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

Five Star service

Mr. Rooth is a very thorough and competent professional who always had his clients best interests in mind. However, Mr. Rooth would not hesitate to tell me when he thought workers comp was taking advantage of my healthcare. I was always well informed when Mr. Rooth was my attorney and I always felt l...ike I was in very good hands. He never missed a scheduled meeting and he always took my calls. What I especially liked about Mr. Rooth was his ability to remain calm in what I thought was a crisis situations. Mr. Rooth became a key part of my worker compensation case and I owe a debt of gratitude to him for his service. He is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service methods.

To Whom It May Concern: Three plus years ago, I was injured at work, and needed to seek legal counsel, because of the extent of my injuries. Unfortunately, I was roped in by a TV commercial, which I am positive you have seen hundreds of times. The husband, and wife team with their two sons have satu...rated much commercial air time over the past few years, not to exclude their names, and photos plastered all over taxis, and public transportation. After, I contacted the highly advertised TV firm mentioned above, I was assigned to an associated attorney. It was three months, before I actually ever came face to face with the assigned attorney who would be handling my case. The only contact I ever had with the man was through email, and two phone calls. Our first meeting was at a mediation held in St. Petersburg. Attended by my assigned attorney, the employer’s attorney, stenographer, and myself. It was my immediate observation during that session, that both sides wanted this over A.S.A.P. The proof came a couple of weeks after the mediation meeting, I receive an email from my assigned attorney stating he had presented an amount to the opposition for settlement. When I finished reading the email, I immediately “fired” him. The reason being…presenting a dollar amount without my permission, or discussion, is a breech in attorney/client relations, and that is unethical. Being totally discouraged with the assigned attorney experience, and feeling like a fool, at my vulnerability to a TV commercial, I reached out to a friend in the legal loop. My friend has 35 years of experience as a legal investigator in the state of Florida. Upon hearing my story, I was given two high profile Firms name in the Tampa Bay area. I called, and asked, if they would be willing to recommend a workman comp. attorney? On two separate occasions, I was given the name Attorney Joseph Rooth. A week later, I was in Attorney Rooth's office for our first meeting. For these past three years Mr. Rooth diligently fought the battle for me. The opposition is a very “powerful cooperation," here in the U.S., as well as in several foreign countries. The "opposition’s team" used ever type of underhanded, and intimidating tactic you can imagine. The more opposition threw obstacles in our path....the more the challenge was meet with victory by my Attorney Rooth. Never did I have to call, or insist Attorney Rooth take care of anything, he was on it immediately. Last, and most important, my case was just recently settled after three years, and I am happy to tell you that the amount is a "substantial difference" compared to what the TV commercial assigned attorney had submitted. Mr. Rooth is not only "intelligent," professional, and most importantly holds a high standard of ethics, but is also, a kind, and caring man. There are not enough “Thank You” for Mr. Rooth's long hours on my case, his hard work, endurance, persistence, and determination to make the opposition to do the right thing by me, which in turn has secured my future. Attorney Rooth genuinely cares about his clients. I can testify to that fact. I am honored, and happy to endorse Attorney Rooth, and his Law Firm, and his wonderful staff. Respectfully, Teresa
