A true 5 star attorney

I cannot recommend Joe Rooth highly enough! From the very moment I sat in his office for my initial consultation I felt I was in great hands with Joe and his incredible Staff! He is patient and answered every question and concern I had with total integrity! He fought hard for my best interests. I don...'t feel like I mattered, I KNOW I mattered! Joe was a very professional, thorough and tough fighter for all of my interests, start to finish. He got results for me that I didn't even think were possible! I absolutely recommend Joe and his staff to anyone looking for the best possible representation! Dan Jones

He is The best!

THEY ARE AMAZINGLY THE BEST! A work-related accident can change an employee's lifestyle. After a year and a half of dealing with Workers' Comp and changing my initial attorney (Burnetti), I can say that it is very important to have an attorney who cares about your case, who fights for your physical ...and financial well-being, especially with great knowledge and handling of Workers' Comp law, representing you properly. For this reason, I feel the responsibility to RECOMMEND ATTORNEY JOSEPH ROOTH (727)-849-3400 and his office staff. Without a doubt, THEY ARE INCREDIBLY THE BEST. Mr. Rooth answered my call from the first day I called his office, and after a year working on my behalf, I can say that they are a team that explains in detail how the law works. They are RESPONSIBLE, DILIGENT, EFFICIENT, and HONEST. MR. ROOTH always goes ahead of everything and everyone. He will recover the maximum possible amount for your case. MR. ROOTH EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! AND I'M RIGHT WHEN I SAY: NO OTHER ATTORNEY ACHIEVES THE RESULTS THAT ATTORNEY ROOTH DOES! Joyce Coffey

Sincere and he is there for You 100%

I have never met a more "sincere and empathetic" attorney. He is for the people who have been wronged. His process was easy for me, but his fight was tough. He prevailed; and I thank you Joseph! Joseph Rooth is what is Right, and Good for Society.

AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, WONDERFUL

I can’t say enough GREAT things about Rooth Law Firm and the INCREDIBLE team. From the moment I stepped into their office, I was greeted with warmth, enthusiasm, and sincerity. Joe was so attentive, offering expert advice on my care and well being. He EXCEEDED my expectations by far and always wen...t above and beyond. Sharon was always GREAT to deal with as well as she had the patience of a saint with my numerous questions and telephone calls. She also would go above and beyond. Also Becky I have to thank for taking messages and getting my calls returned back promptly. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for Rooth Law Firm and their work is TRULY OUTSTANDING, and I strongly recommend them for any worker compensation needs. If I could give them 100 stars I would!!

Car accident

Joe was a lifesaver for me. Joe did everything for me. All the footwork was Joe and Shianna. Professional was both of them. Very pleasant to work with and couldn’t ask for better. Worth your time to see them. Thanks Joe and Shianna .

"I have known Mr. Rooth for several years. During that time I have referred numerous worker's compensation cases since that is an area that I do not handle in my practice. Joe is Board Certified which is important to me. He has demonstrated superior legal ability and has the highest ethical standards one could hope for. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who has either a worker's compensation claim or for matters involving social security disability claims. He has a superior ability in both areas."
