About Robert Todd
Robert Todd Rosenblatt trained at Brooklyn Law School, where he received his Juris Doctor in 1985. He arrived on campus in the early 1980s at a time when legal education was changing and left prepared for trial work and transactional practice alike. The law degree set the stage for a career that has balanced courtroom work and local public service.
Early in his career Rosenblatt built experience in landlord-tenant matters and real estate disputes. He spent years handling cases that ranged from administrative hearings to contested matters in civil and supreme courts. Those early assignments required learning local housing rules, court procedures and practical problem solving. They also shaped the casework he would continue to handle throughout his professional life.
Parallel to his legal work, Rosenblatt served as a councilman in the Borough of Woodcliff Lake. That role placed him in municipal government and local politics. He worked on public issues facing residents and collaborated with fellow officials on ordinances and community services. The time on the council added a public-facing dimension to his practice and informed his understanding of how local regulations affect property owners and tenants.
Rosenblatt's practice has been closely associated with landlord-tenant representation. He has staffed a Landlord Tenant Hotline and served as counsel in both summary possessory proceedings and broader real estate litigation. His courtroom experience includes civil and Supreme Court litigation, where he represented clients in contested matters that involved lease disputes, eviction proceedings and contract enforcement. The litigation work has required attention to procedural detail and the ability to present factual records clearly to judges.
Colleagues and clients have encountered Rosenblatt in multiple settings: at the intake line for hotline callers, in a municipal meeting room, and inside courtrooms. He moves between advisory and adversarial roles while maintaining a steady practice of landlord-tenant and real estate law. He remains admitted to practice in New York and continues to handle matters that arise in housing and real estate courts. His current practice concentrates on landlord-tenant law, real estate transactions and civil and Supreme Court litigation.
