About Meritxell
Biography
Hi, my name is Meritxell Ros. I was born in Spain and raised in South Florida where I have been practicing criminal defense for more than 16 years. As an Assistant Public Defender, I have handled thousands of cases ranging from Death Penalty cases to misdemeanor DUIs and drug offenses. I have tried more than 50 jury trials including Murder and Capital Sexual Battery trials.
I graduated summa cum laude from Florida International University where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy with a Certificate in Law, Ethics, and Society. I received my juris doctorate degree from St. Thomas University where I was also the recipient of the ABOTA Trial Scholarship.
As an immigrant in this country, I have always had a passion for helping those who could not help themselves. I have devoted my entire career to the zealous advocacy of those accused of crimes. I firmly believe one bad decision does not define a person.

Terrific and caring attorney
I hired Ms. Ros based on the recommendation of a friend. I was very glad I did, as she was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to all of my questions. I had never been arrested before so this was all new to me. She walked me through every step and I highly recommend her.

Knowledgeable & Compassionate
Metrixell was a great lawyer as she knew my whole case, what the best approach would be and she made me feel at ease on my court date. Coming from a background as a Public Defender she was very knowledgeable on the best course of action as she was able to get an even better than expected outcome....
