Irving Rosner is the head of Dworken & Bernstein’s Workers’ Compensation Department which helps the Firm’s clients who are injured at work.  Prior to joining Dworken & Bernstein in 1986, Mr. Rosner was a trial attorney and prosecutor for the United States Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, in Washington, D.C. and in Cleveland, Ohio.  In Mr. Rosner’s seven year stint (1979-1986) at the Justice Department, he tried complex cases against some of the nation’s finest litigators.  Meticulous planning, preparation, and strong advocacy were essential traits that Mr. Rosner brought with him to Dworken & Bernstein when he joined the Firm.  Those traits enable Mr. Rosner and his group to offer the Firm’s injury clients a higher level of service that distinguishes Dworken & Bernstein from other firms, particularly in dealing with disabling work injuries that have long term consequences.. Irv’s Dworken & Bernstein commitment to you:  “If you have suffered a life changing injury, I commit to provide you with dedicated service specific to your needs throughout all stages of your claim.  I will get to know you and you will get to know me on a personal level.  My group will represent all of the Firm’s injured workers with the same degree of care, preparation and commitment that I do.  That is the Dworken & Bernstein Difference.”
