Excellent attorney

I have known James Rossi as he represented the majority of the claims I have handled in the past. Even though I no longer hold that position, i know I can go to him with any questions I may have regarding any WC case law. I appreciate his expertise and cordial personality. Always willing to help.

Best of the best

I have worked with James for years now and he is a leader in the industry. James takes time for all of his clients and gets the job done. He is by far the most knowledgeable attorney I have met in the legal field. When it comes to workers' compensation defense and self-insured litigation, James is m...y go to attorney.

My Go-to WC Defense attorney

I have worked with Mr. Rossi directly for 10+ years, and he has become a model of the Workers Compensation representation I look for when hiring an attorney. His training and experience did not start in workers' compensation so he has the advantage of trying cases at even the highest level, having ...his arguments evaluated before SCOTUS. He is very active in investigating the facts of the case, evaluating the legal merits and medical evidence. He is not afraid to go to court to defend our interests, and is pragmatic when it is best use of our money in resolving cases. I would recommend him without any hesitation or reservation for defense of any workers compensation claim.

He is effortlessly decent and kind, which is not easy to come by in this profession. Combine that with his long-standing expertise in workers' compensation defense work, and you would be a fool to look elsewhere for someone to defend you."
