Superb Experience. Professional with a personal touch. Displayed an extraordinary understanding and extreme diligence.

I will recommend Rhia to everyone I know without hesitation. Her knowledge , experience and understanding of the intricacies necessary to successfully navigate the legal process were head and shoulders above my expectations. My dissoulution with child process took over a year and a half. Choosing a... lawyer was tough because let's be honest, lawyers have a certain reputation when generalized as a whole(Not Rhia). I found a lawyer who fit all of those stereotypes (Not Rhia) and promptly fired her in exchange for Rhia's services. Rhia was responsive , communicated clearly (without all that lawyer babble) and at no point did I ever feel like she wasn't paying attention. She even worked through her maternity leave when my family experienced a crisis . Every step of the way Rhia ensured I was informed and comfortable with each choice we made together. She presented facts, options, advice and so much more. In the long preparation for my case , I compiled a truckload of exhibits and information , all of which Rhia reviewed analyzed and utilized in my case. I was very impressed with the preparation process. Then we went to trial. RHIA KICKED ASS. Part of me feels like I should leave it at that but I will elaborate. Rhia is an expert in the courtroom. She was calm cool collected and calculated. Every Direct or Cross examination of a witness exemplified superior preparation and excellent skill in uncovering the truths of the situation. Wow. Words can't express how much Rhia has exceeded my expectations. If you have read this far, you are like me when I started this process. Doing whatever you can to find the right attorney and not get ripped off. Look no further because you will never find another attorney who is more fair. Honestly I would feel guilty in just paying Rhia the amount she asked for . She truly went above and beyond every step of the way. You would be crazy to even look up another lawyer.

Dedication, Support, and Real Care Towards My Rights and Unique Struggles As a Father

I have been in turmoil for over a year now since deciding to file for my divorce/custody case. During a time of desperation when I needed help protecting my child and the attorney I had been working with remained unresponsive, I sought out help from a family advocate center. I did my research fro...m the list the center had provided of lawyers they knew could handle my special circumstances and immediately zeroed in on Mrs. Gronberg. I have been thankful of this choice every day! Rhia responded to my very firsy inquiry with quick, helpful answers and the assurance that she was confidently proficient in handling cases like mine. She even went as far as to provide me with resources I could use to help myself while I weighed out retaining a new attorney. Since retaining her, Rhia has handled everything from small questions to urgent matters in a manner that's made me feel she genuinely cares about how my family is impacted every step of the way, and not once making me feel like I'm just another case on her list working/waiting on her time. She has even responded to a handful of pressing matters late at night and on weekends- which continues to be unexpected in the legal world, but has made all the difference in my case and life! Even during those "off-hour" responses, Rhia's pricing has remained the same, which is by far more fair and worthwhile than I've ever seen in any simar situation! My gratitude towards her attentiveness and understanding is immeasurable. These proceedings have not been easy at any step, but Rhia's expertise and encouragement have kept me going through every uncertainty and heart-wrenching blow as s a father in the judicial system. I'm certain I would have folded long ago and regretted it every day since and felt forced/defeated into surrendering my child to the will of my (soon to be) ex if I were under any other attorney's advisement. Whether you need a reliable professional to simply review a single legal document, or you need a compassionate attorney willing to partner for the long haul, Rhia will make you feel secure and like a top priority every step of the way. She's got the legal know-how with the personal touch of real care. I will continue to recommend her to anyone I meet in need of legal services!

Her preparation as my supervisee was always reliable and showed great insight, and her success as an independent practitioner is due to her preparedness, her excellent oratorical ability, and her keen insight into the merits of a matter."
