Our firm’s founder, Rosa Elfant Rickett, graduated magna cum laude from Hofstra University in 1998 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Political Science and Psychology. She went on to study law at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York, earning her Juris Doctorate in 2001. During law school, Rosa worked for the Family Court in Manhattan, which ignited her passion for family law.

After graduating from law school and becoming admitted to practice in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, Rosa served as a Judicial Law Clerk to the Honorable Stephen J. Bernstein in Essex County. During this time, she accumulated a wealth of knowledge about the inner workings of the New Jersey court system, which she now employs to best serve her clients in their legal matters.. Rosa spent the next several years working for some of the most highly recognized law firms in New Jersey. At her first firm, she was able to concentrate entirely on family law, while at her second, she gained invaluable knowledge and experience working in special education law. Over five years ago, Rosa ventured into private practice, establishing the Elfant Rickett Law Firm, where she is able to dedicate herself to her passions for families and children with special needs in New Jersey. Over the course of her career, Rosa has handled a vast array of extremely challenging cases, including international child custody disputes, high profile divorces, and divorce matters involving the transgender population. She has extensive experience with matrimonial mediation but is also an aggressive advocate during divorce litigation, often being called a “pitbull” by former clients.
