Michael Rock Rocheleau

The year is 1992. It was ladies’ night at Rockabillys, a long-gone country bar that was on Boulder Highway. Rock saw Stacy country dancing and was determined to ask her to dance with him. It didn’t matter that he was wearing military boots, a baseball hat instead of a cowboy hat, was from Boston, and had never done a two-step in his life. Rock wouldn’t get a chance to dance with Stacy that night. But persistence is his middle name (actually, his middle name is Rock, and his first name is Michael). It would take several weeks before he saw Stacy again and was able to convince her to dance with him. 28 years later, and Rock is still dancing with that little cowgirl.

Persistence is a good trait to have. Rock had to be persistent in his goal to become a Las Vegas divorce lawyer. He’s been a paralegal with the firm since 2010. For the last ten years, Rock handled everything from paralegal duties to marketing to accounting at Right Divorce Lawyers. All while finishing his undergraduate degree and attending law school at night.

Rock is a graduate from the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a degree in Social Sciences. Prior to this degree, he earned an associates in Avionics Technology while in the United States Air Force. Rock graduated with his law degree from UNLV’s Boyd School of Law in 2019.

Personal Insights;

What is an odd skill you have? I can juggle and roller skate. But, not at the same time. I’ve been roller skating since I was a little kid. A few years ago, I taught myself how to juggle to help attract people to my kid’s lemonade stand. I was hoping juggling would bring customers to their stand. It did.

Do you have a bucket list item? To visit every baseball park in America. Current stadiums visited is at 11. I’ve got some work to do.

What is your all-time favorite movie? Saving Private Ryan. Not even a close second. I have never been more moved by a movie in my life. I can’t imagine the courage those young boys had during that war. It was just incredible, moving, and humbling. In complete contrast La La Land is my second favorite movie of all time.

Something quirky about you? Oh, my. I could give you a huge list. How about that I love the smell of brand new books. Sometimes I will go into a book store or library, open a book and smell the pages. Was that maybe too quirky to have shared?
