Excellent Choice

Legal issues have the potential to impact the way you live your life completely. Unfavorable outcomes can limit employment opportunities, housing choices, the ability to cast votes that reflect your values, your overall brand and reputation...the list goes on. Realizing this, I was in a situation i...n which I did not think the attorney I'd hired to represent me clearly understood either my story or how much these things meant to me. As a result, I researched and found Attorney Rodgers. From the initial consultation, I clearly understood why the other reviewers on this site gave her such high ratings. She not only took the time to understand each facet of my case, including the extenuating circumstances that led me to the courtroom, but also understood my personal goals. Her strength lies her ability to build relationships on both sides of the table in order to obtain the most favorable outcome for her clients. She seeks not only to assist with the issue at hand but delves into other areas in which she may be of assistance along the way in order to see her clients restored as completely as possible. This is rare. She is rare and worth much more than she charges. My only regret is not finding her earlier in the process.

Posted by William | June 01, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Thanks for representing me!

I would like to thank Attorney Rodgers for helping me throughout my DUI case and getting the positive results I personally thought were impossible! Attorney Rodgers is a very knowledgeable attorney who knows the ins and outs of the court system. It was my second DUI, and she got me a much better res...ult than I expected. She was an honest attorney, who didnt beat around the bush just to make you feel better, but gave me options and planned out what she and I can do to achieve better results. She represented me with utmost professionalism, and basically stuck by me throughout my whole ordeal and for that I have and will continue to recommend Attorney Rodgers

Civil Matters

I had a civil matter and I live out of state was not able to attend. I hired attorney Rodgers and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the dedication and commitment that she had to my case. She kept me in the loop on everything that was going on and as soon as the case was resolved she contacted ...me to let me know that the case was dismissed. If you want somebody who is going to fight and treat your case as if you're the only case she is the one to hire.
