    Why you need a Coconut Creek Criminal Attorney

    The city of Coconut Creek is nestled inside of Broward County, Florida between Palm Beach and Miami-Dade. While it is a small city, Coconut Creek has a higher crime rate than 48% of other Florida cities and towns.

    The city of Coconut Creek also has their own local police department with a K9 unit, SWAT team and DUI unit. Outside of Coconut Creek city limits, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office exercises jurisdiction. Broward County itself has a huge array of attorneys, ready to help you fight your case. 

     

    Criminal cases are different, however, and require attorneys to pay special attention to detail in order to make successful legal arguments that can get you the best possible outcome if you’ve been charged with a crime. Defending a criminal case can be extensive: there are a number of motions that could be filed and each case has its own group of officers and individuals that will likely be asked to testify against you. 

     

    The best criminal defense attorney you can have on your side is one that’s not afraid to put in the work. One that will conduct depositions of officers and any potential civilian witnesses involved in your case, file the necessary motions, and argue them successfully in court and in front of a judge. 

     

    That’s what Rossen Law Firm will do for you. We do not shy away from a challenge and are ready to get started working up your case – conducting and scheduling those depositions to get every bit of useful information we possibly can and negotiating with prosecutors to see what evidence (or lack of evidence) they have. 

     

    For a free strategy session, call us today at 754-206-6200 or 754-999-2499 to schedule a meeting with our attorneys to see what we can do for you.

      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.
