Steve Rossi

If you need an attorney for anything related to the Florida School District or an individual school you should have Steve Rossi on speed dial. He is an expert on school law. He spent 2 hours discussing my case with me (at 7pm in the evening). He spent time going over every aspect of the case, what st...eps he was going to take, and what the possible outcome could/would be. He answered every single question, was attentive, and explained the process in detail. I cannot stress how important good representation is. I will forever be grateful for his advice and knowledge he has towards the laws within the Florida school system. Not once did he bring up a retainer or hourly fees. His first priority was making sure I and (my 14 year old son) had proper representation. Thank you so so much, Mr. Rossi!!

I hired Mr. Rossi just two months ago to help me with a certification investigation. When I suddenly found myself in a legal crisis that could destroy my career, Mr. Rossi called me himself and simply listened to me. I mean, wow. They really took it off my hands. Essentially, Mr. Rossi and his team r...eceived all the paperwork I had and I never had to do a single thing after that. The entire staff is superb and most importantly, understanding. In fact, if I had done everything myself, the process would usually take months. Mr. Rossi called me with the exact outcome I needed just a few weeks later. Additionally, I feel more confident going through life now, knowing that I have a net to support me if I come across any legal issue.

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!!

After a person hires an attorney, they ask themselves or say....did I hire the right attorney or I hope I hired the right attorney. When I hired Mr. Rossi and his firm to handle my case, I was concerned because my situation was kind of desperate, time sensitive and sure to be a losing battle. Ed...ucation law is so different from family or criminal law and I had never experienced this kind of case before. After speaking with him on the phone and explaining my situation in despair, he CONFIDENTLY explained my options thoroughly and told me exactly what needed to be done. Having the credentials, background and experience he has, sealed the deal for me and I knew that I was in the best possible hands to get my child back in school and have the School Board reverse their decision completely. I felt confident enough, that I hired him from Orlando to handle this case on the west coast of Florida hundreds of miles away from each other. One of the biggest and most important things I think to any person is being able to pick up the phone or send an email and have any questions or concerns answered. How many times have you heard of the old "you pay a lawyer money and then you never hear from them again" type stuff?? Way to often....Well that's happened to me before. I spoke to Steve when needed to and I had someone from his team assigned to me so when I did have questions, and often,I always had someone call me or email me EVERY TIME within one to two business days, usually one, or that day. if you want to know that before putting up your money, that's what you can expect! Unfortunately my daughter was involved in a fight at school and was charged with a felony and expelled until January 2018. By getting the facts and knowing the law he was able to have the School Board reverse their decision completely and allow my daughter back in school in time for her to graduate and go to college on time. He noticed and pointed out several things that were missing and done wrong, or not even in the law. For example, they denied me my right as a parent to appeal a suspension. He was able to find errors in simple emails that you and me would not see or know to. Now my daughter is going through the diversion program and will graduate on time and have a complete clean record. We are not only satisfied with the results of the case, but 100% satisfied with the manner in which it was handled. I would absolutely advise you to hire him. I would recommend him to any of my family and closest friends. My family owes it to you Steve and your team for doing what I truly thought was impossible! Thank You!!

I reached out to Mr. Rossi after filing Due Process with Palm Beach. At this point most attorneys would not even speak to me because I already started the process on my own. Not only did Mr. Rossi listen to everything I had to say, but he took on communicating with the district to help guide me on ...what steps I should take next. Prior to consulting with Mr. Rosi I fought so many years to advocate on my own to fight for my son who suffers from Dyslexia and I did not want to lose everything by not having legal representation to go against the school board. I do not have thousands of dollars and knew my chances of someone helping me were slim to none. Well with one phone call Mr. Rossi proved that to be wrong. In this day and age when everything is about a dollar you learn to accept that this is how we function in society especially when dealing with an attorney. Not only did he not mention cost he stepped right in to help me. I will always be so grateful for his services and at the end of the day the district has settled with me and are providing my son what he needs. I believe Mr. Rossi communication with them had everything to do with it. No amount of money will show my gratitude. As a parent / advocate I would recommend no one else to help with any educational needs!!!!
