Listen to her and you will be alright

Ms. Otieno is extremely knowledgeable and upfront . Listen to her ! and you will be successful. There where times when I was a little aggravated and even offended by her statements . But she forces you to turn the mirror on yourself which is often needed in child custody cases . I just wish I had h...ired her years ago instead of going through so many other attorneys .

Client from a distance

My divorce was riddled with coorespondence from the opposing side. As I live in Connecticut and the proceedings took place in MD, this whole situation could have been messy. My ex-husband tried to make obtaining documents difficult. He just wanted to fight. But Rosalyn kept me very level headed ...when dealing with an irrational person, even though I live 5 hours away. If it was not for her, I may have said something to put my case in trouble. Rosalyn stayed on top of all the paper work and delivered them to me in a timely mannor. If there was a topic that was confusing to me, she was there to throughly explain the situation until I was able to understand. Although the process of divorce is messy and painful, Rosalyn helped to ease the legal aspect. I definitly felt as if I was in good hands. Rosalyn will coach you in a fair an equitable resolution. Just listen to her every expertise..

Rosalyn is the best!!!

Rosalyn was my divorce lawyer. At our mediation meeting she blew the other lawyer out of the water. Professional, knowledgable....she was/is constantly sending me updates to my case. I have sent a friend to her for services...I highly recommend her!

Great Attorney

I had to contact Ms. Otieno when my daughter's father filed joint custody papers for our then 5 year old daughter. I was frazzled and scared and didn't know what to do. I found Ms. Otieno on a website that gave referrals for attorney's. When I went to see her she was very informative and straight ...to the point. She explained things to me in a way that I could understand them and relate to what she was saying. She kept me informed throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend her and use her again if the need ever presented itself.
