Who I Am
I am a trial attorney, an advocate, and a South Florida native who has always been passionate about helping others and ensuring justice is served.
I knew I wanted to be a lawyer from a young age after witnessing how difficult it can be for individuals to navigate the criminal justice system without the right representation. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to being a strong, aggressive defender for my clients, no matter what they’re facing.
When I’m not in the courtroom, I love spending time with my family and friends and my golden doodle, the real boss of the house. As a true South Florida native, I make the most of the beautiful outdoors, whether fishing, scuba diving, or just being out on the water.
I’m also a die-hard Miami Dolphins fan—so when football season rolls around, you can bet I’ll be watching every game and cheering them on.
Why I Do This Work
I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people. I saw firsthand how life-changing a strong legal defense can be, and I knew I had the drive, skills, and passion to make a real impact.
My time as an Assistant Public Defender in Broward County gave me a deep understanding of the criminal justice system and how to fight for my clients in high-stakes cases. I learned early on that preparation, strategy, and fearless advocacy are key to winning cases and protecting people’s futures.
At Rossen Law Firm, I’ve found a team that shares my commitment to justice. We fight for people—not cases—and that’s why I love what I do.
