Exceptional

Even though there was a very tight deadline. Ms. Rodgers was very flexible and ensured that everything was covered and taking care off. Only able to meet 7pm and having late nights, showed how committed she is to her clients. Ms. Rodgers was very professional and knew what it took ensure that myself ...and family were taking care of. I definitely recommend her to anyone that is in need of a great lawyer.

Posted by Vernon | October 23, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Thankful Father

I am a non custodial parent that has fought hard to get court ordered visitation with my children (thanks to Attorney Rodgers). Recently I went through an issue where although I have court ordered visitation my ex wife threatened to disregard the court order. She came up with excuses and reasons why ...the visitation could not happen for the upcoming week. When she told me through text message that I could not have the children and the reasons why I immediately called Ms. Rodgers and told her what was going on. During our phone conversation Ms. Rodgers said that we would immediately file an emergency motion to show cause which would get my ex-wife into court quickly. We already had the documentation to show that she was not going to allow me to have the children for my week of visitation. I knew my ex-wife was serious about not letting me have the children for my visitation time but Ms. Rodgers told me to follow through on the court order even though we had a strong feeling that my ex wife would not comply with the court order. So I went to the meeting location just like Ms. Rodgers advised me to do and my ex wife never showed up (we still have to follow the court order even if the other side does not want to). The good thing is Ms. Rodgers already had things moving because she already filed the motion to show cause with the court. The judge immediately signed the motion and granted us a court hearing a few days after the exchange for visitation should have taken place. We went to court a few days later and the judge was not happy that the exchange of the children did not take place. The judge picked up on the lies that were being told by my ex wife. She was held in contempt of court for lying and placed in handcuffs and was on the verge of going to jail. The judge ordered the children to be brought to court and my ex wife would not be released until they got there. The children were finally brought to court by the mother of my ex wife and I was allowed to leave and enjoy the rest of the week of visitation with my children. I am not telling this story to be spiteful against my ex wife. I am telling this story to show the importance of having a good attorney representing you. The quick thinking and planning by Ms. Rodgers allowed me to enjoy the precious time that I have with my children. If it wasn't for her coming up with a game plan and quickly filing the paperwork the visitation would not have taken place and I would have missed out on valuable time with my children. Having a good attorney can make all the difference in the world when it comes to being in the lives of your children. If you are reading this review or know somebody that needs help I strongly encourage you to choose Attorney Rodgers to represent you. I have asked her to represent me on numerous occasions regarding different situations and I have always had a positive outcome. You need an attorney that is well respected and that can get you positive results. My situation is proof that Attorney Rodgers is the person you should hire.

Ability to do what most wont, and what few can

I was referred to Ms. Rodgers via a good friend. I was overwhelmed with the choices of attorneys, many people telling me they had good references to give me. I knew that I needed a strong attorney this time around. Let’s just say that my last attorney took top dollar but delivered less than stellar r...esults. I was facing a tough situation in which my child’s mother was attempting to bar me from my son’s life. She employed dirty tactics such as domestic violence orders of protection, having me arrested, attempting to have me fired from my place of employment, just to name a few. I had been to court previously and there was a visitation order in place, but she totally disregarded it. I felt I was led astray with my previous attorney. Because of this I contemplated trying to fight the system on my own. I soon realized I was out of my depth. For all the money I shelled out, I really had no rights or recourse. I needed a pit-bull, someone who would staunchly advocate for me. I chose Ms. Rodgers, and it was one of the best decisions I made during this process thus far. Ms. Rodgers took the time to speak to me for over an hour during our initial conversation. She gave me the feeling that I would be well taken care of. Her breathe of knowledge and experiences gave me the feeling that I had a strong ally at my side for the battles that were to come…. And she proved invaluable. With the help of Ms. Rodgers I was able to defeat all charges against me. I was able to rebuff my opponent, and even land her in jail. Ms. Rodgers is comfortable in a court room. She is aggressive and effective. She operated with skill and strategy. She laid a strong foundation with a tough judge. She outmatched the opposing counsel with ease. Money well spent. I left court feeling strong, empowered, and hopeful. I thank the Lord that she landed in my lap.
