The Definition of an Excellent Lawyer

From start to end, Rochelle was completely in charge of my case. She provided me with practical options and advice on how to approach my case and what the best solution for my situation was. She got through it all, from county to county, with difficulties in hand, and made her presence felt. T...hank you Rochelle for all of your efforts.

Knowledgable & Supportive

Rochelle helped to educate me on the process of obtaining a legal parenting agreement and advised me every step of the way. This is a difficult process and for my situation she ensured the process moved along as efficiently as possible no matter what circumstances cropped up. She communicated clearly... and effectively for me in correspondence. This helped to relieve some stress from me in this already stressful situation.

Excellent Family Lawyer

Rochelle was my family lawyer on the custody of my child. Initially, I had another who didn't care, neither respond to my emails or calls. After eight months of losing almost everything, including my hope, I decided to look for a new lawyer. I wanted someone who cares and really fight for the best ...interests of my son and me. I visited four lawyers, among them was Rochelle. She gave me peace of mind since day one. Now, after working with her, I can say she is honest and made me feel safe during all this process. She is professional, organized, made quick and intelligent decisions on my case. She is knowledgeable about family law and used it on my favor. A bonus is that she speaks Spanish. Easy for me to communicate in my native language. It was a very difficult case but she turned my almost lost case to a winning case. No words can express how happy and grateful I am to God who put Rochelle on my way. She is amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone in the need of a Family lawyer.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY AND HUMAN BEING.

Attorney Rochelle was my fourth attorney in a very long and difficult custody case. Having very complicated counterparts and child rep and judge mostly against, she was the only person willing to fight until the end for my child’s interests and mine. Her qualifications and professional ethics lead to... a favorable resolution in a case I had lost all hope. The results were absolutely amazing, I got more than I ever thought possible. She is absolutely professional and committed, as well as honest and very straightforward. If it’s important, my first language is Spanish, hers is perfect. I’ll always be really thankful with Rochelle.
