Great Attorney Money Well Spent

Sometimes administrative proceedings can be confusing and scary, not if you hire Mr. Rossi! His many years of experience really separate him from the competition. Who better to defend you than a former FBI agent who knows the ins and outs of both criminal and administrative situations. If you want so...meone who cares about your individual situation and will make time to really appreciate the circumstances then this is the team for you! Great experience, if you have a doubt you should do a consultation!

Best Lawyer, highly recommend!

Mr. Rossi and his team were amazing! I had an allegation against me, and for the free consultation, he talked for me for over an hour trying to get all the information and wanting to learn and succeed in this case. During the process for the meetings and hearings, he was in attendance and guided me t...hroughout the entire process. Everyone in his office was so sweet and nice, they always knew the up to date info on the case, very cooperative and worked with me on pricing to hire him. He has a lot of experience and I could definitely identify and realize his qualifications throughout the process. I definitely will be calling him if I ever need another lawyer again.

Education Law Assistance for My Son

Steve and his team were the best! He called me back on a weekend when I could not get ahold of anyone and showed up Monday morning short notice on behalf of my son and our family...wonderful people. Could not have asked for better results. Very knowledgeable about education law, kind and responsive....

Knowledgable, helpful, and gets results

We hired Mr. Rossi after our daughter was facing suspension and possible expulsion by the school. We are very pleased with the way Mr. Rossi handled our daughter's case and appreciated the education he provided on the inter-workings of the public school system. The case was quickly resolved to our ...satisfaction. Mr. Rossi was extremely helpful and responsive to all our questions. We would definitely hired him again and would recommend him to anyone who needs an Education Attorney.

Best in Florida!

I am highly satisfied with the services provided by Attorney Steve Rossi! He represented us regarding a school expulsion. He answered all of our questions and his team of assistants were professional and knowledgeable. Attorney Rossi is an expert at what he does and was able to get the expulsion reve...rsed. He keep us informed at each step, answering our questions promptly, and guiding us to the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Rossi as a respectable Florida attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
