I recommend Mr. Rossi wholeheartedly

I am a medical student who was facing potential dismissal with my medical school. Mr. Rossi was extremely professional and helpful with me as he guided me on my next steps and his advice on what to say during my meetings with the school regarding my situation. Because of him, I was re-admitted into m...edical school. I would recommend him and his legal team to everyone. He is a great man and I have a lot of respect for his ability to help his clients in need. An overall great lawyer and a great experience working with him.

Legal advise and direction for a High School student with a 504 plan

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Steve Rossi and his expertise in Education Law. From our very first consultation, he provided the clarity, insight, and detailed guidance we desperately needed during a challenging time. His depth of knowledge is evident, but what truly sets him apart is his genuin...e compassion and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for students facing adversity. In today’s educational landscape—where district, county, and school policies often feel confusing and contradictory—Mr. Rossi is a steady, informed guide through the chaos. Should we ever need to retain legal counsel, he would be our unequivocal first choice. Thank you, Mr. Rossi, for taking the time to truly understand our concerns and advocate for what matters most: a child’s right to learn and succeed.

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
