This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Top Tampa Business Attorney

Craig is the one of the best in the Tampa Bay area. He has handled numerous cases for myself and my business. He has extensive knowledge in healthcare and contract law and has helped us for the last 12 years. His advice is second to none and his fees are reasonable. I recommend him for all your busin...ess needs!

Extremely skilled subject matter expert and negotiator!

Mr. Rothburd is highly knowledgeable in his field. I would consider him to be not only a subject matter expert but he's also well respected in his field. This is important because he had a relationship with the other party's attorney. This allowed them to unemotionally negotiate my case and come t...o an equitable agreement that worked for all parties. He's extremely direct and factual about the circumstances. He doesn't create unrealistic expectations and works to get the best results for the clients, and not his own personal gain. I'd not only recommend him but I'd use him again if ever in the same situation, which of course I hope never happens again in my lifetime. I'm also very knowledgeable about contracts and labor law and a tough judge of character and performance. I've had to use several attorney's for various occasions throughout my career as a CEO just in my daily general business practices and Craig falls into the top 1% of the attorney's I've known and or worked with. He and his assistant, Maria are very responsive and have great follow up. They got it done in the time frame they committed to and continued to follow up through out the entire case which was just finalized on the exact date Craig requested it to be by the way. Great job by both he and Maria!

Enthusiastically recommend

We have relied on Craig for many years for real estate, corporate and other work. Beyond having an encyclopedic mind for the law, he is outstanding at the strategic decisions that need to be made both from a legal and business standpoint. We turn to him first on every matter, even if one in an area... of expertise we will know will require a specialist in another area, because we have such confidence in his instincts and judgment. I have a law degree myself and while I never practiced law, I have had numerous occasions in various positions or businesses to work with attorneys, and I have never encountered one I thought was better.
