A. Stephen Rocha

Attorney Stephen Rocha was very rude and condescending on the phone. I had seen some previous reviews regarding him on Google but didn't want to judge based off on that. However, I was wrong. He was very short on the phone and seems to expect you to know about law with no background. That conversatio...n was enough for me to determine NOT to use his services. Be wary of an attorney that works solo! It's likely because his personality is difficult to get along with.

My family and I have been working with Mr. Rocha for many years now, and he has been nothing less than the BEST! If you are looking for a lawyer that understands military Jargon, LES's, child support, child custody cases, move away cases and anything in between, this is the guy you want on your side.... I have read many reviews posted by others regarding Mr. Rocha, and I have to say, none of them give a true insight of his character or legal knowledge. This guy knows his trade inside and out, but if you are looking for a soft spoken, passive lawyer, that is afraid to stand thier ground and fight for you! Then Mr. Rocha is clearly not the guy for you. I am a US Navy veteran, a military spouse and a mother with a special needs child, and Mr. Rocha was able to relate to my specific life style and work hard on all of my cases down the years, and get me the best results. He has never lost a case I hired him for, and this my friends is for one reason....Mr. Rocha is the best of the best and when it truly matters, this is the guy you are going to want in your corner. BTW....Never forget, in this life, you get what you pay for...and I paid for results!

I hired Mr. Rocha to file my divorce. All my interactions after payment were challenging at best. He was very rude and condescending.  I felt that he was shaming me for not knowing the law. He would interrupt me after 3-4 words into my question. Overall I felt he was harsh and treated me with very li...ttle respect and patience. He offers a flat rate fee of about 500 for uncontested divorce. Basically he gives you the paperwork, you fill it out, and he files it for you. An easy 500 in his bank account. I've been working in customer service for over a decade now, with a respectable large corporation that's been around since 1936 and is now one of the top 3 insurance agencies in the U.S. I feel that I'm very knowledable of how customers should be treated and want to be treated. My apologies to Mr.Rocha for not having gone to law school. I don't question his knowledge of law, but question his ability to empathize with his clients that are clearly going through a difficult time. Better customer support would have led me to pay for more services. However my interactions with Mr.Rocha led me to seek legal advice elsewhere.

I hired Stephen back in August of 2012, I was scared and completely ignorant to the divorce process. Stephen really helped me through the entire horrific process, not only have I learned a great deal, but I am now confident. The prices are very cheap in comparison to other lawyers in San Diego, but m...ost importantly, he works with his clients to ensure that they are focused on the matter at hand and not the financial aspect of divorce. I can't begin to thank him enough for everything he has done for me, I am sure I haven't been the easiest of clients, especially because of my frequent calls, but he stood by me and to this day I have received everything that I asked for in regards to custody, legal rights, and child support. I would say that the main thing to keep in mind is that you have to set realistic goals, be honest with him, and most importantly, BE STRAIGHT FORWARD. I would like to end my review by stating that I am completely happy with Mr. Rocha's services, he is extremely experienced and aggressive.Thank you Mr. Rocha for everything you have done for me, your services have helped me to put a bad time in my life behind me.
