Great Help with CPA License Issue

Sig was a great help when dealing with the state board for CPA licenses. His helped move the process along and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Sig to anyone who needs assistance dealing with professional license issues.

Director Research and Education Foundation

Sig Roos represented our Foundation in a law suit that had a few moving parts and issues that I would expect are not normally seen by attorneys. His performance was excellent, in that his approach was well thought out, kept us fully informed of the various developments of our case, and, as a result, ...had a successful conclusion. I recommend him without reservation.

Colleague and Client

As a colleague, Mr. Roos demonstrated the highest degree of integrity in his client service. As my counsel, I found his work to be of the highest quality and performed in a strategic and cost-effective manner.

Efficient and Cost Effective Litigator

I have used Sig for several law firm collection matters. Sig handled the work in an ethical and efficient manner with great results. I highly recommend Sig for this type of work. I have also referred to Sig many types of litigation matters, ranging from intellectual property disputes to employee d...isputes that he has handled in an efficient, cost effective manner with great results.

Applying for medical licensure with history of DUI

I had recently graduated from fellowship training out-of-state and had moved to MA for a job offer pending my MA medical licensure. Unfortunately, not long before I graduated, I was charged with a DUI and had to disclose this information to the MA medical board for review. I hired Sig Roos to represe...nt me during the BORIM review process. Sig was honest and up-front with me regarding the time it would take for me to become licensed (it ultimately took ~5months); he was always available for questions I had regarding my case and application. After a board interview during which Sig was present, I was successfully licensed and am now practicing in my subspecialty with my original offered position. I am certain this process would have taken longer and been harder for me to navigate without his guidance. I highly recommend Sig to any physician with medical license related concerns.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
