Workers Comp
Joe and his staff were great to work with, and very professional! I was injured at work with a slip and fall accident, Joe was able to get me the medical attention I needed not what the company doctors tried to pull. He was also able to get me a fair compensation for my injury. I would highly recommend Joe Rooth to anyone who has been injured at work, he will do a great job for YOU!!

Great attorney and person.
I m kinda trying to think of the right words to say, he is an awsome straight forward VERY intelligent lawyer. And he don't stop there, he realy cares. No pressure with him , and will keep you informed on everything. I've called him out of no where many times, he has even called me back on his own time. He even called to see how I was with no other reason. I never met one of his aids but even the quit one was always quick to help and so nice. His other aid , well she goes way out of her way to to anything to help. One of this nicest people I've ever met. What I'm saying is Joseph Rooth is more then the best attorney you could want. Thank Mr. Rooth and wonderfull ladies .

Very Satisfied client
I was extremely pleased with the way my workers comp case was handled by Joe Rooth and his friendly staff. Every time I needed their help, they were right there to answer any question I had. When I received anything from workers comp, Joe had already addressed it and started any actions that were required to resolve the problem. I will not hesitate to recommend the Joe Rooth law firm to any of my friends and family.

A lawyer who cares.
Three and a half years ago I was hurt at work and I knew I should hire a lawyer. I met with Mr. Rooth and during the whole meeting I knew he would handle my case. I had 12 surgeries and he made sure I was taken care of through the whole ordeal. He made sure that if I had a question he had the answer. I could sit here and tell you a hundred times about how good he was but I think I should just leave you with this. If you want a lawyer who will always put you first call Mr. Rooth. I promise you he will do everything in his power to get you what you deserve. Jeff

A+ for my SSD
Joe Roth is the best. He did what I couldn’t do for two and 1/2 years of applying for SSD. I first met with him in September 2015., if I am recalling the month correctly. I finally had a hearing to meet with a Judge in December 2016 along with Joe. He had almost 3 reams of paper of my medical records. When we met with the. Judge it wasn’t sure what was going on when Joe was called to meet with the Judge without me. Joe returned to the room where I was waiting. Then we were both called to meet with the Judge. The Judge granted my disability application. It’s because Joe was so thorough in collecting my medical records. I was very impressed and appreciated the work he did to get my disability payments. Joe was well worth the commission he received from my benefits. I recommend anyone to contract Joe for any of your needs. It has taken me almost 4 years to type this review because of my depression and physical and mobility problems.

An Attorney who works for you
Attorney Joseph Rooth and his office staff always treated me good. When I call in to get updates they were only to helpful. Mr Rooth work hard to gather all necessary medical information from all my doctors. When the time came for my hearing Joe did his best for present my case to the judge. Joe handled my workman's comp and my social security disability. If you're looking for an attorney who gets results call attorney Joseph Rooth, I'm glad I did!

The Best In Tampa Bay! Highly Recommended By Many
I had a Worker's Comp. case that was a little different than most. The claim was going smoothly, however I decided to do a little research regarding Worker's Comp. I discovered that many of those injured were not always treated fairly and were in some cases taken advantage of. I realized that I may not need a lawyer now but may in the future. I did not want to be rushed and end up with an attorney that might not be as competent or caring as I desired. I contacted a large, prestigious law firm that was near and had handled successfully some high profile cases. They advised me that their practice did not include Workers Comp cases. When I asked if they could recommend someone, they responded without hesitation, " Joe Rooth, he's very very good "and that if they needed a Worker's Comp. or Social Security attorney he is the one that they would use. I read 24 reviews about Mr. Rooth and everyone was a five star review. Before personally contacting Mr. Rooth, I decided to at least speak with a couple of attorneys in my area first. They both seemed fine. When one of the attorneys that I spoke with asked if I was ready to retain him I advised him that I wanted to contact a couple of other lawyers before I made my decision. He asked who the other lawyers were that I had planned to talk with and I advised him Mr. Rooth and another attorney. He said that if he needed a Worker's Comp. attorney that he, also, would retain Mr. Rooth. He stated that not only is he excellent but that he is a great guy, as well. He seemed proud to know him. Discovering that Mr. Rooth only took Workers Comp. and Social Security cases, as well as, the above mentioned recommendations, I knew that Mr. Rooth was the attorney that I was looking for. Upon meeting with Mr. Rooth, my impression was that he was very honest, knowledgeable, professional and someone who knew all the tricks that Workers comp sometimes uses to reduce the claim amount. He also impressed me as someone who truly cares about his clients and will work hard using his skill and experience to produce the most positive results. He put my wife and me at ease and not only answered all of our questions but I learned a lot more than I expected during the consultation. He informed me that I had done my homework and didn't need an attorney at this time, but if I felt that I needed his help in the future, to not hesitate to contact him. I suspect that some lawyers might not have said this but instead been eager for me to retain them. His saying this was just another reason I felt confident that he was the best attorney in the area for my case. If I didn't need anymore reinforcement for my decision, I learned that Joe was chosen by his peers ( other attorneys ) to be ranked first as the finest Worker's Compensation lawyer in all of the Tampa Bay area in Tampa magazine. Remember anyone can buy a billboard ad or some other form of advertising. By far the best form of advertising that more accurately reflects the truth is word of mouth advertising. You cannot buy this type of advertising. If you have a Worker's Comp. or Social Security case, save yourself some time and anxiety and look no further than Joe. In my humble opinion based on my research and meeting with Mr. Rooth, he's simply the best.

Very pleased client.
Attorney Rooth agreed to represent me in a Workers Compensation case when I thought no one could help. My experience with Mr. Rooth was positive from the first moment we consulted. He was very attentive, thorough and helpful throughout a very difficult time. Both Mr. Rooth and his staff always responded quickly and effectively with any questions or issues that arose. I’m so grateful for all their hard work and very pleased with the outcome, blessings to the entire staff. Now I can see why there are so many positive testimonials about Attorney Rooth. I highly recommend him.
