DISCLAIMER: The results are specific to the facts and legal circumstances of each of the clients’ cases and should not be used to form an expectation that the same results could be obtained for other clients in similar matters without reference to the specific factual and legal circumstances of each client’s case.

Summary:

A 35-year-old woman in Boca Raton, charged with criminal mischief, had her case dismissed due to the incredible efforts and action by our attorney, David Tarras, who showcased her completion of a diversion program in Palm Beach and apologetic nature. 

Facts of the Case:

In this case, our client showed up at the residence of her ex-boyfriend, who she shares a child with. At the time of the event, the victim and complainant were pulling up to the residence when they saw our client standing outside. After the victim parked his vehicle and arrived at the scene, she approached the vehicle and struck the front passenger side windshield, causing severe damage. After this, she began to flee from the area in her personal vehicle. To prevent her from leaving, the victim placed himself in front of the moving vehicle, causing a collision between himself and the vehicle. 

As a result, our client faced a criminal mischief charge. Her greatest concern was losing her license to be a nurse. 

Process and Result:

David Tarras, the lead attorney on this case, worked tirelessly through strategy sessions and mitigation in order to get the warrant taken care of. An important aspect of the case to note was that our client’s ex-boyfriend has been violent in the past and she has made previous reports against him. A meticulous mitigation package was construed in this case to show the character and remorse of our client. This package included an apology letter directly addressed to the complainant, where our client expressed her regret and how sorry she was for her actions. Additionally, our client completed 12 hours of anger management and 50 community service hours, which was crucial in getting the case dismissed. 

David was able to get the capias warrant (arrest order) withdrawn in this case by explaining to the Assistant State Attorneys in an email that the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office had been unable to serve our client since she changed her address. She was unaware of the warrant until she was alerted by a friend. Since she has never been in this situation before, she was unaware that she had to consistently check the clerk. David explained in his email that if the warrant was not withdrawn, she would possibly lose her job and ability to provide for her son. The Assistant State Attorney agreed to withdraw the capias if our client came to court. This case had an initial arrest and arraignment, case dispositions, and a pre-trial hearing and plea conference. The final sentencing revealed the charges were dismissed. 

Final Result:

Due to David Tarras’ diligence and thoroughness, the charges were dismissed even with probable cause. The state listed the following reasons for the dismissal:

  • Successful Completion of Diversion Program In Lieu of Judicial Disposition
  • Successful Completion of Diversion Specified Classes 
  • Successful Completion of Community Service Hours 
  • Restitution and apology letter made to victim

Overall, David’s consistent effort to get the charges dismissed and ability to get the capias withdrawn truly changed the life of our client and allowed her to continue working and providing for her son.

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.
