Richard Bruce Rosenthal Esq

I debated writing this review since my visit to Mr. Rosenthal’s office May 2015 but I don’t want anyone to go through what I did. His «office» is absolutely disgusting and just old, dingy with mounds of moldy crap in all corners. The receptionist wore pajama bottoms and he felt it fit to demean her in front of me because she failed to get adequate answers on the paperwork I had to fill out. Mr. Rosenthal’s office is an old, filthy store front where «LAWYER» is advertised via a sidewalk sign. Basically this man played on my fears and emotions. He told me the person I wanted to be protected against could call the police and have the dog ripped from my arms at any moment. He wanted to pursue the case in supreme court. He was ADAMANT about pursuing (cost $ 3500 to proceed offensively, otherwise $ 365 an hour) because, he claimed, it would look better in court; otherwise I could be arrested immediately and the dog would be confiscated. Thankfully, my uncle is an attorney and was able to tell me the truth about how to proceed with keeping my dog safe so that the bullying, fear-​inducing ways of Mr. Rosenthal wouldn’t have had me shelling out $ 3000 for no REAL reason. Please, don’t waste your time going to him. I know it;s difficult to find a lawyer specializing in animal law and unfortunately he isn’t it.
