We're your shield in Fort Lauderdale — digging into the evidence, challenging its flaws, and fighting for your tomorrow, whether that means dismissing a DUI, reducing a charge, or keeping your life intact. Your story drives our defense, and we're all in.
The best criminal defense attorneys listen to your story, bring real expertise — like our former prosecutor's edge — and stand with you, not just for you. At Rossen Law Firm, we blend compassion with results.
Immediately. If you're under investigation, were just arrested, or even suspect charges might be filed, now is the time to call — not later. Early intervention can often prevent charges from ever being filed; we've gotten cases dismissed before our clients ever stepped into a courtroom. Evidence disappears quickly, and prosecutors are already building their case.
One of the biggest mistakes is hiring the cheapest lawyer you can find, assuming every attorney is the same. Others pick someone without real courtroom experience or proven results in cases like theirs, or skip the hard questions about strategy, trial readiness, and communication. With over 3,500 cases handled, we know choosing the right attorney early can make or break your future.
As of October 1, 2025, refusing a breath test during a DUI stop in Florida — even for a first offense — is a criminal misdemeanor. Previously a first-time refusal was a civil infraction that led to a license suspension. A first refusal is now a second-degree misdemeanor, which can carry up to 60 days in jail, a $500 fine, and a permanent criminal record; a second or later refusal is a first-degree misdemeanor, with up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Speak with a DUI attorney before deciding.
Founder & CEO
Hello, my name is Adam Rossen. I have worked as a skilled criminal defense attorney for over 15 years. I am the owner and CEO of Rossen Law Firm, the biggest criminal defense firm in Broward County. My team and I have put in a lot of effort to build a name for ourselves as providers of outstanding legal services.
My journey in the legal field began after I graduated from the University of Miami School of Law in 2006. I started as a prosecutor at the Broward County State Attorney's Office, handling various criminal cases, from DUIs to violent crimes and drug offenses. This experience gave me invaluable insights into the criminal justice system. I now use this to benefit my clients.
Here's how we've turned challenges into triumphs:
Across Criminal, DUI, Federal, Domestic Violence, Marchman Act, and Baker Act cases, we've helped most clients avoid jail time, protect their reputations, and reclaim their lives. Our Fort Lauderdale team—led by a former prosecutor—brings 175 years of combined experience and heart to every fight.
