Special Needs Requires A Special Attorney

My wife and I have a special needs daughter. Since we wanted to be certain that she would be financially taken care of we hired Rose to rework our living will. She made us feel very comfortable and we were impressed with her knowledge.

Excellent, Professional and Friendly

My husband and I like to keep our business local. This firm had a booth at one of our local commuinty fairs. Very pleasant from the begining. After talking to Rose I learned she was very involved in our local commuinity events and the firm had been around for quite some time. Very personal and freind...ly expereince. I am recommending to freinds and family and highly reccommend to you.

The face of honesty!

What I appreciate about Rose the most is her deep seeded sense of how to treat a client: how she would like to be treated. She doesn't recommend taking legal action that isn't necessary. She doesn't talk someone into doing a bankruptcy if there are things she can do to avoid it. She doesn't set up... a trust for estate planning unless the situation warrants it. In my situation, she helped me do the partnership agreement for my new business and was not only sensitive to the cost, but also gave helpful suggestions of what she's seen in other entities. I refer clients to her as often as I can with full confidence that they will be well taken care of.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Ms. Coonen for almost 7 years now. I worked with her as my boss and, now, as my partner. Ms. Coonen practices with such diligence and integrity, that I knew partnering with her would be one of those 'great life choices'. Ms. Coonen refuses to set aside her morals and standards of integrity for any reason. She is trustworthy and a very zealous advocate! She has passion and puts her heart into all that she does! I highly recommend Ms. Rose A. Coonen!!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
