GREAT ATTORNEY - PRACTICES WITH HER HEART

MS. ROGERS represented me in an stalking matter where I was the victim. He compassion and empathy showed. Her performance int he courtroom put me at ease - she had command of the facts and the respect of the judge. The person who was stalking me is in jail now and I feel safe. I want to thank Ms.... Rogers for her tremendous heart for standing up for me and against violence.

Horrible

Maria was hired to do my divorce 3 years ago. 3 years later-I’m still married! I lost out in mediation with many things and when I tried to voice my concerns and ask questions, she slammed down her pen and shouted at me. She was so rude she made me cry and the lawyer doing the mediation excused me fr...om it due to her behavior. I haven’t heard from her in over a year. She is terrible.

Unfortunately those who leave anonymous reviews are suspect of providing false information. Obviously this is not a true situation. I have no opened dissolution cases and only practice criminal and juvenile law. I do not use Avvo review system as it is not verifiable and inaccurate. There has never been a situation in a mediation that i or most attorneys as described would behave in such a fashion. We live in a world where folks can hide behind a fake email and try to knock out their competition. All I can say this is a fake review.

The best!

I retained Miss Rogers to represent me in a felony matter. She did an excellent job negotiating and keeping me calm and positive. Not only was she knowledgeable and compassionate, she was very personable and became like a family member. I am forever grateful to her.

SELFISH AND INCONSIDERATE

This is a selfish and inconsiderate lawyer. She puts her personal needs before her job. Does not advocate to fight for your case even with substantial evidence provided. I hired Mrs Rodgers to defend a case in which it should have been an open shut case in my opinion. I had to do all the investig...ating work to prove my innocence. After which still ending up taking a plea deal. I was unemployed and could not find work. Going to trail would have cost more money that I didn't have. Poor communication skills, and she waits until the day of your court hearing to share any information with you. These lawyers only want your money. Do you diligence in researching a good CA. This is not the one.

Worst attorney I have seen. And worked with.

I waited to finalize my divorce with another attorney before reviewing Maria. She worked in my case and from the beginning I have not had a worse experience. She was slow in getting back to me. But quick to get paid. I won’t spend alot of time here. But she took my money and basically did nothing. ... Even telling me we had to start all over because she lost all computers at one point. Said they crashed. And we needed all documents from me again. Only 5 reviews. Here. That should tell you all you need to know. Never would consult for a even a minor need. Much less the most painful time of my life. When we need competence. And a professional. Buyer beware.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Admonishment issued in FL, 2010

updated on 05/19/2016

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Maria’s comment:

“The client threatened the attorney. The attorney filed an injunction for protection. The initial review substantiated my position of which that person appealed. The individual has had previous injunctions and a mental health condition. I was the 5th attorney.”
