I needed help with a serious issue after the death of my Mom. Michael was very kind and professional in the handling of the issue. He kept in contact with me consistently. I would highly recommend Michael Rossi and his firm.

Mr. Rossi is an experienced and expert attorney with a command of legal knowledge that is second to none. He handled my matter in a courteous, efficient and expeditious manner resulting in terms significantly more favorable to me that what my previous counsel was able to muster. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of quality legal representation.

Michael took care of my case and as I live in another state, he was able to keep me from having to travel back to NY.

Mr. Rossi and the Rossi Law Firm are head and shoulders above all others. My ex-wife relocated with my son without my knowledge as the primarily custodial parent. Mr. Rossi never promised that we would win our case, nor did he ever oversell me on our position. He told me that we need to "Fight Like Hell" and we did. My case was a Team Effort from ALL within the Rossi Law Firm. I felt that my case mattered to Mr. Rossi and I don't feel like I was ever taken advantage of or overcharged as there were many complications with my case. He is very mindful of the hours and cost for your fight. If you are going thru a divorce or dealing with post divorce custody issues, I assure you that Mr. Rossi and the Rossi Law Firm will do all they can to help you. Mr. Rossi only takes on a limited number of cases to ensure that you are getting the attention that you and your case needs. I feel extremely fortunate he took my case. Mr. Rossi and the Rossi Law Firm will always be the only place I will trust to handle any future case issues. The stakes are too high to choose the wrong lawyer to handle what is most precious in my life. I highly recommend Mr. Rossi and the Rossi Law Firm for any Family Law needs that you may have. I don't regret hiring him and I do not believe you will either.

When my life got flipped upside from a DWI charge I had no idea where to turn. I had a very unique case that needed the attention to detail this firm presented. Unlike other interviews I had with very other known law firms, when speaking with Mr. Michael Rossi on the very first call , he outlined his experience and his goals on how he hoped to achieve a favorable outcome for me. No lavish promises on cost or how long it would take to effectively defend me. In my experience, when you hire someone you go on experience and reputation not a sales pitch filled with unknown promises. I feel I made the right call in hiring the Rossi firm. Bottom line as much as it can be difficult to pay for legal fees you get what you pay for, so buck up if your reputation and criminal record are important to you. As for Mr. Nicholas Rossi, this guy is a beast in the court room. He is very bright, extremely knowledgeable in the law and very comfortable in the courtroom , he has a very promising future. Having both of these gentleman by myside in the courtroom I felt confident as possible during a very difficult time filled with unknowns. On top of everything both of these fine attorneys have a heart, they helped me more than they know. I feel they genuinely cared. Best part of all, all charges DISMISSED! I feel very confident this firm will do everything legally necessary to defend you, leaving no stone unturned. Thank you!

I am glad that I took my son in law's advice and chose the Rossi Law firm. My case was very serious and complicated. From day one, I felt that I had not only Michael Rossi in my corner, but his son Nicholas too. So for expense purposes I had two excellent lawyers for the price of one. Mike and Nick treated me with respect and kindness. From day one, they told me "not to worry, live my life, and although my case was serious to let them use their skills to do their job". I cannot imagine anyone "working the courtroom" better than Michael Rossi. My results were far better than my hopes or dreams. Although I continue with praises, the bottom line, in my sixty four years of life experience, they rate "A" number "1". Althogh

Mr Rossi was such a pleasure to work with. I was married to a Canadian and I had a very difficult case. Mr Rossi did everything he could for me to make sure my children and i were taken care of. He worked very hard and went over and above for me. He always worked with me on payment when times got tough. I can’t thank him enough and i HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a quality attorney.

I was involved in a complicated driving related case that required great attention to detail. Michael and Nicolas Rossi were more than excellent. They were honest about possible outcomes, shared information with me along the entire process and always were extremely professional. My outcome was nothing less than amazing due to their dedication and hard work. I would highly recommend the Rossi Law firm to anyone looking for fair attorneys dedicated to their clients.
