Richard W. Rousseau's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Rousseau is an outstanding attorney who always has his client's best interest in mind. He is an experienced, knowledgeable attorney who I would trust with the most complex of legal matters."
"RIck is a smart, aggressive, hard-working, likeable, clever and intrepid attorney. He loves a challenge and when you meet him you can tell he truly enjoys practicing law. This is important because you want an advocate who loves what he does and can get you excellent results. He was one of my supervisors when I was on active duty and I learned a lot from his mentorship. You cannot go wrong hiring him whether you hire him for a criminal case, a military matter or an estates and trust issue. Did I say he also has a Masters of Law in Taxation on top of everything else....? He is just one of the best."
