About us

Mike Rosenbaum grew up in Carver, Oregon, a small town outside of Portland near the Clackamas River.  He attended Carver Grade School and then St. Johns Grade School in Oregon City.  Mike graduated from Central Catholic High School where he was elected student body president in 1968.  Prior to that he was elected Beaver Boys State Governor in 1967, for the State of Oregon.

For college he went east, where he graduated with honors from Harvard College (1972), and Columbia Law School (1975).  He was one of two Oregon finalists in the Rhodes Scholarship competition.  After graduating from Columbia Law School he went on to clerk with the Honorable Otto R. Skopil in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.  After that, he practiced in the litigation department of Stoel, Rives before going into private practice for himself.  He has been a member of the Multnomah Bar Association CLE Committee and a frequent speaker at CLEs on litigation related subjects.  On a national level, he was the Chairperson for the American Bar Association Committee on State Legislation.

His emphasis is on products liability, personal injury, and general business litigation (which he does for his clients and other lawyers.)

For more than 30 years, he has represented businesses, injured people and their families.  He has received the highest rating by Martindale-Hubbell, a national directory for lawyers, where lawyers are ranked by their peers.

He is involved in several non-profit organizations and enjoys time with family and friends doing mostly outdoor activities; including whitewater rafting, hiking, and skiing.
