her well. She was competent and professional and stuck by me through the many filings that the defense filed to try to outspend us. Without her help, I don't know if I could have survived this very stressful situation. We reached a settlement that was satisfactory and resolved the problem going forward. I would highly recommend her to anyone with an employment related issue.

Knowledgeable, professional and excellent I never had the need for an attorney, so when I got a charge-I contacted Joe after seeing how he helped my friend defend himself against daunting federal charges- and got him off—-I knew I had to call him. Good thing I did, the state was pressing us to take a plea but he believed in my innocence, and thankfully so, we did not accept a plea. The case was dismissed!! I’m forever indebted to his legal knowledge, availability and kindness. He didn’t treat me like a criminal and he proved I am not!!

Joe was recommended to us by another attorney to help with our mom’s case. Even though she has limited English-speaking ability, Joe was patient and kind while gathering all the facts. His communication was excellent and he frequently kept us updated on the case. The outcome was favorable for my mom and we are grateful for Joe’s hard work. We recommend him for any of your legal needs.

Receiving calls from a different attorney about a whistle blower situation I was involved in several years ago, I've reached out to Mr Rosenbaum for a couple of quick consultations and to explore the idea of some independent advice and counsel. Felt so impressed by the initial discussions, especially in contrast to some other attorneys I've spoken with, that I felt a review was worthy. Both calls he took time to answer questions, offered great insightful advice, was pragmatic yet very understanding. I do hope it doesn't lead to further litigation but if it does and I need to retain counsel, this is the guy I'd be hiring.

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.

Attny Joe Rosenbaum and his team went to bat for me when I was alone and seeking help for harassment in my workplace. He is fair, professional, a skilled negotiator, sensitive to my feelings, responds on time, and achieved a more than favorable result that helped put my life back together. They fight for people who are disadvantaged. I could go on and on but leave it to say, they are more than worth a consult if you need help:) THANK YOU JOE!

Absolutely the most down to earth lawyer, I was expecting a high and tight man in a suit with a vocabulary that was a complete different language, but he completely broke it down for me in a understandable format. He stood tall for us and allowed us to get the due justice in the whistle blower case in which we pushed for a quick settlement. It allowed us to avoid the unnecessary fight in the courts for years following and more problems. I hope anyone that has similar issues contacts him immediately to start talking.

Joseph Rosenbaum (we call him “BROsenbaum”) will be my “go-to” lawyer in this lifetime. It’s a crazy world out there, and it’s almost impossible to find an attorney with brains AND heart. A “David amongst Goliaths” — Joe was a man of integrity from day one of representing myself and my coworkers in an intense wrongful termination and whistleblower case with a former employer. He represents “the little guy” with swift, rock solid punches of justice! Definitely the kind of guy I can call up for legal counsel or to grab a beer! The absolute best in Honolulu.

Most coherent lawyer Ever I was expecting a lawyer giving me the typical gobbledygook that is on every single page of the legal journey for my whistleblower case. But he broke everything down and took the time to make sure I understood everything on all the documents. He was so relaxing about all issues that he seemed like a long time friend and fully recommended him if you feel nervous to talk to lawyers. We got the justice we deserved because his strong stance as David against the Goliath. Thank you Rosenbaum aka Bro-senbaum

Joe Rosenbaum of Fujiwara and Rosenbaum, LLLC has been an incredible ally and though I haven't had the opportunity to meet him in person, he has reciprocated all communication in a timely manner. The case in question is a complex probation violation case for a member of our family that crossed at both federal and state levels. Joe's advice and efforts are compassionate, knowledgeable, resourceful, with a strong sense of legal integrity and duty to his client. And his diligence paid off when our family member was released within 30 days. Having earned our trust he definitely gets our recommendation. Mahalo Mr. Rosenbaum for all of your help, your patience, and your aloha.

Joe 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.

As honest and genuine as they come ~ Joesph Rosenbaum is the real deal. He is so smart and quick, I thoroughly enjoyed watching him cross examine the bad guys. But he also possesses the ability to make jurors cry. I had chills during his closing argument and almost started clapping when he was done. Joe saved the day and I couldn't have done it without him.

Mr. Rosenbaum has represented me twice. Once in an employment discrimination issue I had as an employee and once for a bigoted assault at my apartment complex. Both cases were resolved very much in my favor. Mr. Rosenbaum worked tirelessly to make sure my rights were protected and exercised. He is a true warrior for justice and is very smart. I never once worried about my case in his hands.
