About Scott J.
Scott J. Rothenberg traces his legal foundations to New York. He earned a B.A. from Yeshiva University in 2000 and completed his J.D. at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in 2003. Those years shaped an interest in courtroom work and civil litigation. He entered practice soon after law school and has maintained a steady presence in regional courts since.
He began his career in a family-affiliated practice, joining the Law Office of Allen L. Rothenberg as an associate in 2005. That early period allowed him to learn case handling and client relations on the ground. In 2013 he became a partner at The Rothenberg Law Office, LLP. The change reflected a professional shift from supporting roles to firm leadership and case management responsibilities.
Rothenberg is admitted in multiple jurisdictions. He holds licenses in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He is also admitted to the United States District Court for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. Those admissions allow him to take cases in state and federal courts across the tri-state area and to handle matters that require federal practice experience.
His practice record includes a range of civil litigation matters. He has handled personal injury and related claims, pursuing damages and settlement negotiations for affected clients. He also has experience representing clients through pretrial motions, discovery disputes and settlement conferences. He has taken cases to trial when necessary and worked on complex litigation that involved coordination across jurisdictions.
Rothenberg maintains active involvement in professional organizations. He is listed as a member of the American Association for Justice, the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, the New Jersey Association for Justice, and the American Society of Legal Advocates. He also holds memberships in the New York State Bar, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the New Jersey State Bar. He participates in those forums for professional development and peer engagement.
He practices from The Rothenberg Law Office, LLP and has offices serving the larger metropolitan region. His current work is concentrated on civil litigation matters in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where he represents clients in state and federal court proceedings.
