An excellent negotiator on my side

For me, Rod was the result of an exhaustive search for an attorney with strong negotiation skills and knowledge of the issues important to my situation. He did not disappoint. He knows the judges, other attorneys and family law well and uses that knowledge to get the best result possible. In my case ...he saved me from disaster. All this while his staff showed real compassion. Even recently, while re-visiting his office, I was treated as an old friend.

Excellent attorney help with custody and divorce

Rod was invaluable to me during my divorce and custody battle with my ex husband. He was available, knowledgeable, attentive, and really saved my life. Thanks to him, I have my children and have been able to put my messy divorce behind me. His experience and knowledge of family law is beyond any othe...r attorney I came across and his professionalism was invaluable in court. I would without reservation recommend him to anyone and have throughout the years.

"Rod is one of the best family attorneys I know. I first met him in court, while he was arguing a move-away case and was so impressed by him that I introduced myself to him. Rod is a consummate professional. Not only is he one of the smartest persons I know, he is also very kind and really cares about his clients. Anyone who has Rod representing him/her is in great hands. I hope to be as good and knowledgeable as Rod one day."
