Great attorney

I received a speeding ticket and needed someone to handle the matter for me. Mr. Rossi took care of my ticket quickly and efficiently. He stayed in contact with me and let me know when the matter was handled. I received no points and a significantly lower fee than the actual ticket amount. I would hi...ghly recommend Mr. Rossi. Great lawyer.

Superior Service on Auto-Related Issue

I retained Mike Rossi to assist me with a moving violation I received in conjunction with a car accident that I was involved in. Mike was extremely professional throughout the whole process and advised me what I needed to do every step of the way. He represented me at the hearing and was successful... in getting the points removed from my record and several months to y the fine. I would retain Mike Rossi for any vehicle related problem or personal injury case and know that I am in the best hands possible.

Took care of everything

Mike was efficient and effective in handling my traffic citation. I was hoping only to have the points kept off my record but he saw the case dismissed. I would certainly hire Mike again and recommend his services to anyone.

Best in Tampa

I have lived in Tampa for 20 plus years and have had the privilege of meeting a lot of people in the area over that time and Mike is one of the guys that always stands out both as a great guy and great lawyer. I have had him take care of a couple issues for me and he is always there to talk and comm...unicate which is un-heard of in his business. So far he is 2 for 2 with getting me a favorable decision. My cases were small but he treated them as if they were as important as someone who had a lot to lose or gain. Might sound funny but I equate finding a great lawyer like finding a great mechanic. Not sure if I need to explain that statement. Mike is that guy you always trust and never second guess!

Integrity all the way

Mike handled each step of my case with integrity, with me personally and with all of the other parties involved. He always did the right thing. I honestly felt like he put my needs and interest above his own gain, like he would for a family member or friend. He cares about his practice and wants peop...le to have a very positive experience working with him. There were times when I had many questions, and instead of answering them in the car on the way home at the end of the day, he invited me to his office so he could patiently walk me through all the moving parts. He has also worked for insurance companies and is very knowledgeable about the inner workings. Because of all these things, I felt very confident working with Mike. I was very happy with our results too. I was introduced by a mutual contact, and I would recommend that anyone work with Mike.

Mike has the respect of his peers and the judiciary. Mike does very little advertising and most of his clientele is gained from good word of mouth. Mike always puts everything into obtaining the best possible outcome for his clients because he knows that the best form of advertising is success.

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.
