The case involves a 41-year-old man in Deerfield Beach, Florida who was confronted at his front door by two neighbors that were seeking to confront the client about whether he had been “talking sh**” about them. One of the neighbors, after yelling profusely at the client, started punching and hitting the client in the face right outside his front door, refusing to leave.
Our client was an out-of-state driver from Georgia visiting Florida when he was arrested for DUI. Typically, first-time offenders in Florida may qualify for a DUI Diversion Program—an opportunity to avoid severe penalties. However, because he was not a Florida resident, he was denied access to the program.
Our client’s field sobriety test was conducted entirely in Spanish, but the state failed to provide an independent translation—a critical legal requirement in Florida. Without a certified translation, statements made during the test could not be legally admitted as evidence.
Our client, a young woman with no recent criminal history, had no idea that a warrant for attempted murder had been issued against her years ago. She only discovered it when she went to the police station as a victim to report a crime—only to be arrested on the spot.
Our client was charged with felony burglary with intent to commit voyeurism and indecent exposure, stemming from an incident where they briefly entered a home’s patio—an area legally defined as curtilage.
Our client, a nursing student with a bright future ahead, was pulled over for speeding and subsequently charged with DUI Enhanced—a more severe DUI offense due to her high breathalyzer results.
Our client, an 18-year-old young adult, was stopped by a deputy who randomly checked his vehicle's license plates and found a suspension. Despite no evidence of unsafe driving, the deputy proceeded to investigate further, noting an open alcohol bottle on the rear passenger floorboard.
Our client, a devoted husband and father from the Midwest, was enjoying a family cruise departing from Fort Lauderdale. During an evening event, our client, a lively dancer, intervened multiple times when another passenger continually brought glassware onto the dance floor, causing disruptions and safety hazards.
After two South Florida parents were engaged in a verbal altercation that turned slightly physical, their minor son came out of his room and began yelling and swinging his arm at his father. The son spewed insults while beginning to film his father on his phone.
A 17-year-old client was asked by her friend to smoke together. The client told the friend she had a brother who could sell marijuana to her. When the client arrived with her brother to the friend’s car, the brother immediately pointed a firearm at the friend.
As the defendant was parking, his co-defendant sees a woman sitting on a nearby bench on the phone. He steps out, grabs the phone from her hand, gets back in the car, and tells the defendant to drive away. However, the State ended up dropping the charges.
A 35-year-old woman in Boca Raton, charged with criminal mischief, had her case dismissed due to the incredible efforts and action by our attorney, David Tarras, who showcased her completion of a diversion program in Palm Beach and apologetic nature.
Chavez was charged with a crime that had very serious consequences were he found guilty. He was afraid of going to jail, of having a criminal record, and of having his life ruined by the person he supported like family. The charges against Chavez were dropped within one month.
The judge granted Rossen Law Firm's stand your ground motion, which means the court agreed that she was acting in self defense. We were able to get Kimberly O.’s record expunged.
The client was called by her friend asking to smoke together at a certain location in Ft. Lauderdale. During their conversation, the client mentioned that her brother sold marijuana and that he could sell some to the friend. When the client and her brother arrived, both got into the friend’s car.
A 15-year-old teen involved in a mob beating in Parkland, Florida, had felony battery charges reduced to a misdemeanor thanks to the strategic defense by South Florida attorney Susan Lawson. This allowed the teen to return to school and avoid a felony conviction.
Ms.Anarka Gonzalez what's beyond helpful and attentive. Totally understanding. I highly recommend her and the law firm. Thank you again miss Gonzalez 😊
9 months ago I found myself facing an unfortunate situation filled with lies and heartache. In all my life I had never faced anything as scary, and as heartbreaking as what I was up against. I did not know where to turn until I found Adam Rossen's firm. I remember hearing him say "bad things happen to good people" and I instantly knew he was the man I needed. The charges I was facing were as serious as they get, but with Adam and his team's dedication the charges were dropped after 8 months. I never spent one night in jail. It's a true testament to Adam and Susan Lawson's heart for people, especially those who find themselves in unfortunate situations. If anyone is looking for attorney's who will go to absolute war for you, then look no further than the Rossen Law Firm! Thank you Adam and Susan from the bottom of my heart!

I am incredibly thankful that I found the Rossen Law Firm in Broward County for my criminal defense and DUI case. Thanks to Attorney Scott Simmons and Susan Lawson, my driver's license was saved, and we successfully beat my DUI charge. On the day of trial, my exceptional DUI lawyers negotiated with the state attorney, resulting in a reduced charge to reckless driving without a driver's license suspension. I can't imagine what I would have done without the relentless dedication of my legal team. Scott, Susan, and their staff consistently answered my questions, no matter how minor, and genuinely cared about my well-being. They truly are the best DUI lawyers and criminal defense attorneys in Broward County. If anyone I know ever needs legal representation, I will undoubtedly recommend the Rossen Law Firm for top-notch criminal defense and DUI law services.

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work!

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
