Who is Joy Rosenthal?

I didn’t start out wanting to be a lawyer. In fact, I was SURE that it wasn’t for me. But I changed my mind about 30 years ago, when I realized that I could use the law to help children and families. I spent 10 years representing children in family court and I was struck by how loyal and kind children were to their family members – and how kids had such a strong sense of fairness, caring, and forgiveness. When I started my own law firm in 2006, I realized that being a compassionate lawyer and mediator for parents would help their children, too. So that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.

What Past Students Have Said ...

“Divorce seemed like an insurmountable life change. Joy’s course helped make all the details more manageable. Divorce still isn’t easy but the class helped me shed the feeling of being stuck as the victim and instead feel empowered to do the work to move forward on my own terms. ”

“Having someone walk you through each step makes the whole process less intimidating and more approachable.”

J.S

“Finding Joy Rosenthal was a gift from heaven because knowledge is power. Joy is very conscientious, she follows through on promises, supplies material, and works hard to explain the process. It is the most important course you can take if faced with a divorce and are not a lawyer yourself. I can talk to my divorce lawyer with knowledge and not waste money.”
