5 Star Review Posted by a client - Divorce
“I highly recommend Michael Anthony Rossi and his team after working on my divorce. I was in a situation where I needed professional representation during my very high conflict divorce. I have worked with many attorneys on various projects over the past 4 years. If you are in a situation like I was and you demand the best results you seek out the best possible person for the job. Mr. Rossi demonstrated that he is extremely knowledgeable in the field of divorce law and knows how to deal with complex issues, which can arise. His knowledge and expertise as a seasoned attorney working in this field is extensive. His family members who are also attorneys add additional perspective to any case he represents. Mr. Rossi always remained calm and in control in the midst of a circumstance that I was unprepared to handle on my own. Mr. Rossi kept me notified every step of the way and was straightforward and forthcoming with all information. I felt he always had my best interest in mind and I was able to relax knowing I was in the best of hands. The outcome for me was more than I could have prayed for. Please use Mr. Rossi for your divorce needs. He is worth everything you invest and more.”
5 Star Review Posted by a client – Personal Injury
"I chose the the Rossi Law Firm to represent me in a personal injury case and I couldn’t of been more satisfied with the work they preformed for me. I never once felt like I was being lied to or cheated. My calls and e-mails were always answered or returned in a timely fashion. Their whole team went above and beyond for me and for that I am thankful."
Client Satisfaction is the Key to our Firm’s Success!
“Client satisfaction is extremely important to us and that, of course, is our ultimate goal. We strive to identify aspects of 'routine' cases that other lawyers may not see. We analyze each specific fact and search for legal issues that will allow us to obtain a more favorable resolution than the routine or typical outcome for each case. We are routinely contacted by potential clients who are dissatisfied with their current legal representation. The common issue is almost always a lack of communication between the potential client and his or her current attorney. We know how important communication is to our clients, and we go to great lengths to ensure that each client is well informed and aware of every aspect of his or her case. We care about how every case is resolved and we are committed to achieving the best possible results for our clients. That is how we define our success.”
