If you’re dealing with a workers’ comp case, you need a lawyer who will actually fight for you—and Joseph Rooth did exactly that for me. I was injured at work in May of 2020, and from the very beginning workers’ comp denied nearly everything. I went through three failed back surgeries, countless procedures, and years of pain and stress. Throughout all of it, Joseph personally handled my case. He didn’t hand it off to other attorneys or assistants—he was the one filing motions, showing up to hearings, and fighting for me every step of the way. Just as important, his staff is incredible. Everyone in his office was compassionate, responsive, and genuinely supportive during one of the hardest periods of my life. Calls were returned, questions were answered, and I never felt like I was just another case number. Joseph and his entire team never gave up on me, even when the system tried its hardest to wear me down. If you are struggling with workers’ comp or disability, I cannot recommend

THEY ARE AMAZINGLY THE BEST! A work-related accident can change an employee's lifestyle. After a year and a half of dealing with Workers' Comp and changing my initial attorney (Burnetti), I can say that it is very important to have an attorney who cares about your case, who fights for your physical and financial well-being, especially with great knowledge and handling of Workers' Comp law, representing you properly. For this reason, I feel the responsibility to RECOMMEND ATTORNEY JOSEPH ROOTH (727)-849-3400 and his office staff. Without a doubt, THEY ARE INCREDIBLY THE BEST. Mr. Rooth answered my call from the first day I called his office, and after a year working on my behalf, I can say that they are a team that explains in detail how the law works. They are RESPONSIBLE, DILIGENT, EFFICIENT, and HONEST. MR. ROOTH always goes ahead of everything and everyone. He will recover the maximum possible amount for your case. MR. ROOTH EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!

ELLOS SON MARAVILLOSAMENTE LOS MEJORES! Un accidente de trabajo puede cambiar el estilo de vida de un empleado. Despues de un año y medio de lidiar con Worker Comp. y cambiar mi abogado inicial (Burnetti), puedo decir que es muy importante tener un abogado que se interese por tu caso, que pelee por tu bienestar fisico y economico, en especial con gran conocimiento y manejo de la ley de Worker Comp. representandote correctamente. Por este motivo siento la responsabilidad de RECOMEDAR AL ABOGADO JOSEPH ROOTH (727)- 849-3400 y su personal de officina. Sin lugar a equivocarme SON INCREIBLEMENTE LOS MEJORES. Mr. Rooth atendio mi llamada desde el primer dia que llame a su oficina, y despues de un año trabajando a mi favor puedo decir que son un equipo que te explican a detalle el funcionamiento de la Ley, son RESPONSABLES, DILIGENTES, EFICIENTES, HONESTOS. MR. ROOTH, siempre va adelante de las cosas y de las personas, el RECUPERARA el monto maximo posible por tu caso.

Mr. Rooth and his staff were always approachable, they always took the time to answer all my questions and return all my calls. He explained the Deposition and Mediation process to me, so that I felt more comfortable and less nervous. He handled everything and my case was completed quickly.
