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.”

In 2007 I decided to dedicate my law practice to the defense of DUI/OVI. I was already a Board Certified Trial Attorney so my trial skills were excellant.

In September of 2012 I successfully completed a Hands-On 40-hour Analytical Chemistry training in Forensic Chromatography VIII: Theory & Pracice at Axion Training Institute, Inc./Analytical Laboratories, Inc.. I still needed the drug expertise to be able to defend any OVI charges in the State of Ohio because the statute refers to "under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs". In May of 2013 I attended and completed a Hands-On Forensic Drug Analysis II course for 40-hours at Axion Training Institute, Inc./Analytical Laboratories, Inc.. I now have more expertise and training than most lawyers and prosecutors to successfully defend OVI cases in Ohio.. I am a certified instructor of NHTSA/Standardized Field Sobriety Test.
