Law Offices Of Barry K. Rothman Barry K. Rothman Entertainment Lawyer Law Firm Celebrity Lawyer Los Angeles California
Barry K. Rothman is an attorney who has a license in Los Angeles and possibly New York. He is the definition of the word unethical. I had a high profile legal matter that necessitated privacy and made it clear to him I did not want any sort of publicity on the matter. I did not research him and hired him out of despair as I needed an attorney fast.
Not only did he sell my story to the tabloid but he would double bill me on every bit of information I would receive from him. He would send me notice through email and telephone call for the same information and bill me his padded fees twice. When I asked him to stop doing this he threatened to quit in the middle of my case unless I paid him more money. I did not want to be extorted so I fired him.
It turned out I needed an NDA signed by him to settle my case and he yelled and cursed at me knowing that I needed him for the signature. He was extremely abusive and called me foul names and used the F word and the B word over the telephone saying "he would run me into the ground and let me die there". I was cornered with time and wanted him out of my life so I paid him $2000.00 for his signature.
I later did research on him and found that he was the lawyer who tried to extort Michael Jackson by "developing" fake accusars and lost. The documents about his extortion attempt with Michael Jackson are public information. Just google "Barry Rothman extortion".
The manipulation and deceit that Barry practices has earned him a reputation for stiffing people and Michael Jackson was not the only person he tried to fraud. His credit profile lists more than thirty creditors and judgement holders who were after him. Barry K. Rothman is a certified fraud artist. Barry Rothman is essentially an unindicted felon and the failure to put him in jail where he belongs is peculiar.

Barry K. Rothman (((Redacted Email))) is a liar, a cheat and a thief. He doesn't care about whether you win or lose, all he is concerned with is how to part you with your money in any way he can.

There have been complaints by disgruntled individuals on the internet that Rothman “hands off” his cases to other attorneys in his firm. There is a reason for having a team of attorneys as opposed to just one. Some attorneys have more experience in certain types of law than others. Some attorneys have bar admissions for courts that others do not. Rothman does what good leaders do. He delegates to assure the best chance for clients to win their cases.

Barry K. Rothman is a deceitful hoax
#18Consumer Comment
Mon, January 25, 2016
Barry K. Rothman deceitfully overrides "Constitutional" principles of law, having the underlying motivation to weaken and dismantle "his own clients", legal standing. Such ethical disregard, is something you do not easily conceive from your attorney, (let alone anticipate or plan for). This impending urgency or dire loss becomes an only remaining option, if not to comply and consent to Rothman's scheme. Accordingly, Barry K. Rothman circumvents common law in unilaterally assuring his own personal financial success, long before your legal dispute has a chance of being rightfully litigated.
This is all carried out through and backed up alongside dangerous verbal threats having the clearly stated intention to undermine and manipulate his own client's harm. "Subsequent harm much greater than the one you already paid him to resolve". Trying to understand this (in the moment) is very difficult and conceivably disorienting. However, Rothman's malicious intentions are made very clear. "Or else".
Clearly defined laws ("ethics") are upheld in order to protect the interests of the public-at-large from (Rothman) or any other person's reckless, negligent disregard for others, in a practice of law. Therefore, as a directly related result of such grossly malicious conduct, "individuals and businesses alike" are being continuously ruined. One would then ask? How many more voices and common experiences must petition prior to The State of California and or Attorney General taking the swift and well justified comprehensive account for these similar events.

I agree with the original author, here.
I, too, was and am being harshly victimized by this clown, Barry Rothmna.
The only difference is that I am the little guy with little money.
But you how it is: When you're in despair, you fall prey to the monsters of this world.
I used up my last bit of money to hire him for my court case.
What happened?
HE NEVER SO MUCH AS FILED A PIECE OF PAPER FOR COURT. WE NEVER GOT ANYWHERE NEAR COURT.
He wasted my entire retainer (and it was a pretty huge retainer) on his bogus, falsified billing, WHILE COLLUDING WITH THE OPPSOING ATTORNEY. YEAH, HE WAS IN CAHOOTS WITH THE OPPOSITE SIDE, THE ENTIRE TIME.
I had hired this clown because I needed someone tough ON MY SIDE. I didn't think that a tough attorney would need to stoop so low that he had to work against me, his own client, with the other side.
Evidentally, Attorney Barry Rothman is so unskilled that he DOES in fact work against his own clients. Here is his secret tactic: He demands and collects a huge retainer and then sets out to draw out the case and do literally NOTHING for the poor cclient. Meanwhile, he's actually working against the client by working WITH the opposing attorney. The, whenever the client calls him to ask why it has taken so long for the case to even get off the ground, he blatantly ignores all phone calls and sometimes hands them off to an associate in the office. The associate, the accomplice, here, also continues to fool the client and make up lieb after lie.
MEANWHILE, THE BILLING CONTINUES.
Attorney Barry Rothman is one of the foremost experts in fake billing, overbilling and bullying.
Just like the first gentleman, when I gently asked Rothman why he had charged me for every 2-minute phone call, he proceeded to literally scream at me and threaten to withdraw, knowing how direly I neded an attorney.
Go figure.
He bullied me and I caved in.
THREE MONTHS LATER, STILL, AND MY RETAINER ALL USED UP ON NOTHING BUT B.S. CALLS AND EMAILS--IS IT POSSIBLE TO AMASS OVER SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CALLS AND EMAILS IN ONE MONTH?? Still no sign of court and no sign of so much as a single piece of paper pertaining to court.
I tried calling him. He has supposedly disappeared in a blackhole of meetings that prevent him from ever taking my calls.
If the gentelman, the original author, needs to reach me, please post a follow up here with a way for me to cintact you.

Dear Ripoff Report, The recent above post is completely fabricated and untrue in every sense. As representatives of the entertainment industry, our firm deals with many litigious issues - and not all of them with happy endings, either for our clients or the opposition. This frequently leads to disgruntled people and unsavory characters with an axe to grind, as is clearly the case here. The most glaring fact in this false and bitter post is that the individual posting it focuses on their angry opinion, not any true facts. Statements about our credit are false, about the Michael Jackson trial are false, and and the rest is entirely fabricated opinion. In court cases, not everyone wins - and this person clearly has an axe to grind rather than facts to convey. The Law Offices of Barry K Rothman are above reproach in our ethics, methods, and practices. We do not “curse at clients”, double-charge, or hold our clients and their cases ransom. Our fees are set commensurate to our work and level of effort, just as with any other ethical law firm. Our offices are in good stead with the Better Business Bureau and we are well-respected within both our community and our profession. We welcome readers to visit our web site, read the news about us in the press and whom we successfully represent on a daily basis, and to form their own educated opinion based upon the facts - rather than angry conjecture.
