Ken Rosenberg

Ken Rosenberg is a shady neurotic lawyer who is closely affiliated with Tommy Vercetti and loosely connected to the Forelli family, often serving as comic relief.

Ken meets Tommy at Escobar International Airport and remains his loyal ally throughout the game.

He secures Tommy’s release from prison whenever he is arrested, and his voice on a phone is sometimes briefly heard in these situations (“Tommy Vercetti is an innocent man!” and “Officer, you really think my client was capable of that?” and "Of course he looks like the suspect that doesn't make him guilty you look like an idiot but that doesn't mean you are one " and "Oh officer Tommy Vercetti wasn't even in Vice City on the day of question!" and even “Tommy Vercetti doesn’t even own a gun! how could he do that how could he? now let him go.”)

Tommy can also be heard requesting that the police call his lawyer, and gives Ken’s name.

He has been reported to have problems with controlled substances and egomania.

He is also suspected of cheating on his law school exams and having employed heavies on numerous occasions to intimidate and corrupt juries; Giorgio Forelli, the cousin of Sonny Forelli and a member of the Forelli Family, is a “blue chip” client of Ken’s.

Ken’s inability to firmly take control of situations meant he would also be the subject of jokes on occasions.

One example of this is during the planning stages of a large-scale bank heist, where Tommy jokingly stated that Ken can “wash the money for the rest of the team and keep the drinks on ice” when Ken wanted to participate in the heist.

Ken even mocks himself, saying “I couldn’t intimidate a child — and believe me, I’ve tried!”

Ken has a very poor success rate at trial and is referred as a “bonkers ambulance chaser” who could "defend an innocent man all the way to death row" (as stated by Kent Paul, who later befriends Ken).

After the game's last mission, Ken, being one of the only men to remain loyal to Tommy, is made Tommy's new business partner.

In 1992, however, Ken was sent to a rehabilitation clinic in Las Venturas after his excessive drug usage. After getting out of rehabilitation, Ken attempted to contact Tommy.

However, he was turned away by one of Tommy’s associates as it's assumed Tommy has abandoned him, seeing Ken as more of a liability than help.

Ken later meets Carl Johnson, who hires him as an accountant for his successful music venture, and later Ken then transfers his loyalty to him.

Ken’s character is based on the lawyer David Kleinfeld (played by Sean Penn) in the movie Carlito's Way—both characters look very much like each other, share the same frizzy hair and gaudy suits, and both are rendered increasingly paranoid and incoherent by their cocaine addictions.

The work offices of both lawyers are also almost identical.

Ken is mentioned in Vice City Stories during a news report on the radio after the mission “Nice Package.”

He also works as a legal consultant for one of the cities' radio stations.

It is stated after the reporter talking about the gun fights that he quotes the second amendment and should face charges.
