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!!

I’m a teacher thanks to 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.

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.

THANK YOU ATTORNEY STEVE ROSSI

I highly recommend Attorney Steve Rossi because he is the BEST in the business. I hired Mr. Rossi after I was arrested for domestic violence and charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor. I was devastated and my professional career seemed over but he reassured me that he would fight for me. After... about a month, Mr. Rossi was able to get all my charges dropped and I didn't even have to go to court. Trust me, you are in good hands; he has the knowledge, skills, and expertise to vindicate you.

Education Case

My Child was facing an expulsion and it took my family for a whirlwind. I didn't know how to fight this alone, so I sought out Mr. Rossi, which was the best thing I could've done. Mr Rossi was extremely knowledgeable and direct. He knew exactly what needed to be done and made it happen. Mr Rossi ...made my family feel comfortable and earned our trust very quickly. Mr. Rossi took the time to explain what was going on, what we needed to do and how. He is amazing at what he does. Mr Rossi always made time for me and kept me sane with all the stress I was facing. He was always honest and believed in our case, which was important to us. I would highly recommend Mr Rossi! Things worked out in our favor and it felt like all the weight of the world was lifted. Steve, if you're reading this, you saved a Childs life. Thank you.

Avvo Rating

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.
