Professional and knowledgeable... helping us every step of the process

Joy Rothenberger assisted my partner and I for legal assistance with the path to citizenship. Joy was always accessable for our many questions and assisted us patiently with all the paperwork to be filed. Joy was present with us every step of the way. I would recommend Joy to anyone needing legal ass...istance. Joy is professional, knowledgeable, and truly a pleasure in handling all our legal affairs in a timely manner. Thank you Joy

Professional but yet reachable

My husband and I used attorney Rothenberger's services almost two years ago. Prior to meeting Joy I had hired another attorney to assist us in our case. That decision turned out to be a complete nightmare, had it not been for the professional services of Joy our situation would have still been a... disaster. She handled our case with such attention to detail answering every question and addressing each concern. Her years of experience and knowledge in regards to the various laws was astounding. I would feel very comfortable recommending her services to anyone with the certainty that she will get the job done.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
