About Steve
Steve Rossi built a foundation in public service and law from the start of his career. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Barry University in 1984 and completed his Juris Doctor at the University of Miami School of Law in 1987. The following year he attended the F.B.I. Academy in Quantico, Virginia as a Special Agent, gaining training that would inform his later courtroom work.
Rossi’s training at the F.B.I. Academy exposed him to investigative techniques and procedures used in complex criminal matters. That background sits alongside a conventional legal education. After law school he entered practice in Florida and has worked as a lawyer at The Law Offices of Steve Rossi P.A. He handles matters across the state’s courts and has developed a trial practice rooted in direct courtroom experience.
He is Board Certified in Criminal Trial Law by the Florida Bar. That credential reflects a record of trial work, peer review, and examination. It marks a career emphasis on criminal litigation and the mechanics of trying cases before judges and juries. Rossi is also an active member of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, where he participates in the professional community that addresses trial strategy, legal developments, and defense practice standards.
Rossi’s practice combines investigative background with courtroom skills. He regularly prepares for contested hearings and jury trials, dealing with evidence, witness preparation, and procedural motions. His experience attending the F.B.I. Academy shaped an approach to case development that often emphasizes factual investigation and attention to the chain of custody for evidence. He has applied those methods to a mix of state-level criminal matters in Florida.
Clients and colleagues describe him as a lawyer who prefers direct, methodical preparation over theatrical gestures. He focuses on the practical steps that influence outcomes: thorough factual inquiry, sustained courtroom presence, and clear presentation of legal arguments. That practical orientation carries through both pretrial strategy and trial work.
Today Rossi practices through The Law Offices of Steve Rossi P.A., where he concentrates on criminal trial defense in Florida courts. He maintains bar certification in criminal trial law and remains active in the state’s criminal defense bar, representing clients in contested matters throughout Florida.
