Amazing Attorney very grateful

I had an amazing experience working with Roger Senders. He was the 3rd attorney I went to, trying to get help understanding the differences of my dad's original and revised Trust & Will. He spoke to me with great patience, clarity, and knowledge. He was generous with his time and compassionate ...for what all this meant to me and my sister. I can't recommend him enough and deeply trust his knowledge, professionalism, intelligence, fairness, care, honesty, patience, and willingness to offer more clarity if we needed. Roger also consulted with a colleague regarding a specific CA law to ensure accuracy, which I really appreciated especially bc my dad had dementia when his Trust was changed with his wife. So I appreciate that he was very thorough and humble too. His heart is pure & kind and his mind is very sharp. He is patient and his knowledge is extensive. Beyond valuable. Thank you deeply Roger for restoring peace in my heart, mind & family.

A experienced Attorney that cares

I have used Roger's services numerous times in the last nine years. He incorporated my business, drew up contracts, won a judgment for me in Civil court and have given me very sound advice countless times. I will definitely continue to use Roger's services and will recommend him to anyone.

I don’t recommend retaining this lawyer

I reached out to Mr. Senders on behalf of my sister with respect to a landlord tenant issue. Mr. Senders made positive representations about himself via phone, and subsequent emails, and we agreed on a set of actions he would perform for an initial fee of $600. Unfortunately, Mr. Senders failed to pe...rform any of the aforementioned steps he agreed to take on our case. Instead, he made just two brief phone calls to the landlord (he claims to have made two phone calls but I have no way of corroborating his claims) and then sent us an email demanding aid dojo all funds because he claimed all of the deposit was depleted. When we asked for a itemized billing statement we discovered that he produced no work-product whatsoever and simply charged us to send emails back and forth with us. He failed to perform any of the tasks we hired him to do. I found this lawyer to be the pinnacle of all of that wrong with the legal profession. Considering how sensitive landlord tenant issues are, I do not recommend this lawyer at all. You will spend money with no results.

Thumbs up!

Choosing the right attorney for oneself is not a simple task, and can be a stressful process. Roger is unlike many attorneys. He takes an extra care and concern in making you feel comfortable and confidant as a client. He has a great amount of patience, and is very thorough with his communication. ... I have utilized Roger as an attorney for many of my business and personal needs. His expertise and knowledge is extremely versatile, leaving me with confidence each time that all my needs are being met. Great lawyer!
