Top best C Lawyers in Fort Lauderdale | 2161 available

I’m David Tarras, Partner at the Rossen Law Firm. I have spent my entire legal career as a criminal defense attorney, fighting tirelessly for the criminally accused in both State and Federal Court in Florida. I've successfully defended over 1000 clients charged with every manner of crime, with a particular focus on complex White Collar Crime, Federal Government Investigations, Healthcare Fraud, Sex Crimes, Weapons Offenses, Narcotics Crimes, Domestic Violence, and DUI. I have zealously represented my clients in over 40 jury trials and myriad bench trials, 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. I've also appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America and other national and local news outlets for work I have done in federal criminal defense, as well as a widely popular Apple/iTunes True-Crime Podcast.. 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.. 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.. I joined the Rossen Law Firm because the Core Values of the firm are directly aligned with my own. Adam, Manny, 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.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.-Aristotle

Irwin Gilbert is a senior partner at Conrad & Scherer’s Fort Lauderdale office with a practice concentrating primarily on complex commercial litigation, general business litigation, construction defect litigation, class actions and professional liability.. Practicing in State and Federal Courts in Florida and across the Country, Irwin represents fortune 100 companies in high stakes litigation. He has been selected as lead counsel for the defense in mass shooting cases.. Irwin believes that success depends on communicating with the client to fully understand the client’s needs and expectations and designing a strategy to achieve those results in the most efficient manner possible. He has repeatedly “compressed the timeline” of litigation to conserve the client’s resources and minimize the disruption of the client’s business. When it comes to litigation, time is money. Compressing the timeline means getting the case on the fastest track, deflecting delay strategies by opposing counsel and getting the case to a resolution before his clients exhaust their patience and their resources. While Irwin has extensive experience taking complex litigation through trial, he believes that most disputes have the potential for less expensive resolution if the issues and objectives are clearly identified at the outset.. Irwin’s clients have included banks, investment firms, executives, celebrities, legal professionals, and Fortune 500 companies. In some of his more groundbreaking decisions, Irwin reigned in fiduciaries who had exceeded their powers, including court-appointed guardians and Assignees for the Benefit of Creditors. Irwin has also protected business clients from lawsuits, including class action, antitrust matters and trade secrets cases. In several of these cases, more than one hundred million dollars was at risk.. Irwin has a wide range of experience practicing throughout the United States and has litigated cases in Great Britain and Japan. His original training was in antitrust and unfair competition, defending companies in Robinson Patman and price-fixing conspiracy cases. He also served as Chairman of the Business Law Section of The Florida Bar’s Antitrust & Trade Regulation Subcommittee and also as Chair of the Florida Bar’s Business Litigation Committee.. Prior to studying law, Irwin studied physics and electrical engineering and was engaged in government service. Irwin earned his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Buffalo, John Lord O’Brien School of Law and after clerking, began practicing in two large New York City law firms. Prior to joining the firm, Irwin was a Partner in his own practice also defending private lenders, construction companies and commercial real estate developers in complex commercial litigation.

If I had to sum myself up in one sentence, I would say: I am a husband and father to 4 incredible children struggling to balance my love for my family with my love for what I do. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and moved to Florida in 2004. Many people would be surprised to know that my first career was in the food business. As a young boy, I used to hang out in my father’s friend’s Chinese restaurant where I learned from a very young age how to cook Chinese food. I worked in various restaurants before venturing out on my own. Shortly after moving to Florida, I purchased a Thai restaurant in Sunrise, Florida that was the closest Glatt Kosher Thai restaurant to New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Running my own business taught me lessons I could not have obtained in the best business schools in the country and that help shape my career as a lawyer on a daily basis.. After a couple disastrous storms took its toll on my clientele and as the economy took a nose-dive, I decided it was time for a change and upon my wife’s counsel, I enrolled in law school. I was fortunate to attend Florida International University (FIU) which, in just a few short years, has jumped to become one of the nation’s top 100 law schools. I began working for a consumer protection law firm in my first month of law school and stayed there for 8 years. Despite my plans on becoming a criminal defense attorney, an opportunity opened up in the consumer protection field and before I knew it—I was hooked. Seeing the dramatically uneven playing field American consumers are forced to wrestle upon with the world’s biggest corporations, I was determined to make a change. I am proud to have been a part of shaping consumer protection law, specifically in the areas of TILA (Truth in Lending Act), FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act), and the TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act).. Unfortunately, I see so much misinformation and a general ignorance as to people’s rights that I have made it my mission to educate consumers on how they can fight back. My goal is to provide my clients with a complete and total solution to their debt issues. Inevitably, this leads to a better quality of life, more confidence, a better marriage, and a happier client.. There is nothing more gratifying for me than seeing the look of relief wash over my client’s face as I tell her / him that I can make the harassment and phone calls stop. Actually, that is not entirely true. There is something more gratifying: Seeing the look that washes over my client’s face as I hand her / him a check a few months later.

I was raised and educated in the State of Florida.  After graduating from the University of Florida, I attended the Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center.  During my final year of Law School, I participated in an internship at the Broward County State Attorney's office.  Upon graduating from law school I was hired as an Assistant State Attorney.  Prosecuting all ranges of crimes from Juvenile through First Degree Felonies I quickly progressed to be a lead Prosecutor running a Division.  After four years, I was recruited by Adorno & Yoss an international law firm providing a full range of interdisciplinary services to its clients throughout the Western Hemisphere. Adorno & Yoss is the largest certified minority-owned firm in the United States and the only law firm member of the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council's Corporate Plus Program. It is the most diverse law firm in the country.  After three years of working at Adorno, I opened Michael D. Weinstein P.A. I utilize my experience and interpersonal skills to provide the very best representation to my clients.

I was born on August 26, the anniversary of the day that women won the right to vote. Being politically active and an advocate for women's rights came naturally. A legacy or destiny.. I started college with no thought of becoming an employment discrimination lawyer. As an award-winning high-school artist (National First Prize in the "Hallmark Cards High School Talent Search") I won a full scholarship to Michigan State University, from which I graduated (magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa) with an ever-so-useful degree in Art History.. My radicalizing experience for a born-on-the-26th-of-August woman was not so much an epiphany as a reality check: getting passed over for promotion in my first job out of college for a man because "you'll get married, get pregnant and quit." Women in the 70s were supposed to have husbands, babies and homes, not careers. I sensed that I'd been discriminated against, but didn't know what to do about it. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was only a few years old. Few lawyers brought gender discrimination suits. (The only reason that women had been included in Title VII’s protections was because a segregationist opponent sponsored a floor amendment, thinking that including women would create enough baggage to sink the proposed law.). Jump forward a few years and I was “married with children.” I attended an organizational meeting for a Fort Lauderdale chapter of the National Organization for Women and its message of equality catapulted me into driving around the state for two years in a 1960 Oldsmobile with two babies in tow to organize NOW chapters. I ran for and was elected to the NOW National Board of Directors in 1972. I lobbied in Tallahassee for the Equal Rights Amendment in 1973 and 1974. When the ERA didn’t pass, its proponents threatened to run for office. A male legislator told me that "no one like you (a women’s libber)" could ever get elected. Wrong. I ran and, in 1974 (at age 27), became the first woman from Broward County, Florida, to serve in the Florida House of Representatives. My campaign slogan during that Watergate/watershed year: It's time.. One term in the Florida House was enough. I retired from politics and went to law school, graduating and becoming a lawyer in 1979.. In 1982, I married my now-partner and soul mate Bill Amlong (a former Miami Herald reporter I had met while I was in Tallahassee but that's another story). We started our little mom and pop law firm that year, struggling like most small businesses do. Then I did a lot of family law, while Bill did a little bit of everything.. And then Bill started litigating the discrimination cases my NOW colleagues referred to us, which got us started in employment law. We are still a mom and pop law firm, although we have grown far beyond our initial vision. Now we concentrate almost exclusively on cases involving employment rights. Together, Bill and I have tried and settled hundreds of discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination cases. We've done well. I won Florida's first significant sexual harassment judgment. Stockett v. Tolin, 791 F. Supp. 1536 (S.D. Fla. 1992). Bill won a Supreme Court case that changed the contours of sexual harassment litigation. Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998). In 2018, we tried and won a case, Igwe v. City of Miami, in the Top 100 Verdicts in Florida.. I have practiced 40 years. I am AV Peer Review Rated through Martindale-Hubbell. I've been a Super Lawyer since 2007. I have lectured extensively on employment law, discrimination and sexual harassment on local, state, national and international levels.. I believe in people being judged on what they can do, not on things they can't change like their gender, their race or their age. I love what I do. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a client who came into my office crushed by losing a job or powerless in the face of workplace discrimination regain their confidence.. I can help you fight back against workplace injustice. I can use what I’ve learned in 40 years of practice to help you get the pay or promotion or severance package you deserve. I can point to the results in cases I’ve tried to help convince your former employer to make a fair settlement without litigation. And if your case goes to trial, you’ll have the benefit of the thousands of hours I’ve spent in the courtroom, preparing me to try my most important case yet: yours.. Think about it.

I represent the injured in the field of Plaintiff's Personal Injury. At the distinguished law firm of Krupnick Campbell Malone Buser Slama Hancock, P.A., I handle matters including medical malpractice, auto accidents, premise liability, slip and falls, negligent security, products liability, catastrophic loss, and wrongful death claims.

I have experience handling claims at all stages including applications, claim management, administrative appeals, buyouts and litigation..

I recognize the level of pain and difficulty a person and their family may be going through after an injury happens due to someone else's negligence.  No one is prepared to be involved in an accident.  What comes after is even more confusing.  Who pays for the medical bills?  What if I can't work?  How do I deal with the insurance company when they contact me?. My first goal is to make sure the powerful does not take advantage of the powerless.  I do this by answering your accident questions and explaining the options you have if you wish to seek compensation for your injuries.  This is at no cost to you.. Our firm is based out of Fort Lauderdale and fights for the rights of the injured throughout the State of Florida.  We handle cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, slip-and-falls, wrongful death accidents, nursing home abuse, premises liability and many other types of catastrophic injury cases..

I practice in all areas of commercial and corporate litigation, with extensive experience in employment litigation.  I have litigated cases at all stages and in all types of forums—including administrative proceedings before government agencies, injunction hearings, bench trials and jury trials in state and federal courts, and final arbitration hearings.  I have litigated cases in a number of jurisdictions beyond Florida, including California, Colorado, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and in London, Vienna, Buenos Aires, and Tokyo.  I strive to implement strategies designed to achieve the client’s desired results—whether early resolution, aggressive litigation, or resolution by trial.  I am rated “AV” by Martindale-Hubbell, its highest rating.. In the employment law area, I regularly represent employers in investigating and defending Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charges of discrimination and lawsuits alleging discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, collective and class actions alleging wage and overtime violations, and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) violations, among others. My experience also includes reviewing employment agreements, severance agreements, and other contractual arrangements for executives and other highly skilled employees, auditing employment practices, counseling on workplace issues, and drafting and reviewing comprehensive employment policy manuals to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws.. My commercial and corporate litigation experience includes representing individuals and corporations in commercial contract disputes involving asset purchase agreements, service agreements, business contracts, or broker agreements; representing owners and contractors in construction litigation; representing corporations and boards of directors in shareholder disputes and securities litigation; and defending products liability claims.

I offer my clients aggresive representation with personalized attention.  Our firm works tirelessly to protect the interests of our clients. With aggressive representation, our goal is to tip the scales of justice in favor of our client.. "Aggressive" does not always carry the same meaning.  Sometimes it takes only a rational conversation to settle a claim, while other times it means taking a case to trial.. Our injury attorneys are skilled, knowledgeable and confident and will treat you more than just a number with another legal matter.  We take your legal matter personally, and nothing matters more to us than providing our clients with a favorable outcome.  More often than not, you will speak to an attorney, rather than just a case manager.  Try that with the big law firms (the lawyer rarely will speak with you after you are signed up).. This firm also offers practical legal advice to its clients, based on real world experience, with the goal of presenting issues to our clients in way that is easy to understand.   When it comes to protecting our client's legal rights, we will not back down. Put us in your corner and let us fight for your rights. We look forward to working with you soon.
