Before becoming an attorney, Scott M. Rosso worked undercover in retail loss prevention, where he led his region in apprehending individuals involved in organized retail theft—including grab-and-run incidents, credit card fraud, ticket switching, booster box use, and other external theft operations. This frontline experience gave him a firsthand understanding of how theft cases are built, how suspects are identified, where procedural errors often arise, and how reported loss amounts can be inflated or mischaracterized. He now uses that insight to challenge flawed investigations, scrutinize prosecution evidence, and protect clients from overcharging or wrongful arrests.
