Job Description

Job Description

Ready to fight for freedom, protect futures, and join a team that takes results (and people) personally?

At Rossen Law Firm , we don’t just defend cases — we defend people . We stand beside good people when bad things happen, and we fight relentlessly to protect their rights, their reputations, and their futures.

As we continue expanding our criminal defense team in Fort Lauderdale and Miami , we’re looking for an attorney who’s confident in court, relentless in preparation, and aligned with our mission, culture, and clients.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Purpose-driven work helping good people rebuild their lives and futures
  • Elite, supportive team that has your back — in and out of court
  • AI-native, innovative law firm with cutting-edge systems and processes
  • Real growth runway (mentorship, training, leadership opportunities)
  • Positive, high-performance culture that celebrates wins and teamwork

The Role (What You’ll Do)

You’ll handle criminal matters from intake through resolution — with strong support, smart systems, and a team that moves fast and communicates clearly.

Responsibilities include :

  • Manage a meaningful caseload of criminal defense matters (misdemeanors and felonies)
  • Appear in court for arraignments, hearings, motions, and trials as needed
  • Develop case strategy, draft and argue motions, and negotiate resolutions
  • Conduct client meetings and maintain consistent, proactive communication
  • Collaborate closely with the team (intake, case management, investigators, attorneys)
  • Maintain high standards for preparation, deadlines, and documentation
  • Who You Are

    You’re not looking for “just another job.” You want to make a difference — to stand up in court and stand beside clients. You thrive in a fast-paced, team-driven environment where excellence, honesty, and accountability aren’t optional — they’re expected.

    You’ll fit right in if you live by our five core values :

  • Open & Honest : You lead with integrity. You communicate directly and clearly — with clients, courts, and colleagues — always with professionalism and compassion.
  • Team First (Wolfpack Mentality) : You know defense is a team sport. You build trust, share credit, support others, and never let a teammate stand alone.
  • Take Action : You move with urgency and ownership. You don’t wait for someone else to solve the problem — you step up and get it done.
  • Play All In : You bring passion and energy to every case. You care deeply about clients, the craft, and outcomes — and you refuse to settle for “good enough.”
  • Get to Yes : You’re resourceful and persistent. You find solutions where others see dead ends — adapting, innovating, and pushing forward until the work is done.
  • Compensation :

    $100,000 - $200,000 yearly

    Responsibilities :

    Client Advocacy & Representation

  • Defend clients in a wide range of criminal cases, including DUIs, domestic violence, sex crimes, drug offenses, and federal matters.
  • Manage every phase of a case—from intake and arraignment to motions, hearings, trial, and appeal.
  • Design and implement legal strategies that protect and advance each client’s future.
  • Case Management & Preparation

  • Conduct thorough legal research, depositions, and witness preparation.
  • Draft and file persuasive motions, pleadings, and briefs.
  • Maintain proactive, timely communication with clients, co-counsel, and court personnel.
  • Courtroom Excellence

  • Represent clients confidently and effectively in court on a regular basis.
  • Deliver clear, strategic, and compelling arguments before judges and juries.
  • Respond quickly and decisively under pressure in adversarial settings.
  • Client Experience & Communication

  • Build trust through frequent, transparent, and compassionate communication.
  • Provide honest, empowering guidance to clients navigating high-stress situations.
  • Ensure every client feels supported, respected, and valued throughout their case.
  • Team Collaboration & Culture

  • Partner with attorneys, staff, and leadership to deliver seamless service.
  • Contribute to a positive, growth-oriented culture by living the firm’s core values daily.
  • Continuous Improvement & Growth

  • Engage in ongoing training through RLF University and professional development programs.
  • Reflect on performance, seek feedback, and pursue mastery.
  • Stay current with legal developments, continuing education, and bar requirements.
  • Qualifications : Who You Are :

  • A licensed Florida attorney with 2+ years of criminal defense experience (DUI, sex crimes, federal cases a plus).
  • A fierce advocate who believes in justice and second chances.
  • Detail-oriented, coachable, and hungry to grow personally and professionally.
  • Tech-savvy and efficient—no drama, just results.
