Raushanah Rodgers is the only Attorney you will ever need!

This is the third time I've hired Attorney Rodgers for a legal matter. I recently was pulled over and cited for a minor traffic violation that turned into an alleged Driving Will License suspended citation where the police took my license and requested that I park my vehicle. During the traffic stop..., I felt i was being racially profiled so I actually texted Attorney Rodgers and told her what was going on and she called me and stayed on the phone with me while the police were discussing with me and she advised and provided guidance to me, which kept me calm. She handled my case as she has done several times before with professionalism. I have so much confidence in her that I didn't worry at all. On my court date, she went to court and represented me and later contacted me to let me know the case was dismissed! I am so grateful that I have found such a tremendous and amazing attorney and advocate. Attorney Rodgers is the absolute best! If you hire her, i guarantee you will not be disappointed!! I recommend her to everyone I come in contact with that needs an attorney. She is just as amazing as all of her reviews say she is.

Satisfied Client

Where do I begin???? Our client/attorney relationship spans more than 12 years. Twelve years for a reason!!!! Attorney Rodgers is one of the most hardworking integral attorney's in the game today. She not only takes pride in her legal work but herself as well. She is a detail oriented attorney. S...he speaks the language of the people. Every scenario that could possibly be attributed to your case has been visited before you reach the courtroom. I have had attorney's in the past and that is where I left them but I am honored to say that I THANK GOD for Attorney Rodgers and she is here to stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone that I know that needs legal counsel. The absolute BEST for Attorney Rodgers is YET to come.

Let’s just say you have my personal number for a reason. I consider you as a very important person that I met, came to know and partnered with day one of my legal practice. You can call on me anytime to assist and with God’s blessing we will get it done. Any court room, any block, any city.....so long as I’m licensed there. Thanks for this review! The appreciation is the same.

Great Lawyer

Having Ms. Rogers to represent me has been a great experience.. She will go the extra mile to make sure her clients are satisfied. On one occasion, I needed to get a POA for my mother while she was in the hospital so I could take care of her affairs. Ms. ROGERS came to the hospital were I was and go...t the paperwork done for me that day with no problem. That really meant a lot to me that she took time out of her busy schedule to get the paperwork done quickly... I have used her on numerous times and she’s NEVER fell to delivery! I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer to represent me! SHE IS THE BEST!!!!

The Attorney for the job!!

I hired attorney Rodgers in a lawsuit case everything was perfectly executed. Despite me not understanding the process and never being in this situation I was afraid because I didn’t know what was going on .She kept me calm and educated me on the process and also kept me up to date with what was goi...ng on in the case via email and or by phone which is important in legal matters. She was very professional and always stayed one step ahead in the case. She was strategic informative , competent and responsible. I Would confidently recommend to all my friends and family and would certainly use again.

True Professionalism

Attorney Rodgers was very clear in explaining all of the options that best suited my circumstances. She returned my phone call promptly and spoke to me like she truly cared about my situation. Ms. Rodgers is thorough and professional. I was glad to find that she may not tell you what you want to hea...r but definitely tells you what you NEED to hear.
