What Rossman, Baumberger, Reboso & Spier, PA does

Rossman, Baumberger, Reboso & Spier, P.A. is a Miami-headquartered personal injury and wrongful death law firm founded in 1974 and organized as a Florida Professional Association. The firm represents individuals and families across Florida and the Southeastern United States in catastrophic injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice (including birth injuries and robotic-surgery complications), railroad worker claims under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA), maritime and boating accidents, product liability, construction accidents, negligent security, aviation, and rideshare cases. It also offers Florida Supreme Court-certified mediation services.

The firm is partner-led, with four named partners (Stephen F. Rossman and Charles H. Baumberger as co-founders, Manuel "Alex" Reboso as managing partner, and Howard A. Spier) plus four associates listed in current materials, fitting within the disclosed 11–50 employee band. There is no proprietary technology platform; intake, case management, and trial work are conducted through traditional legal-practice methods. Marketing runs through an active content blog (archives dating to 2013 with posts continuing into 2026), community leadership (Easter Seals board chair role, Florida Justice Association and ABOTA leadership), and formal referral relationships with five railroad unions (SMART-TD, TCU, BRS, IBEW, BLET).

The business model is contingency-fee representation: clients pay no upfront cost, and the firm collects only on successful resolution. Lead generation is primarily direct-to-consumer via free consultations (phone, online contact form, same-day in-person) and union referrals. Aggregate client recoveries exceed $900M over the firm's lifetime, with headline verdicts including a $34M product-liability case, $20M product liability, $18M boating accident, $15M birth injury, $12.5M FELA, and $12M medical negligence verdict. No external private equity or venture ownership is indicated; the firm is owned and controlled by its attorney shareholders.
