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

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 .

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 req...uired to resolve the problem. I will not hesitate to recommend the Joe Rooth law firm to any of my friends and family.

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 recor...ds. 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.

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."
