The Barking Dog

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.

A great choice for family law!

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.

Gets to the facts and matter

I have seen him 5 or 6 years ago for representing me to file my divorce. He is a very lets get to the facts and gets the job done. I would recommend him based on his professionalism and would use him again if I had to.
