Absolutely the best!

Roger was amazing in all areas of my case. We dealt with divorce as well as sole custody of my child. I was nervous about the entire process but Roger put my mind and my worries at ease every single time I spoke with him. He was available for me 24/7! He also doesn’t treat you like your just one of h...is clients, he treats you as a friend who only wants the best for you. In the end he was able to get me everything I could’ve imagined wanting when going through a process like this. I highly recommend Roger 100%!

he delivered well beyond my expectations

I had a post divorce issue that I needed addressed. I met Roger and I told him exactly what my problem was. he layer out the options that were available to in language that was easy for me to understand. during the whole course of the action he was always available to me. it seemed like he was always... working. I'd wake up in the morning and I'd have an email waiting for me. I always admired how he was a straight shooter and kept me on an even keel. In the end I took his advise and everything worked out to my advantage. I highly recommend him.

Darlene - custody

Roger has been a godsend. He is an excellent attorney who is very passionate about his clients cases and he is extremely knowledgeable in his field. I have been working with roger over the past 3 years during my custody case. I had a previous attorney who basically screwed up my case (Due to her o...wn negligence) where the father got temporary custody and I was only allowed to see my children on weekends. I was distraught and i was desperate for help. I hired Roger through referral and this was the best decision I could have made. Roger came in and cleaned up this mess. Within a few months I was able to get a much more fair schedule with the children. Roger has been consistent in his approach to me and his advice. Roger possessed all the qualities my prior attorney lacked which included great communication with me , genuine concern for my situation , always staying on top of matters , available 24/7 and always helping to keep me emotionally stable during this distressing time in my life by helping to keep things in a realistic perspective. I am happy to say we were finally able to settle my case last month without going to trial and i pretty much got what I wanted in all of this. The most important thing is that it worked out for the children in the end. If you need a knowledgeable , caring attorney who Is not about taking your money but will deliver on his end and make this process bearable , then Roger is your man. I have referred him to someone already and will continue to highly recommend him.
