Cape Coral isn’t just where we work—it’s where our story began.Our family’s connection to this beautiful city dates to 1962, when Gram and Pap became one of the first families to build their retirement home near the iconic Cape Coral Yacht Club. What started as a dream for them quickly became a cherished tradition for us. Every year, our family would gather here—sun-soaked days, waterfront memories, and the kind of togetherness that only Cape Coral could offer. It was more than a vacation spot; it was a second home.In 2004, we made it official. We planted our own roots in Cape Coral, purchasing our own slice of paradise and continuing the legacy that began over 60 years ago. Today, we’re proud to live, work, and serve in the community that has given our family so much.Cape Coral isn’t just a location—it’s a legacy. And we’re honored to be part of its story. “One aspect of practicing law, that never ceases to amaze me, is that, even after more than 27 years in practice, I am still finding interesting and unique clients, questions of law, and new tools and skills from evolving technology frontiers!

They spent two weeks flying around Southwest Florida looking for land to develop.Rosen’s changed the wilderness into a waterfront paradise, a place for selling and buying dreams. Cape Coral was to become the largest master-planned community in the United States.
