MORE ABOUT MICHAEL ROSENBERG
|
When I am not working on your claim for personal injury or wrongful death, I am involved in outdoor activities and community volunteer work. I may be involved in small dog rescue, teaching people with disabilities to ski, or climbing 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado. I am the single father of three grown daughters, all of whom have obtained college degrees and are gainfully employed. |
LAP DOG RESCUE OF NEW MEXICO
For over five years I have been associated with Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico. We rescue, foster and place small dogs that have been abandoned, abused or surrendered. I am certified to foster dogs for our organization. Shortly after I started fostering Minnie the Miniature Pinscher, I found that she had become attached to my first rescue dog Wiley, an "American Mutt" whom I had rescued a year earlier. Needless to say, Minnie and Wiley are inseparable from each other as I am from them. Working with injured and abused animals teaches me patience, acceptance and understanding which are traits I bring to handling auto crash and wrongful death claims.
ADAPTIVE SKI INSTRUCTOR
I was an Adaptive Ski Instructor with the New Mexico Adaptive Ski Program for sixteen years. I now teach on an as-needed and when-requested basis for people with disabilities to ski, not competitively but recreationally and therapeutically. I was a volunteer instructor with the New Mexico Adaptive Ski Program and I was also the Vice President of the Board of Directors for over ten years. This past ski season, I worked with disabled war veterans at Snowmass Mountain, CO. My students have ranged in age from twelve years old to middle age adults. Working with students who are visually impaired, cognitively dysfunctional, paraplegic or quadrapelegic requires a great deal of sensitivity and patience, which has served me well in dealing with clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries from automobile and truck accidents.
THE COLORADO FOURTEENERS
There are 54 mountain peaks in Colorado that are 14,000 feet or taller. I have made it a goal to climb all of them. I do this when I am not working on client’s personal injury or death claims. I need some time away from the accident and death scene to keep my mind sharp and my body strong. Thus far I have climbed 23 or almost half of the 54. I do this with my two dogs Wiley and Minnie, both of whom I have rescued. Wiley has climbed sixteen fourteeners and Minnie has climbed ten. Mountain climbing at high altitude under often severe and unpredictable conditions has strengthened my character in the areas of detail, planning, analytical skill and fortitude. These are acquired skills that are transferable to my personal injury law practice. I know how to handle an injury case or death claim that has many unexpected twists and turns to it, just like a high mountain trail has many unexpected twists and turns in a summer thunderstorm or near blinding blizzard.
