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 enjoying fulfilling and
rewarding careers. |
LAP DOG RESCUE OF NEW MEXICO
For over five years I was 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
I have climbed them all. There are 54 mountain peaks in Colorado
that are 14,000 feet or taller. I have climbed them all, some
more than once. I did this over a period of years when I was
not working on client’s personal injury or death claims.
I needed some time away from the accident and death scene to
keep my mind sharp and my body strong. My two dogs Wiley and
Minnie, both of whom I have rescued have climbed most of them
with me. Mountain climbing at high altitude can subject oneself
to severe and unpredictable conditions which has strengthened
my character in the areas of detail, planning, analytical skills
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 from a thunderstorm with extreme temperature drops
to near blinding blizzards and cold.
