Where do I begin? My dog was taken away from me by my ex. A dog we adopted together but I was really the one who cared for the dog daily. I felt my ex did this for spite.

I turned to Mr. Rosenthal who right off the bat told me this could go one of two ways. It could settle right away or go to full blown litaigation which I was prepared to do.

Mr.Rosenthal calmed my fears, took my calls and when he couldn’t, he always called me back.

Within 2 months my baby was back home with me.

I highly recommend this very knowledgeable and savvy attorney.

Thank you, Mr. Rosenthal.

Bugsy thanks you too.

This man is the reason my dog is home with my family. I’m so thankful for him. Definitely a great lawyer. Would recommend.

I think The Lexus Project which was started by Mr Rosenthal pioneered the way for dog defense. Not many lawyers know this aspect of the law which falls under the NYS Market and Agricultural laws. I have not had the pleasure of doing business with him but if my dogs were in jeopardy of being permanently taken away or euthanized? This is the organization and the person I would want working for me.

Richard helped me with my divorce and closing (double). He was professional, Kind and always made himself available to me. 5 stars all the way.

He is a very nice guy i would date him.

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.

Excellent job, highly recommend!

Richard Rosenthal is very professional in his dealings with people. He is extremely helpful in what is often an anguished time for his clients. His willingness to assist anyone is outstanding. I would recommend him to anyone who has a dog in trouble.
