Honest and reliable
Marakay Rogers helped me with a child custody case recently. She was honest and upfront with me about what we would be dealing with and our chances for success, although they were limited. Not only did she let me know what to expect, she was in my corner every step of the way. With her knowledge and persistence, we won the case on every count. Every phone call that I've left for her was returned in a reasonable amount of time and any necessary paperwork was delivered quickly. I'm happy to use her again and to recommend her to anyone who wants to know that they have a fighter with them in their corner.

#1 in my book...
I have been fortunate to have had Ms. Rogers represent me on several occasions. All I can say is this: Any attorney who can put up with me as a client, and still hold her own in any courtroom is a winner in my book. I would recommend Marakay anytime, any day.

Professionalism
Not only would I recommend her, I have recommended her several times and all with the same experience I have had, very pleased. I have also worked for her as a Paralegal and her professionalism in every case is beyond reproach. Ms. Rogers never ceases to surprise me at the varied amount of law she has worked with and retains knowledge of.

highly recommend
Marakay provided services for my family when we desparately needed help in relation to a debt counseling service we had gone through. The debt counseling service was not very good or helpful,but fortunately for us they led us to Marakay's services and she was assigned to our account. We have been extremely satisfied with her representation on our behalf.

In My Humble Opinion
MJR was and is very personable. In preparing our case she challenged us to use our skills to prepare the documentation we needed for her to represent us and win a sizable decrease in our assessment. When we needed other professionals to bolster our case she had the appropriate contacts. The Chairperson of the Review Board complimented MJR on her preparation and the excellent exhibits. She credited us with the work, but she was ready to make the argument and we won. We have used MJR for several different cases and all of our experiences have been positive.

unreliable
To keep this short and sweet, I wouldn't recommend this women to anyone. She us unresponsive, unprofessional, rude and just plain wrong. I read these other reviews and wonder if relatives wrote them about her. If shes currently your lawyer. GOOD LUCK.
