About
- Brett B. Theis joined Rosenberg & Estis, P.C. in 2008 and is a Member with the firm’s Litigation Department
- Theis is a seasoned commercial litigator and advisor, focusing his practice on the representation of New York property owners and developers in all facets of their real estate matters
- Theis leads a specialized group of attorneys in R&E’s award-winning Litigation Department, where he brings a “value-add” mindset to his clients’ often unique and complex disputes involving real property
