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.

Rockstar. Pure and simple!!

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!!

Mr Steve Rossi

We recently found ourselves in need of legal representation and I am so grateful to have had Mr Rossi on our side. My 11-year-old son was being recommended for alternative school. The school tried to push him away but Mr Rossi and his team did not. When I initially called Mr Rossi I explained our sit...uation and what was going on. He patiently listened to me vent and he decided he would help us. When going over Mr Rossi's fees to retain him I offered a higher amount as a retainer fee but he declined and only asked for half of what I offered. I don't know too many attorneys that would turn down a higher amount to make it more comfortable for their client. He truly wanted to help my boy.Monica and Ella ( Mr. Rossi's assistants) we're in constant communication with me and we're always very pleasant to deal with. Needless to say my son is not going to alternative and I am grateful to Mr Rossi and his team for making this possible. You are truly amazing people. Thank you again so much we are eternally grateful.

Phenomenal

In 2019 I was very upset with my school so I applied to drop out. He helped me with everything I needed. My parents signature, since I am under 18. And he only charged me 500$. I definitely recommend choosing Steve Rossi!

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.

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.
