We at the Rossen Law Firm are proud to sponsor the Harold Rothman Business Scholarship. We are on a mission to support ambitious individuals who are ready to leave an unforgettable mark on the business world. As criminal defense attorneys rooted in Florida, we firmly believe in the transformative power of education and its ability to shape the future of the business industry.
Adam Rossen comes from a line of entrepreneurs dating back to his great-grandfather, but one that made an everlasting impact was his grandfather Harold Rothman. Harold started his own business after returning home from military service in 1946. His intuition and ingenuity allowed his company to grow from a small operation in the Bronx to the tri-state area. The foresight and savviness are what shape people like Adam and Harold and hopefully every applicant of the Harold Rothman Business Scholarship.
