If you want your child safe, and your FINAL JUDGEMENT to be adhered to DO NOT HIRE

He does NOT represent me, and will not return any emails, or answer his office phone, as HE DOES NOT HAVE TOO. This is coming from a worried mother, our child is being exposed to awful events. Mr. Rogers does nothing but allow his client to continue to put our child in danger. If you want your child ...safe DO NOT CHOOSE HIM. His assistant Brittany, makes personal calls to my child's father, expressing her opinions of me and how she thinks things should go, not to mention including the flirting with him. That's just disgusting and unprofessional. She hangs up on me, she will not listen she just wants to argue. I am truly lost and I pray god heals him and reminds him why he is a family law attorney including a criminal one. Does a criminal attorney usually allow his own client to commit crimes ? It seems so. God bless you all and your families.

Bad Experience

This lawyer failed to communicate. My emails and questions were left unanswered. I scheduled a phone call and he never called me! I spent all of my savings but it still wasn't enough for him to finalize my case. He did not achieve the successful outcome that was discussed on our initial consultation.... I was forced to hire a different attorney in the middle of the process. What a disappointment.

Working with Steve Rogers

Steve Rogers is a phenomenal attorney. I have known Steve personally for over a decade and never once thought I would need his professional services. However on one of the darkest days of my life I found myself in need of his help as a lawyer. I really never considered calling anyone else and Stev...e was there for me every step of the way. It would be my hope that no one ever need an attorney but if you do, Steve Rogers is your man.

Excellent Counsel Recceived from Stephen J Rogers

Mr. Rogers represented me during my protracted martial dissolution matter. Throughout the entire process he clearly outlined the procedures, filings and settlement sessions required under the law. He provided straight forward guidance as the case proceeded from discovery to resolution. Even as... the opposing side became increasingly hostile and began employing an array of legal tactics, including five changes in opposing counsel, Mr. Rogers was steady, clear and candid in his responses and pursued the best course of action to take. In the face of my ex-spouse and her array of attorneys, intentionally escalating the financial costs of the proceeding, I felt Mr. Rogers billed fairly and worked hard to keep my costs reasonable. Throughout multiple settlement and arbitration attempts, and an eventual emotionally charged three day trial, Mr. Rogers was composed, made clear arguments and represented my case concisely to the Court. I highly recommend Mr. Rogers to anyone looking for a no nonsense attorney with great experience who takes the time to understand your case.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"For any divorce or post dissolution matter in Martin or St. Lucie County, Steve Rogers should be your first call. Steve's office prides itself on being available for their clients, and then, doing what's necessary to get the job done. Every client ever referred to his office has called to thank us. He is well respected by his peers and the judges, and it is no wonder why he was one of six considered by the Governor's office for a circuit court judgeship."
