Mr. Jay Rooth fought tirelessly for me. When most of Florida went on lock-down due to COVID-19, he didn't give up on my case. He kept me well-informed and was always willing to answer any questions I had about the process. Not once was I made to feel ignorant about my lack of legal knowledge. Mr. Rooth was straightforward with me and made sure to clearly outline all of my options before we proceeded with making a decision. He is patient, polite, and professional. I highly recommend Mr. Rooth to anyone who needs a trustworthy and hardworking attorney.

Attorney Rooth was extremely helpful from the beginning to the end of our case. The outcome was better than we could have ever expected. He is knowledgeable, friendly and honest. While I hope to never need his services again, I would only consult with him should the need arise.

I found Jay after I was faced with a felony fraud charge. I had never even had a traffic ticket so I was completely over the top stressed out, anxiety ridden with thinking the worst. I called the number I found on google based off 5-star reviews on a Friday night to which he answered and immediately put me at ease just by a simple phone call. We worked together for the following year and a half and he was always there to take my ridiculous phone calls and never left an email go without a response. No one ever wants to think about needing to have to hire a criminal lawyer, however if you ever find yourself in a situation this is the person you want on your side. He is brilliant! I am happy to say my case was dismissed and I couldn’t have done it without him.

I was very pleased with the representation I received from Jay Rooth and his staff. I went in for a consultation the same evening I called, he met with me and took his time to get the whole picture before advising me of anything. I was horrified due to the nature of my charge but Jay made sure I knew he would do everything in his power to fight my case and he did. Though we were prepared to fight all the way to trial he was able to get the case dismissed without me ever having to set foot inside a courtroom. I honestly don't see how things could have gone any better in this process. He was very accessible which is not a common trait in lawyers that I have dealt with. An example of this is when I had a major update in information and not only was it 8pm but Jay was out of town as well. He still was glad to speak with me and assured me it was not an issue. Since the case has been dropped I feel like I can finally get back to my life, I cannot thank him enough.

Very Humble and knowledgeable attorney! I read a lot of reviews from different attorneys and decided to go with Jay. If you do decided to go with Jay it will NOT be a mistake. He is awesome. Also told us if we had any other problems or questions with anything as simple as a speeding ticket to call him.

I recently found myself in a very difficult situation. I needed to find the best criminal defense Atty in Fl, but I live in a different state...and there are ALOT of options online! After endless hours of researching, reading online reviews and speaking with many different attorneys, both online and on the phone, I chose to go with Jay Rooth. And HE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS, by far!! He was extremely compassionate and understanding, yet firm and knowledgable at the same time-the outcome of our situation was better than I could have ever imagined, and would not have happened without Mr. Rooth. Look no further if you need top representation, Jay is your guy.

I cannot begin to tell you how very pleased I am with Moses and Rooth Attorneys at Law. Attorney Rooth is the benchmark for all attorneys in my opinion . Why? He is knowledgeable , personable , extremely professional and above all else very patient. I never felt as though I was a number or hurried through the process. Attorney Rooth took the time to explain in detail my case , my options, and what I should expect however his defining strength is that he treated me with respect and I never once felt as though he was railroading me. I knew confidently that he was in my corner and fighting for 'ME" and helping "ME" get through my court cases., He not only took on 2 of my cases but helped me to clear up an old one that he really was not connected to but because I was his client and he understood my personal concerns and struggles , he pounced into action giving my the right direction to get the 3rd case resolved as well. So now I have my FLDL back due to his diligence . If you are looking for an attorney who doesn't make you feel irrelevant and will carefully take your hand and guide you through the processes of the legal system ,then Jay Rooth is the attorney for you , call him I unequivocally know that you will be glad you did .

I never planned on having any trouble with the law but recently I found myself accused of some charges after a night at one of Orlandos most popular Tourist Spots. Jay Rooth took the time to listen to everything I told him regarding my trespassing criminal case. I even found myself accused of resisting arrest when I didn't resist in any way shape or form. Jay was able to obtain video evidence and was able to communicate prosecuting attorney to the point where both of my charges were dismissed before ever going to trial. I never once was even required to appear in court. If you find yourself in trouble in Central Florida and want someone to help prove your innocent or at least help you get the best possible outcome given your circumstance, do not hesitate, call Jay!

From the initial contact it was clear the sterling references I received regarding Mr Rooth were correct. Mr Rooth defined the path forward, explained the processes, and provided guidance. He relentlessly pursued a favorable outcome and achieved it for me. I have nothing but the highest regard for Mr Rooth and his practice.
