Tax Liens and Clouded Title

I cannot recommend Missy Cornejo highly enough. I was in an incredibly stressful situation trying to access the equity in a home I co-owned with my ex-husband. Although I had lived in the home the entire time it was not disclosed to me that a lien had been placed on the property do to his lack of pay...ing the Franchise Tax Board taxes and there is also a clouded title. I had spoken to several attorneys and no one was willing to take my case - until I found Missy. She stepped in with confidence, clarity and a plan. Missy navigated the legal complexities with professionalism and persistence, ultimately helping me clear the title issue and access the equity I deserved. She was always responsive, knowledgeable and compassionate throughout the entire process. From the very beginning with the other party she was direct, clear and did not bend when pushed and stood firm. She consistently communicated and handled a complicated legal situation with strength, and precision, and because of her persistence, I was able to move forward. If you are facing a complicated property or lien issue, especially one involving tax liens or co-ownership disputes, Missy is the attorney you want in your corner. I am beyond grateful for her help.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I hired Rossie Hamerslough Reischl & Chuck law firm for a real estate partition dispute with a family member. Missy Cornejo, my lead attorney, was professional, knowledgeable, and provided clear, confident guidance throughout the process. She was always responsive to my questions. Having Missy’s... strong representation in some challenging and intimidating situations, gave me confidence that she would get a fair outcome in my case. I am so glad I had her on my side! I highly recommend her for any real estate related cases.

Crushed our lawsuit opponent in late 2022

I hired this firm in 1-2021 to sue my neighbor for damage to my property from his tree roots. We asked for (1) removal of the 3 offending trees and (2) substantial monetary damages. In 5-2021, Missy took over the case, her opponent being the attorney for the neighbor's homeowner insurer, Liberty M...utual. In 12-2022, this settled. The 3 trees were removed, and the insurer paid the max it was allowed to pay in its liability policy, which was several hundred thousand dollars. This was about the best we might have hoped for ! Missy's talents compared to her opponent were day-and-night, completely one-sided. Would certainly recommend her, anytime.

Highly Recommend for Easement Dispute

RHRC recently represented my partner and me during an easement dispute with a neighbor. Immediately after our initial consultation, it was obvious that Missy Cornejo was exactly who we needed to help us resolve this issue. She provided clear and authoritative guidance on what our rights were and th...e recommended course of action. Throughout the process, she was professional, confident, and firm with the opposing counsel. And by the time we concluded, we had an agreement in place that gave us the peace of mind knowing that we had established the right set of boundaries and we had a common understanding of the easement with our neighbor. Missy was truly exceptional. I highly recommend RHRC. Actually, I already have to others, and will happily do it again.

Steadfast, calm, factual, direct, empathetic, patient, no BS.

RHRC was the best law firm we could have chosen when dealing with a situation that lasted about six years. Ron Rossi was recommended to us via very close and personal friend. He brought Missy Cornejo into the lead for our case and we could not have been more pleased. Ms. Cornejo was unwavering in her... calm demeanor and determination to help us get resolution in our matter. Even through Covid, she helped us stay focused while her firm navigated the closures and delay of the legal system. It was important that we could trust Ms. Cornejo because our case affected our entire family of four for a very long period of time. She understood how important our case was to our future quality of living and home life. We knew we would eventually get to a positive end of a very long and frustrating dispute. We had the right lawyer by our sides and would highly recommend RHRC and Missy Cornejo. We will definitely refer her - she is an expert in her field.
