“I highly recommend Michael Anthony Rossi and his team after working on my divorce. I was in a situation where I needed professional representation during my very high conflict divorce.

Mr. Rossi demonstrated that he is extremely knowledgeable in the field of divorce law and knows how to deal with complex issues, which can arise. His knowledge and expertise as a seasoned attorney working in this field is extensive. His family members who are also attorneys add additional perspective to any case he represents.

I felt he always had my best interest in mind and I was able to relax knowing I was in the best of hands. The outcome for me was more than I could have prayed for. Please use Mr. Rossi for your divorce needs. He is worth everything you invest and more.”
Child Support
When facing a complex divorce, one of the few things parents often still agree upon is wanting the best for their children. Still, it is normal to have some anxiety when you know that, in terms of finances, this determination will be made by the court in the form of child support payments. There are standards that judges and magistrates follow for these determinations, but they are also allowed to diverge from those formulas how and when they see fit.
Child Custody and Visitation
When entering into child custody negotiations, make sure you are represented by a Buffalo divorce lawyer who not only is capable of protecting your rights as a parent, but who also invests his or herself into the protection of the well-being of your child.
Premarital Agreement
A prenuptial agreement can be considered an insurance policy against the worst-case scenario. Prior to your marriage, it is wise to assess each party's assets and come to an agreement regarding what would happen should a separation or divorce occur. This decision protects both parties and sometimes can even help resolve financial conflict before the marriage begins.
Spousal Support
Alimony, or spousal maintenance as it more commonly called now, is a critical part of any divorce. It is meant to ensure that both spouses are able to maintain a lifestyle they enjoyed during a marriage after that marriage has been dissolved. Spousal maintenance can be a contentious issue and because many of these orders are long-term, it is critical that you fight for maintenance terms that are appropriate.
The state of New York’s codes regarding fraud crimes is about as expansive as the number of various types of fraud there are. A skilled Buffalo criminal defense lawyer from The Rossi Law Firm can help you navigate these complex charges against you and ensure your rights are protected. With a hard-hitting and well-orchestrated criminal defense on your side, you can rest assured that your side of the story will be compellingly put forth before our justice system.
DUI/DWI
If you are arrested for driving while intoxicated, knowing your options can help protect you and may lead to less severe consequences. Following your arrest, you will be asked to submit to a chemical test, commonly referred to as a “breathalyzer”. In the state of New York, you are within your rights to refuse the chemical test; however, this is not always the correct choice, as your refusal to submit to a chemical test carries significant civil penalties which are completely separate from the potential penalties that would result from a criminal conviction for DWI.
Traffic Violations
A DWI charge is a criminal conviction, and is far more serious than a simple traffic ticket. In certain cases, however, a DWI can be a major felony offense. If you are facing felony DWI charges, it is imperative that you secure representation from a highly experienced Buffalo felony DWI lawyer. At The Rossi Law Firm, our Buffalo felony DWI attorneys nationally and locally recognized for the superior quality of our legal counsel, and our unparalleled dedication to our clients.
Fraud
Robbery
Have you been accused of robbery? Robbery charges are unique among theft charges in New York because they're not just considered a theft crime, but a violent one, as well. This means that prosecutors make pursuing these cases a priority and capable, aggressive counsel is needed to challenge and dispel the case against the accused.
Burglary
Have you been charged with burglary? Even though burglary is commonly associated with theft, under New York law, no theft needs to occur in order for it to be charged. At The Rossi Law Firm, we understand the challenges many accused face in these cases—often they are found simply trespassing, or there is some kind of misunderstanding when this felony allegation is made. Our firm is ready to meticulously assess the details of your case and ensure that every lacking aspect of the state's case against you is thoroughly challenged.
White Collar Crimes
Have you been charged with a "white collar crime?" This slang term is used to define offenses that are non-violent, but financially motivated. They are usually tried using extensive paper trails as evidence and often allege that the crimes were continuous and systematic. Defending against these allegations requires counsel that is vigilant, exacting, and committed to defending the future and reputation of the accused.
Theft
Misdemeanors
In New York State, assault is classified as either first or second degree, which are both felony level offenses, or assault in the third degree, which is a misdemeanor level offense. The facts and allegations of each specific case determine whether the offense is charged as a misdemeanor or felony offense.
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
NY Penal Law § 220.03 - 220.21 describe and define New York's drug possession laws. Like in other states, these statutes are complex and provide for many different factors that can be present for this type of offense. One thing that all these charges have in common, however, is the need for effective and proven defense counsel to effectively counter them both in and outside the courtroom.
Assault
Identity Theft
Shoplifting
Shoplifting in New York involves taking something from a retail establishment without paying the correct price for it. This relatively common theft crime costs store owners and operators a considerable amount every year. As a result, penalties on those who are convicted of this seemingly small crime can be large.
Forgery
Money Laundering
Kidnapping
Manslaughter
Within the past 10 years, you were convicted of a DWI-related offense, including vehicular manslaughter, DWI, aggravated DWI, DWAI by drugs or similar crimes.

Medical Malpractice
Despite their skill, all doctors make mistakes. Sometimes, these mistakes are minor. Unfortunately, medical professionals also make mistakes that cause drastic consequences for their patients. If you have suffered harm due to a doctor's negligence, or failure to provide the appropriate standard of care, you may have cause to pursue a medical malpractice claim. A medical malpractice claim seeks compensation to help you take care of mounting health care costs, to make up for your pain and suffering, and also helps protect others from suffering the same injury at the hands of the responsible party.
