The Firm
ABOUT THE FIRM
Ross Amsel Raben Nascimento, PLLC does one thing: criminal defense. Not as one practice area among many - but as the sole, unwavering focus of every attorney, every hour, every day.
Our lineage runs deep. The firm traces its roots to Weiner, Robbins, Tunkey and Ross, P.A., founded in 1979 which then became Robbins, Tunkey, Ross, Amsel, Raben & Waxman, P.A. and was recognized as one of the largest law firms in the nation devoted entirely to criminal defense. For over 45 years, the partners of this firm have carried forward a single mission: to provide experienced, aggressive, and effective representation to individuals and organizations facing the most serious criminal charges the government can bring. That mission has never changed.
A Reputation Earned Over Decades
The firm and its partners hold an AV rating from the Martindale-Hubbell Legal Directory, the highest peer review rating in the legal profession, reflecting both legal excellence and the highest ethical standards. Our attorneys have been consistently recognized among the best in Florida by Florida Super Lawyers, Law and Leading Attorneys, The South Florida Legal Guide, and the Wall Street Journal and Miami Herald Best Lawyers polls. We have also been named one of the Best Law Firms for White Collar Defense in Miami by Best Lawyers.
All three members of the firm have served as Adjunct Professors of Law at the University of Miami School of Law's Litigation Skills Department - bringing the firm's real-world criminal defense experience directly into the classroom and into the next generation of trial lawyers.
What We Handle
Our practice spans the full range of state and federal criminal matters, with particular depth in white collar defense and complex federal investigations. We represent individuals, executives, medical practitioners, and businesses facing charges and investigations including healthcare fraud, Medicare and Medicaid fraud, mortgage fraud, criminal tax cases, securities fraud, Ponzi schemes, money laundering, computer and internet fraud, international narcotics conspiracies, and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations. We also have extensive experience representing IRS whistleblowers.
Beyond white collar matters, our trial attorneys handle serious state and federal criminal cases across the full spectrum - from major felonies to Murder and death penalty litigation - in courts throughout Florida and across the country.
Our appellate practice extends to every level of the Florida and federal court systems, including the Florida Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court.
