Marc A. Kaufman

Attorney Profile

Marc A. Kaufman is the Founding Partner of Kaufman Rosenthal (formerly Marc A. Kaufman & Associates). His practice encompasses a wide range of negligence litigation, including personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death matters.

From 1973 through 2002, prior to establishing his own firm, Mr. Kaufman practiced at Brumer Cohen Logan Kandell & Kaufman, one of South Florida’s most respected and longstanding personal injury law firms. During nearly three decades with the firm, he represented countless clients in complex tort matters and gained invaluable experience working within a large, highly regarded practice. This background provided him with extensive training and a deep understanding of the litigation strategies commonly used by major defense firms.

Mr. Kaufman’s transition from a large firm to a boutique practice reflects the core reason he became an attorney: his commitment to fighting for individuals who have been harmed or injured. His decades of experience in a major law firm give him a unique advantage in civil litigation, enabling him to anticipate and outmaneuver the defense approaches of well-resourced legal teams.

Mr. Kaufman earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from the City University of New York, Bernard M. Baruch College, in 1969. While completing his degree, he worked for an international accounting firm on Wall Street, gaining early exposure to high-level analytical work. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School in 1972, where he received recognition for his achievements in moot court. He was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1973.

In the summer of 1970, Mr. Kaufman served as a judicial intern with the New York Appellate Court system. This experience gave him exceptional insight into the internal workings of the judiciary, including the factors that influence judicial decision-making. He continues to draw upon these insights to advocate effectively for his clients.

Mr. Kaufman is an active member of numerous professional organizations, including the American Bar Association, The Florida Bar, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, the Broward County Bar Association, the Broward County Trial Lawyers Association, the South Palm Beach Bar Association, and the Miami-Dade Bar Association.

He serves on the Board of Directors of the South Palm Beach Bar Association and has served on the Panel of Arbitrators for the American Arbitration Association. He has also taught continuing legal education courses and authored materials on civil practice.
