While I haven’t personally needed legal services from Rossen law firm, I’ve been consistently impressed by their presence and professionalism in the legal community. Danielle, their Community Relations Specialist, does an outstanding job representing the firm—she’s knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly communicates the firm’s commitment to legal excellence and client care. It’s clear they take both their legal work and community involvement seriously. Based on what I’ve seen, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I would absolutely hire them if I needed someone to represent me.

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!

When I was facing an alleged DUI in Fort Lauderdale, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. My brother recommended Rossen Law Firm, and I couldn’t have made a better choice.

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 right
direction. 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!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.

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! I really appreciate you.

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.
