Attorney David Tarras: Partner Attorney and Head of the Federal Criminal Defense Practice at the Rossen Law Firm

Who are you?

Hi, I’m David Tarras, Partner at the Rossen Law Firm. I was raised in South Florida and have spent my entire legal career fighting tirelessly for the criminally accused in both State and Federal Court in Florida. I’ve tried over 40 jury trials and successfully defended more than 1,000 clients, earning me a recognition by the National Trial Lawyers as one of the top 40 criminal defense attorneys under the age of 40 in Florida. Fort Lauderdale Illustrated also named me to their Top Lawyer list for 2021. I have zealously represented clients facing all manners of federal criminal accusations and complex white-collar litigation, including: wire fraudmoney laundering, social security fraud, healthcare fraud (anti-kickback statuteprescription fraud, and Medicare fraud), FOREX and commodities trading“Ponzi” schemesconspiracy, public corruption, drug traffickingweapons offenseschild pornographyhuman and sex traffickinggovernment investigations and more.

I have also appeared on Good Morning America and other national and local news outlets such as NBC 6Sun Sentinel and ABC’s West Palm Beach Florida News for work I have done in state and federal criminal defense, as well as a widely popular Apple/iTunes True-Crime Podcast. You can learn more about my professional background by visting Avvo, the Florida Bar website, or HG.org.

Where did you go to school?

I received a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Florida Honors College. I then graduated as a Merit Scholar from the Fordham University School of Law in Manhattan, New York. For all three years of law school, I worked for a nationally-renowned criminal law professor and author on a ground-breaking research project about the role of the human brain and modern neuroscience evidence in criminal defense litigation.

Why did you become a lawyer?

Both my parents are doctors – my father a Neurologist and my mother a Pediatric Oncologist. Growing up, I watched my parents save countless children and adults who were facing the most challenging and terrifying obstacles. My dream was to one day be in a position where I, too, could spend every day fighting for my clients’ livelihoods and safeguarding their futures. With a long-time passion for competition, creative conflict resolution, and the art of persuasion, I knew I could best fulfill my dream in the arena of criminal justice, protecting the lives and freedoms of South Floridians.

What made you decide to join the Rossen Law Firm?

I joined the Rossen Law Firm because the Core Values of the firm are directly aligned with my own. AdamManny, and all the incredible staff are on a never-ending mission to provide the most caring, wholesome, and zealous representation to every single client, no matter the case. The Rossen Law Firm is the benchmark for elite criminal defense representation. Every client is treated like family, and I am beyond grateful to be part of this firm and family.

What do you do when you’re not working at the Rossen Law Firm?

I’m an avid sports player and fan, especially when it comes to the Manchester City Football Club. I’m also a major sci-fi enthusiast and in my downtime am usually reading or watching something Star Wars related.

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.
