Not Hiring Raushanah would be Reckless!

This is the second time that I have used Attorney Rodgers for a legal matter...the first matter she handled my family law matter. This time, I had the opportunity to retain Attorney Rodgers for a reckless driving charge and driving about 20 over the speed limit in a county 2 hours from the Raleigh-D...urham area, not to mention i had an order for arrest because I missed my court date. I called attorney Rodgers and she handled everything!! She even drove to the county courthouse and appeared on my behalf, so i didn't have to go to court! Order for Arrest Dismissed and the charges reduced!! I cannot be more pleased with her! I love working with her because she gets the job done and I have complete confidence in her! Not choosing her would be reckless!

Posted by MH | August 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Attorney Raushanah F.Rodgers fought for justice!

Intelligent, Confident, Resilient, Impactful, Determined, Dedicated, and Fierce – All words that I can use to describe Attorney Raushanah F.Rodgers. In our country with all of its freedoms, it is still quite easy to find yourself in a situation where you have to fight for your basic rights a ci...tizen. Without the proper representation, anyone can fall victim to the system that is designed to serve and protect. In October of 2016 my husband found himself in that situation. He was unlawfully detained and charged for being tested for DWI, which is not a crime, especially if you passed the test and he was not driving. There were several layers of the unlawful encounter. In my opinion Lady Justice is not always fair, when he first went to trial in District court, the ruling was not in his favor. There were many in the gallery as onlookers, including other attorneys that commented that the evidence and testimony presented should have immediately yielded a dismissal. They were in shock at the ruling. Attorney Rodgers was thorough in uncovering blatant untruths revealed by law enforcement. She refused to accept defeat on his behalf and appealed the case through a higher court. Blazing with a strong desire to seek justice for her client, she left no stone unturned. She never missed a detail in her questioning of law enforcement and presenting evidence. Her continued strategy revealed more intentional dishonesty. She was able to prove beyond all reasonable doubt to the court that law enforcement was wrong in even approaching my husband. The case was dismissed due to the expertise and dedicated professionalism during our case. I know without a doubt that if it had not been for Attorney Raushanah F.Rodgers, his name would not have been cleared. Even though the case is dismissed the effects of this charge has a layered effect. With any profession, A DWI is a serious charge, as a Subcontractor in the Commercial Hauling Industry it deems to be even more detrimental as a holder of a CDL Class A license. She continues to work on his behalf to right the wrongs after being charged with this crime. In my observation she has the strategic mind of a 5 star general, the heart of a Lion and the grace of a queen. I wholeheartedly endorse Attorney Raushanah F.Rodgers as a warrior, and a force to be reckoned with. Ms. Rodgers, Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. We are forever grateful.
