Verified ClientHired Attorney 2021Steve Rossi and his team went above and beyond working on my case. He listened attentively, gave me the best advice possible, and told me exactly what to expect. He literally knew what was going to happen with my case before it even happened. I love how honest, down to earth and straight to the point Mr. Rossi was with me. He doesn't cut corners or play any games and he definitely knows his craft. He helped me save money on expenses that weren't necessary and made himself available to answer my questions day and night. I'm so happy I chose the BEST attorney in the state of Florida! Other attorneys I spoke to wanted outrageous fees, gave me ridiculous outcomes or scenarios and told me false information that led me to Steve Rossi. Skip those other fools! Steve Rossi is the best!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2021Steve Rossi and his team went ABOVE and BEYOND for my case and my needs. Not only did he listen attentively, he made sure he gave me the BEST advice possible for my situation. He even told me when it wasn't necessary to spend the extra money to take things to another level which really helped me save on costs! He walked me through every step, told me honestly what to expect and he was available to me anytime I had a question 24 hours a day. He literally knew what was going to happen with my case before it even happened. I have never, ever had an attorney return my calls instantly the way Steve Rossi did. He made me feel comfortable, reassured me and even made me feel at ease throughout a very stressful process. I'm so glad I hired the BEST attorney in the state of Florida!

Verified ClientConsulted Attorney 2021āMr. Rossi is our Angelā. I consulted Mr. Steve Rossi for my Wife's case who is studying at Nova Southeastern University. My wife was facing discrimination at her college and we were helpless on what should be our next steps. We were in so much distress and had lost all hope and were about to give up on our future. We discussed the case with Mr. Rossi and would like to say how grateful we are that we reached out to Mr. Rossi. Not only he listened to all our problems but also motivated us to not give up and fight for our rights. He listens to our concerns thoroughly and patiently and suggests the next course of action. He is very professional, comprehensive and very knowledgeable in matters related to Education. Mr. Rossiās knowledge and guidance in education law far exceeded our expectations. We are blessed to have him as our attorney. We feel safe knowing Mr. Rossi is representing our case. We are in a far better situation right now. All thanks to Mr. Rossi and team. He and his staff are very professional, responsive and sympathetic. They give personalized attention to their clients. I would highly recommend Mr. Rossi for consulting any educational related legal matters.
