Saved me from very bad people with a lot of power

In my final days of university, I was faced with a very serious case. Some people who were in positions of power decided to abuse the system, which very easily lent itself to it. I decided to hire a professional and it proved to be the right decision. A lot was at stake in this case, much more than w...hat I had to pay by orders of magnitude. The matters were solved competently and effectively, and I would recommend to all my dear people if they ever have the need for professional help in these matters, hire Rossi.

Back to school!

I hired Mr. Rossi to represent my 6th grade daughter after she made a mistake and brought a knife to school. She was carrying it for protection from a sex offender that had recently moved into our neighborhood not realizing the consequences of her actions at her school. Mr. Rossi drove up to our ap...peal and was professional and well-spoken. Her sentence to an alternative school was modified to "time-served" and she was allowed to return to her school with all of her friends. She learned a valuable lesson after spending 3 weeks at the alternative school. Thank you to Mr. Rossi and his staff!

He’s the BEST!

Steve did an incredible job in helping me back in 2013. I ended up in the absolute best possible position after trusting him to take care of my situation. His knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed. Recently, I needed urgent assistance with getting the court documents for 2013 as I currently live out... of state. His wonderfully polite and professional staff assisted me in procuring the documents. I will be forever grateful to him and his team. Thank you!!

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.

Fraud case

Steve is very professional in all aspects of the legal advise given to me. I have consulted with him many times and hired him on two separate occasions. His financial advise on a fraud case in which I was a victim was handled quickly and in my favor. His background in criminal defense was very ...helpful in advising me on what actions he should take for me. He got quick results in my matter and I was very pleased with the outcome. The second situation in which I was involved in he also handled quickly, I got great responses and follow up from him and his staff and this was also favorable for m.e I have recommended his firm to several friends that have proceeded to hire him and they too have been pleased with his assistance, expertise and professionalism. He a leader in his profession and an asset to anyone who needs his firm.

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.
