ROGER PERLSTADT is a Partner at Edelson PC where his practice focuses on appeals and critical motions.

Robins, and has argued multiple times before the United States Courts of Appeals for the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Circuits.
Roger has also briefed complex issues at the trial court level in cases throughout the country. These cases generally involve matters of first impression relating to new statutes or novel uses of old statutes, as well as the intersection of privacy law and emerging technologies.

Bucklo of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. He is well versed in legal issues affecting consumers, and is the author of several law review articles on the Federal Arbitration Act.
