Best Family Lawyer

Anything I write about Roseline will only be an understatement. I can't be lucky enough to have her represent my case. As a matter of fact, I had some family law firm represent my case, but after meeting Roseline, I requested her to represent me instead. Everything that can be pulled off in a family ...court happened in my case. It started with one case, and then came another, and it kept coming. Roseline is an excellent lawyer, very intelligent, dedicated, composed, and she has seen it all. Her background in criminal defense distinguishes her from other family lawyers. The way she cross-questions and represents in court is speckles. Her questions were direct, to the point, clear, and logically conclusive. The way she plans for court appearances, draft responses, and everything she does is something to learn from. She carries so many years of experience, at times, it felt as if she was reading Judge's mind. She has such a pleasing and cheerful personality, on meeting her, all my worries would just vanish. With her by my side, I always felt comfortable in court. She not only represented my case well, she is also a great life coach. The world will be so different if all lawyers were like her. Roseline is a genuine and honest person.

A big NO for family law

I am not sure how she is as a criminal lawyer but as a family lawyer, definitely a FAIL. Unfortunately she does not appear to have a grasp on the subject matter involving family law; she surrounds herself with incompetence; and she is argumentative to the point of egotistical. I understand that fu...lly grasping the law can be a life long challenge, however this lawyer acted more like a fish out of water in which I feel I ended up paying much towards her family law education. I wish it was just money that I had laid out but I also lost a lot of time, spent a lot of energy and did not fare well in regards to a precious piece of property. On more than one occasion it was requested that I provide information that took usually hours to prepare to only have it not included or used at all. I am really not sure that she didn’t mean to use it or it was accidentally left out by her or her staff since none of them ever seemed to have a handle on anything. One staff member didn’t have the ability to transcribe a single sentence...tried several times but just couldn’t copy a sentence...from one source to another as it was written, and even filed court documents with the mistakes. As far as bedside manners go, I get that some lawyers are a bit gruff, but hopefully they have the experience to back up their demeanor and make it work for them. That was not the case here. Family Law issues can be extremely emotional and are usually during a time where your life is being somewhat upended. The last thing that I wanted and even more so expected was to be yelled at and argued with and explained to by a lawyer who thought they were so right even when they were so blatantly wrong. A little humility would have been greatly welcomed.

Hello, we are very sorry to hear that we weren't able to provide you with the best possible service. Family matters are certainly emotional for those involved but it is my job to do my best to provide you with accurate legal advice. Sometimes this may not be what a client wants to hear but it is all in the effort to resolve the situation quickly and in a way that is best for all involved. It is never our intent to be argumentative but to simply educate my clients on all matters of family law. Additionally, we did make a mistake on our side and in an effort to correct that mistake, we did not charge you for that portion of our services and promptly corrected the issue. We are more than happy to discuss this further with you if you would like to contact our office.

peace of mind

Even though the lawsuit against me did not get to court (cancelled by the plaintiff), just knowing how Roseline was preparing for this gave me peace. I will continue using her services for 2 more cases involving money fraud.

Civil Case

As a (CEO) of the company for 25 years ,I have hired very many attorneys and this is the first time I have watched and seen a law firm listen to your case first and then make arrangement for my case,then ask for the payments after, and on top of that her suggestion and recommendation was right on th...e money. This is no joke, it's a fact.
