What Does A Judge of Probate Do?

Probate Court is often where families turn during life’s most emotional and challenging times.

Meet Max

Judge Max L Rosenberg proudly serves as Probate Judge since 2019. As a long time resident of Stratford, Max and his wife, Osi Rosenberg have called Lordship home since 2004. They have raised their sons, Zohar & Asher, who recently each completed their Eagle Scout projects beautifying Clover Field and Short Beach by planting trees. The Rosenberg's dogs, Eureka, Ambrosios, Argos, and Fizzgig can be spotted occasionally visiting the court room and greeting clients at the law firm. The Rosenberg family raises a flock of backyard chickens that are fun for the neighborhood kids and always keep the yard an interesting scene. Playing family games, going to concerts, acrylic painting on canvas, singing karaoke, or reading on the beach with fishing poles in hand are common downtime activities in the household.

Judge Rosenberg can be spotted outside the court room, walking his dogs, visiting local book boxes, meeting his neighbors at tag sales, at trivia nights or singing karaoke at the VFW. Another of Max's passions is helping families come together. You may find Max preforming marriage ceremonies at the beach, Boothe Memorial Park, and even in his own backyard.
