Robert Rotenberg Biography
Robert Rotenberg (born April 21, 1953) is a Canadian criminal defence lawyer and writer, based in Toronto. He has worked extensively as a criminal defence lawyer from the 1990s. As of April, 2019 he practices as part of the association of Rotenberg Shidlowski Jesin. Rotenberg’s first novel, Old City Hall is an international best-seller. He has written four additional legal thriller novels.
Older brother David Rotenberg also attended the University of Toronto and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. He left Toronto in 1971, eventually making a name for himself first as a theatre director in the United States, and, after he returned to Toronto in 1987, very well respected acting teacher and best-selling novelist in his own right, returning to Toronto in 1987.
While in Europe in the early 1980s, he was the managing editor of English-language magazine Passion, The Magazine of Paris. When he returned to Canada, he and a partner founded and published T.O. The Magazine of Toronto, which ran for six years and folded in 1988 .
After brief stints as a film executive and a CBC Radio producer, Rotenberg returned to law. He and associates Alvin Shidlowski and Jacob Jesin have had a criminal law practice in Toronto since the early 1990s defending, as Rotenberg describes it, “everything from murder to shoplifting.” Cases attracting particular attention have included the defence in 2007 of an Ontario College of Art and Design student who planted a fake bomb and posted a YouTube video about it as part of an art project, which in turn prompted an evacuation during a gala fundraiser at the Royal Ontario Museum. Rotenberg continues to actively practice law while focusing on his writing career, saying he plans to write 20 legal thrillers set in Toronto.
Since then he has published The Guilty Plea in 2011, Stray Bullets in 2012 and Stranglehold in 2013, “Heart of the City” in 2018. All of his books have been on the Globe & Mail bestseller. All are set in Toronto, and feature the same ensemble cast.
In 2013 NPR broadcast a feature story about Rotenberg and Toronto for their “Crime in the City” series, describing how he develops his characters by giving them actual locations in Toronto to live.
Rotenberg’s first novel, Old City Hall, is set in Toronto, and as the name suggests, features pivotal scenes in the city’s historic Old City Hall, now used as a courthouse. The book was published in February–March 2009 in North America and the United Kingdom, and audio and translated international versions have been published in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, Poland, Japan and Israel. Critical reviews of the novel were mixed to positive. Kirkus Reviews wrote: “Both plot and prose are ordinary, but the atmospherics, and especially Rotenberg’s affection for the city of Toronto and the involutions of the law, make this a fast-paced, appealing addition to the [legal thriller] genre. In Publishers Weekly, Sara Crichton declared that the courtroom scenes were the highlights of Old City Hall, while “too many underdeveloped characters and unnecessary subplots may leave some readers feeling the eventual trial wasn’t worth the wait.”
He has written for two episodes for Murdoch Mysteries, “Murdoch Schmurdoch” (2018) & “Manual for Murder” (2019).
