Great lawyer

Roger consulted my divorce and bankruptcy case. He gave me great advice and was a great help to my case. He's fair and very responsive to calls and emails. He doesn't cheat his clients like some of the attorneys I talked to.

He’ll tell you how it is

One of the most difficult things to deal with when you’re experiencing a bankruptcy situation is the emotional impact. All the fear and uncertainty, and the reasons associated with enduring this legal marathon can really tax your mind and emotions in unexpected ways. Roger will not candy coat anythin...g. He doesn’t want your life story, though he does care deeply, he only wants to make sure you make it through successfully. That’s a leap of faith because it’s a scary process to see through the collapse of everything you thought you had. But Roger is a pro and if you let him will guide you away from your own fears and negative emotions and lead you from the darkness to the light. Yeah. He’s that good.

Hands down the BEST Lawyer!!!

I heard about Roger from a friend, she titled him as" the best lawyer she's ever met". After him helping me resolve my case I too have no doubt he is the BEST. I had a time share that was co purchased with an ex who refused to pay his half as promised and i was left stuck with this payment and subse...quent annual fees. Roger was able to get the time share holders to come to an agreement of a certain payoff and take the time share back. He fought hard on my behalf and was formidable ,well organized, meticulous and brilliant. With his wise and witty attitude he made me feel like I was in good hands. He was always accessible, he gave great and practical advise.With all these qualifications I am certain that he is the BEST and will do his BEST at the task assigned to him.

A++++ Lawyer!!!

I came to Roger when I needed help with my student loans and my rising debt situation. He assured me from the beginning that he would be able to get me back on track and in good standing with all of my debt collectors. Sure enough, within 6 months I had my financials under control on a very reasonabl...e payment plan and my credit went back to normal. During the process he was very prompt returning my calls or emails immediately and met me at my convenience when needed. Contacting Roger was the best decision I could have made!
