Why The Dog Lawyer

Protecting your pet is personal. When your pet is endangered or harmed, you would do everything to protect them. That is why Richard Bruce Rosenthal, Esq., The Dog Lawyer, exists. Backed by passion for the law and many decades of trial expertise, Richard Bruce Rosenthal, Esq. is uniquely skilled at protecting what matters to you most.

No Pet Is Safe, Unless All Pets Are Safe

Richard Bruce Rosenthal, Esq., the dog lawyer, embarked on this mission when Lexus, a greyhound, was put on a terminal list-marked for execution. Greyhounds have been trained for millennia to hunt furry things. Lexus killed a Pomeranian when she was left unleashed and unattended. Lexus was innocent at heart but the system was step up in a way that the owner would not be able to defend her life. Richard Bruce Rosenthal, Esq. used his criminal defense and family law experience to successfully defend Lexus.

Lexus defense garnered national attention and many other pet owners contacted the dog lawyer.

Now Richard Bruce Rosenthal, Esq. uses the same strategy he created to defend Lexus to defend all pets.

Animal Law is Changing

Dogs today are able to be protected by orders of protection, they can be the beneficiaries of trusts, be represented by counsel and more and more Courts are beginning to acknowledge the right to emotional damages for harming them. Richard Bruce Rosenthal, Esq. has set precedent in multiple states for overturning breed specific legislation in Wisconsin to stopping Ohio from seizing dogs.

Not Just Dogs, All Animals

Client Testimonials

Where do I begin? My dog was taken away from me by my ex. A dog we adopted together but I was really the one who cared for the dog daily. I felt my ex did this for spite.

I turned to Mr. Rosenthal who right off the bat told me this could go one of two ways. It could settle right away or go to full blown litaigation which I was prepared to do.

Mr.Rosenthal calmed my fears, took my calls and when he couldn’t, he always called me back.

Within 2 months my baby was back home with me.

I highly recommend this very knowledgeable and savvy attorney.

Thank you, Mr. Rosenthal.

Bugsy thanks you too.

I consulted and hired Mr rosenthal to help me with my divorce, custody and custody of my dogs. My ex was uncooperative the entire time. But even with the ex being as difficult as he was, the whole process went pretty smooth and Mr rosenthal was amazing during the whole process. My ex settled and said to me after that HE should have hired Mr rosenthal.
