Summary:

After two South Florida parents were engaged in a verbal altercation that turned slightly physical, their minor son came out of his room and began yelling and swinging his arm at his father. The son spewed insults while beginning to film his father on his phone. The client then went to another part of the home to retrieve a bag that contained his firearm, claiming that he would be willing to kill himself to stop burdening his wife and son. At that point the son called 911, leading the client to be charged with domestic battery and subject to an involuntary psychiatric evaluation. Ultimately, the case was dismissed by the State after the Rossen Law Firm met with the family and resolved the case.

Facts of the Case:

On the day after Christmas Day 2023, two parents in Miramar, Florida got into a verbal altercation in their home. During the argument, our client lightly pushed his wife and pushed over a Christmas bag. The son of the couple woke up from a nap after hearing his parents argue, leading him to yell and swing his arm at his father. The client then broke a few items around the house and eventually went to retrieve a bag that had a firearm inside of it. The client never pulled the firearm out of the bag or handled it in any manner. The son began to record his father while yelling insults. The situation culminated in the client saying he was willing to kill himself to not burden his wife and son any further. The son then called the police on his father.

After the police arrived on the scene, the client explained how he merely expressed how he was feeling in the heat of the moment and that he had no intention to kill himself at that time. The police arrested him, charged him with domestic battery and determined that he should be subject to an involuntary psychiatric evaluation. After the client was put in jail, he was eventually released pre-trial subject to ankle monitoring and no contact with his family. 

Process and Result:

Susan Lawson met with the wife in a strategy session where they discussed how she wanted to proceed with her husband’s case after the client was released pre-trial with instructions not to contact his family. The wife explained the situation further and expressed that neither she or her son wished to testify against the client. Susan and the Rossen Law team worked to complete and submit a Waiver of Prosecution with the client’s wife. 

After the strategy session, the Rossen Law team monitored the client’s status with his mental health evaluations and planned to file a motion to modify the client’s pretrial release conditions. The case only reached the initial stages of the judicial process since Susan and the Rossen Law team were able to resolve the case quickly.

Final Result:

Ultimately, the case got dismissed by the State Attorney’s Office upon their review of the wife’s Waiver of Prosecution. No criminal charges resulted for the client.

In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible. He and this law firm family come highly recommended from personal experience!!!

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 rightdirection. 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 literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

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.
