Krista Richman has dedicated over 13 years of her career to criminal defense, championing the rights of those accused of crimes. Now a partner at Rossen Law Firm, she practices out of the Fort Lauderdale office, serving clients across South Florida. Since beginning her journey in the legal field in 2011, Richman has devoted herself entirely to this challenging yet rewarding area where courage, grit, and determination are essential.
Richman’s passion for the law is most evident in the courtroom, where she excels at arguing motions and engaging in trials. She believes that successful defense strategies are built on meticulous preparation that occurs behind the scenes. Through thorough investigation and open, honest communication with her clients, she establishes a solid foundation for their collective success.
Throughout her career, Richman has navigated the complexities of the legal system, handling 30 jury trials ranging from misdemeanors to life-punishable felonies, including Robbery with a Deadly Weapon, Attempted Murder, and First-Degree Murder, among others. Her expertise also extends to specialized cases such as 10-20-life gun cases, drug trafficking, and homicides, underscoring her commitment to defending a diverse clientele.
Richman holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Florida Gulf Coast University and a Law degree from Nova Southeastern University. During her time at Nova, she was actively involved in the Nova Trial Association and earned the highest grade award in the Criminal Justice Clinic, affirming her dedication to the profession.
She prides herself on her exceptional communication and oral advocacy skills, which have been crucial in her pretrial motion practices and overall success in the legal field. Her ability to effectively navigate the law was recognized in 2015 when she received a BACDL hat trick for securing three consecutive NOT GUILTY verdicts, a highlight of her career.
Outside the courtroom, Richman’s life revolves around her family. She is a wife and mother to two wonderful young daughters, and their home is also shared with two rescued dogs—an Australian shepherd mix and a cavapoo. The Richman family are avid sports fans, especially of the Miami Dolphins and the Florida Panthers, enjoying many joyous moments together cheering for their favorite teams.
Krista Richman views her role as a criminal defense attorney not just as a job, but as a calling. It’s about fighting for justice, advocating passionately for her clients, and making a difference in their lives while balancing her career with cherished moments with her family and enjoying life’s simple pleasures.
