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.

Totally worth it

I hired Mr. Rossi to help me fight a unfair suspension from my university. Mr. Rossi was very helpful as well as Melina, they were very supportive and honest throughout the process. He is very experienced, he is the best in his field.

Great and Successful Educational Lawyer

I hired Mr. Rossi to fight expulsion from a university for our son who is pursuing a competitive degree. He was very reassuring and explained the process right from the start. He was always available to discuss strategies and returned my calls and emails quickly. The appeal was a success and we owe s...o much thanks to Mr. Rossi for all of his help. I know that it was his hard work and dedication that led to the reversal of his dismissal. I cannot say enough of Steve’s concern, advice, and expertise. His willingness to listen was genuine and his professionalism was evident in all of his work and in our interactions. During the entire process of our case, Mr. Rossi was there to guide us and made us feel comfortable with every aspect of the process. He kept us up-to-date with new information. His has attention to detail, and great preparation, and in-depth knowledge of the law. Also, we can’t say enough about his office staff especially his assistant Gabriela and the office manger Christine. Both are wonderful and caring. Gabriela was especially available when Mr. Rossi was preparing for the case. I would really highly recommend Steve Rossi’s office . Thank you for saving our son’s future!!

  • 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.
