Excellent result

Mr. Roof handled our trademark litigation for us and obtained an excellent result. I found him to be a very practical attorney, able to sift through the complicated issues and help us come to a settlement without running up big attorney's fees. I was quite pleased.

Posted by Gayle | February 08, 2010 | Foreclosure

Highly recommend

Mr. Roof handled our foreclosure and his legal advise helped us immensely. As a result we are still in our home.

Excellence, Innovation and Dependability

Stephen Roof is a consumate professional who can quickly grasp all pertinant issues when presented with any request for his legal advice or services. Stephen ensures that once he has all the information regarding his client's need for services, I have found his approach to be comprehensive and innova...tive. I am an Architect that was working on a Project with the City of Miami that involved aviation regulations. It was my understanding that one of Stephen Roof''s areas of expertise was in aviation law and it was my good fotune that his knowledge base turned into an invaluable resource in realizing a challeging Project. His adept grasp of all key issues and the technical command he exhibited with the various Authorities having Jurisdiction over the Project were key success factors in achieving our proposed design.
