Joseph I. Rosenberg

Forensic practice

Joe has performed economic loss appraisals and testified in state and federal courts for more than a decade. His damages work covers loss of earnings and earning capacity, loss of employee benefits, loss of household services, and life care plan valuations across personal injury, wrongful death, wrongful termination, commercial damages, professional malpractice, mortgage fraud, and FINRA matters.

Signature methodological work

Joe is widely cited for his work on the treatment of pension income under the collateral source rule, published in the Journal of Legal Economics. The rest of his peer-reviewed record concentrates on discount-rate methodology and medical price inflation forecasting, with eight publications across the Journal of Forensic Economics, The Earnings Analyst, and the Journal of Legal Economics, and recurring panel and discussant roles at the major forensic economics conferences.

He served as Director of Financial Data Integrity at Fannie Mae from 1997 to 2008 and as Director of Portfolio Management and Pricing at Fannie Mae from 1988 to 1997.
