Richard H. Rose

We were referred to Attorney Rose by his colleague, Barbara Richmond, who was my excellent divorce attorney 18 years ago. Richard went outside his usual are of practice and helped us with a landlord dispute over a vacation rental house whose failed septic system ruined our summer and forced us to vac...ate with nowhere to go. (Our own house in the Vermont mountains was rented out for another month and we could not return home.) Although this dispute was outside Richard's usual practice of family law, he advised and represented us expertly. He clearly described the options available to us, including the possibility of seeking considerable damages in court and all the time and preparation that would entail, so we could confidently weigh the risks and benefits. We were able to reach an out of court settlement with the landlord that included a refund of our rent plus legal fees. We were not only satisfied with the fairness of the settlement, but working with Attorney Rose restored our faith in human decency and kindness. Richard has a wonderful sense of humor, is patient, polite, knowledgeable and compassionate. His wonderful demeanor transformed an ugly experience; instead of being haunted by our awful summer, we'll always remember meeting a really good person who helped us. I've now had two flawless experiences with this law firm. It is heartening to know that smart, good people are out there to assist us legally when we need it. My husband and I recommend Attorney Rose and his firm wholeheartedly.
