Great Representation and Communication

Bradley Rothman and his staff were extremely thorough and timely. The support staff was very attentive and provided excellent communication through all the steps. I was very pleased with Rothman's time and effort he had put forth to ensure his client was satisfied and represented well! He achieved a... good resolution to my case without going to court.

I highly recommended Bradley!

Bradley assisted me with my employment case that was a successful win! I would say working with him the last few years he is very reliable and very competent. The office team as well were always friendly.

Brad got me paid

When my huge insurance company denied my hurricane Irma roof claim...Brad got me a new roof. This guy is the real deal.

Employment Law Question

Bradley and his firm did a great job in getting back to me this week when I asked a question about a possible law issue when I was suddenly let go from a new job after the background check was reviewed. He was very quick to respond (instantly) to my questions and obviously is a great lawyer to work w...ith.

Thorough, Compassionate, and Pleasant to Work With

Mr. Rothman took my "David and Goliath" like employment case against an industry giant. I was so scared but felt the need to pursue them because they were wrong. It is not easy to fight a company with deep pockets and a willingness to fight the " little guy" all the way. Mr. Rothman showed confide...nce in me and my case and did everything he needed to do to get a victory. We won our jury trial 100%. But that was not the end of it. They continued to fight us with appeal after appeal. In the end we prevailed and I must give all of the credit to Mr. Rothman for knowing his job and doing what it takes. During the entire process, I was treated with the utmost respect and compassion.

Business lawyer | Oct 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Bradley Rothman is tough, but reasonable. He is quick to respond to inquiries and diligent about meeting deadlines. He is the kind of person who does what he says he is going to do. This inspires trust and confidence, even when he's an adversary. If he tells you he'll have something to you by 5:00, you can bank on that. He's very thorough and there is a gentility about him that I really respect. I work in Broward and he is in Collier. He never took advantage of the fact that there are some local customs and rules in Collier that I was unfamiliar with. On the contrary, he pointed me in the right direction when he thought appropriate to do so. And finally his even temper helps him maintain decorum and professionalism even in the most stressful and unpleasant of situations. All in all a really good lawyer."
