“Onward”: The Attorney Who Never Stopped Fighting for Us

Richard stood beside me through the hardest fight of my life, and I will always be grateful that I had him in my corner. For two years, he helped me navigate a painful family court case involving domestic abuse, separation from my daughter, and my fight to build a safe future for us. I missed her ...kindergarten year, something I can never get back. There were so many tears and moments when I wondered whether I would ever get to be the mother I had always dreamed of being. Before finding Richard, my experiences with other attorneys left me feeling discouraged and unheard. I was told that what I was fighting for would never happen. But I knew what I wanted for my daughter, and I couldn’t give up on that. Richard listened, understood what I was working toward, and believed in me. Having someone with his knowledge and experience believe in our fight meant more than I can explain. Richard cared deeply about what this meant for us, and he was incredibly smart about how he handled it. He was always thinking two steps ahead. Even now, I look back at certain questions he asked or the way he worded something and realize just how much thought went into it. I trusted his judgment, even when I couldn’t see where things were going. We fought through setback after setback. Every email ended with one word: “Onward.” I don’t think he knows how much that word meant to me. Sometimes, it was exactly what I needed to keep going. My trust in Richard grew so strong that I felt I could take his hand and walk into hell with him confidently. He earned that trust over years of showing up, being prepared, and standing beside me when things felt unbearable. After three years, we finally reached a life changing outcome: I have my daughter for all of her schooling! There was a time when I was afraid that future would never be ours. Richard helped us get there, and I will never forget it. If you need a lawyer who will listen to you, believe in you, and bring real skill and determination to your case, I highly recommend Richard. He made a lasting difference in my life and my daughter’s. Onward.

Family Law

My experience was disappointing. While he may come across as a “gentleman,” he did not provide effective advocacy in my case. The supporting evidence did not appear to be carefully reviewed, and pivotal facts were glossed over.

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Richard Rose. He navigated an extremely complex situation, with integrity and care, making sure to protect my family. My outcome was the best possible scenario because of his expertise and guidance. I can’t thank him and his team enough for their support.
