    Why you need a Dania Beach Attorney

    Dania Beach is a popular South Florida tourist attraction due to its gorgeous beaches and small-town vibe. 

     

    Dania Beach works closely with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office to fight and prevent crime in the city, since they don’t have their own local police department. 

     

    Broward County Sheriff’s Office, or BSO, has their own specialty units such as their K9 Unit, DUI Task Force, Bomb Squad, and more. 

     

    Here at Rossen Law Firm, our team of South Florida criminal defense attorneys, led by Adam and Manny, have worked alongside prosecutors and police officers in Dania and Broward County to get the best-case scenario for our clients for years. From the moment Rossen Law Firm is hired, we work to build your case by conducting depositions of police officers and witnesses, maintaining open lines of communication with prosecutors to see how the case is progressing, and researching to find every possible legal argument we can make to obtain a successful outcome for your case based on the specific facts and circumstances. 

    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!!!

      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.
