NY Divorce Consultants Fighting the corrupt New York Divorce Industry!

Martin J. Rosen

I've posted articles about abusers of the divorce industry but somehow I've never mentioned one of the biggest offenders in Westchester - Marty Rosen. Marty Rosen represents everything bad about the NY Divorce Industry rolled into one rich, dishonest manipulator.

Rosen's reputation is well known in the annals of NY Divorce - and yes, the pun is intended. A quick Internet search will see how poorly Rosen has done as an appeals lawyer. Reading his poorly written and researched legal filings is like reading the writings of a junior high school student and seeing the massive amount of appeals Rosen loses, which is public info, it's clear that he's not an effective advocate - though he's an effusive biller. However, losing cases isn't a metric of a bad lawyer, the true record that describes Martin Rosen is the way he manipulates the system and exploits his extensive experience in the court system to manipulate complacent and open handed Judges and Court employees in Westchester Supreme Court house to look the other way away from his incompetency and unethical behavior.

Rosen, like other money grabbing denizens of the hallways of the 9th floor of the Westchester courthouse such as Guttridge,Miller, Most, etc., has a free ride to behave however he likes while billing a minimum of $350 an hour. A litigant stuck in a fleecing by a NY Divorce lawyer in contested divorce is stuck until they lose their kids, possessions, future earnings and family assets. There's nothing Rosen and his friends won't take after they have you in their grips and they'll stop at nothing because no one will or has the authority to stop them. So an unethical person like Marty Rosen will lie, manipulate the system, prolong cases and submit false documents to the court until there's no more money to take. Why? Because middle-class divorcees are easy targets, no one has the authority to stop crooked Lawyers in NY and no one in a position of power in NY is aware or interested in this fraudulent system. Furthermore the Industry is beyond the authority of any law enforcement body so the Supreme Court System of NY, free of the most basic protections of the US Constitution more closely resembles the courts of a Socialist country than a constitutional democratic system.

So back to Rosen. If I just call him bad names I'm committing libel but when what I say is true, it isn't. In my dealings with Rosen he went to great lengths to hide cash money he was receiving from a wealthy family member. He submitted false statements of networth during the trial where he intentionally excluded massive payments to himself. This isn't a crime in New York so while it's morally reprehensible to submit false documents it's part of the culture of dishonesty that is rife and openly on display in NY Divorce Court. Judges don't care, administrative judges don't care, appeals judges may or may not care but it costs over $100,000 and years of time for them to see the shoddy work so it's usually buried forever. Certainly the NY State funded attorney discipline system sanctions lying and unethical behavior based on their abysmal prosecution statistics of less than .05% prosecutions of attorneys. The NY Attorney Discipline System represents one of the worst records of any prosecuting body of any government in any country, prosecuting less than .05% of cases it sees, yet it' viewed as effective and is solely funded by less than 10mil of taxpayer funds. Scum like Rosen are well aware that friendly judges and their legal secretaries are in his control and that he has more of a chance of being hit by a train than being prosecuted by his friends in the Attorney Discipline system so manipulation is easy in the back rooms of the court. That's what your paying creeps like Rosen for - access.

Rosen flat out lied about multiple material facts in trial and with a complicit and friendly Judge he never suffered any sanctions. Lying in court by attorneys is standard practice in NY Matrimonial courts so again, while this is reprehensible, there are no penalties or discipline system for Rosen or other dishonest lawyers like him nor are there objective monitors of the system to ensure that pro SE aren't being railroaded by manipulators in kangaroo courts

A reputable Judge who volunteers for the CAMP program in NYC described Rosen as a 'blustery hot head' in a conference I had with thim, but this is a gross understatement. I remember sitting in Rosen's office where behind closed doors, as his portly body shook and spittle flew, he screamed at me for over an hour to accept a ridiculous financial proposal. I came to mundanely sign a completed custody agreement but he wanted theater for his client, and she got it, and I got the laugh! His screaming and threats were disgusting me until I realized that the actor was simply entertaining my ex who had paid $700 or more for me to watch the fool scream. She got her monies worth and Rosen got a nice vacation home from it but it was like being stuck in a bad Harvey Keitel movie.

Rosen refused to hold settlement conferences and slammed the phone down on me multiple times as I tried to settle as pro se. Rosen wasted 4 days of tax payer money in the Supreme Court in the biggest sham trial one could imagine in a democracy but he was getting paid, so he didn't care. With so many budgetary problems in NY State a complicit Judge allowed Rosen's billing orgy to consume 4 court days and tens or hundreds of thousands of ancillary court costs against a pro se litigant who had a negative net worth and no assets for a trial on finances.

The pinnacle of Rosen's unethical behavior was how he rewrote the judges decision into a judgement, adding in an extra 80,000 for his client. It took me a year and 3 motions for the collusive judge to admit that Rosen flat out lied in his manipulation of the judges decision but finally I won that issue. But meanwhile Rosen's unethical behavior and lies to the Judge were rewarding for him, netting over 10,000 in legal fees.

Rosen and scum like him will continue to destroy families, wreck the homes of children and use the court system as a strong arm to collect massive billings until New York gets serious about court reform. There's no hope of that so I can confidently say that Rosen will continue ripping off innocent victims until he retires, which has to be coming any day, into his multiple vacation homes and lives it up on the college funds, retirement accounts and family funds he pilfered legally over the last 40 years of his home wrecking career.
