Plain and simple the best attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with

I’m going to be brief here listen to me and listen. Well if you’re facing any issues that fall the area of the practice of this angel of an attorney you better hire her on the spot. I had a very delicate situation that I had moved out of state she managed to wipe it clean without me having to return ...to the state of North Carolina. She’s worth every penny she asks for and when she ask you for her services retainer, make sure you also send her a tip because you are going to feel compelled to do so because she fights for you and she does a hell of a job. I’ve spoken to five other attorneys prior to her. She reached out to me on a Sunday and bothered herself and took care of my case within 48 hours I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. This is very genuine higher. This attorney without a question Mrs. Roger’s rocks

Highly Recommended

Raushanah is absolutely phenomenal. She did not come off as just attorney but gave me such excellent client service that made me feel like she was that genuine friend/family. She was very professional, honest and absolutely detailed in my consultation. Her in-depth knowledge of the law put my mind at... ease. She was very logical and creative in her approach that was tailored to suite my situation. It’s nice to have a good lawyer but it’s better to have a great one and that she is.
