Harvey Rosenfield (born 1952) is an American lawyer, author and consumer advocate. In 1985, he founded Consumer Watchdog, a nationally recognized, nonpartisan nonprofit public interest group. He serves as the group's counsel.
He is best known for drafting, and organizing the campaign for, Proposition 103, a ballot proposal that rolled back automobile insurance rates in California.[1] In 2014, the Consumer Federation of America estimated that Proposition 103 has saved California consumers over $100 billion since 1988.[2] Rosenfield's consumer advocacy work focuses on insurance company overcharges, health care patient protection, and other consumer rights.[3]
