Exceeded all expectations

When I hired Tara, I honestly did not know how I would survive the thought of being divorced and raising children on my own. I was depressed, angry, and destroyed. Tara went above and beyond, was available to me anytime day and night, and she went toe-to-toe with opposing counsel who was very aggre...ssive and had years of experience on Tara. We prevailed on every issue. By the time we were done, I had my sanity back, money to survive, and more property then I expected. Tara's fees are fair and her staff is amazing. I highly recommend Tara and her team.

Powerhouse dynamo

I decided to hire Tara after attending a workshop she presented on family law. I was impressed with her quick wit, extensive knowledge of California family law and her confidence. She gave me much needed support during a tumultuous time. Tara is brillianty organized, thorough and one step ahead o...f the opposition. The prevailing thought I had during the entire process was, “I am so glad I’m not on the other side of this table .” Tara does not like to lose and she argues flawlessly. Her adherence to ethics cannot be compromised. Divorce is a nightmare and brutally stressful. Tara succeeded in winning me more than I expected. I can not say enough about how relieved and pleased i am with the job she did for me. Additionally, her staff is amazing, professional and delightful to work with . Teresa and Yolie are superstars in their own right . Thanks to all!

Absolute best attorney

I will start by saying that I cannot praise Tara Rojas enough. Having now been through the seemingly endless strife of a custody battle, I know that if you are reading this that life might be hard right now. This is why I feel compelled to write about my experience and how Tara helped me through it. ...She has been the bridge between me and a relationship with my children. My case was complicated and tough, but Tara got me through it all. My plight started with an ill-conceived marriage settlement agreement with a disingenuous former spouse. After taking up residence in another state, said former spouse then fabricated abuse allegations against me and got the court to cut off contact between me and my children. I consulted with several other attorneys, and did not get a good feeling. Then a friend referred me to Ms. Rojas, and the rest is history. I was confident in Tara’s ability to get the right outcome for my family from the moment that I met her. I went from being a stressed-out mess, to calm and confident. I attribute this to Tara’s tireless efforts on my case. She made me feel as if I was her only client, and I slept soundly knowing that she had my back. After our first meeting, she evaluated all courses of action, and kept me informed every step of the way. I feel it is important to mention that what set her apart from the other attorneys that I met was that she took the time to get to know me. By doing this, she was able to tell my story to the court. With truth on our side, after multiple hearings, a custody evaluation, and a trial, I now have sole legal and physical custody of my children. Tara disproved all my former spouse’s allegations, and now I am free to raise my family in a healthy environment. If you want the absolute best attorney to work on your behalf, then hire Tara Rojas.

Amazing lawyer and lady

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tara. When I came to her, I was a mess and so was my case. I had previously hired a lawyer who was terrible and that said lawyer made many HUGE mistakes. I felt defeated. Tara cleaned up those mistakes and she gave me hope again. She is very ethical, f...air, direct, and she always has a plan. She dug deep and pushed when she needed to (it was impressive). She always gave me choices with possible outcomes so that I could decide what was best for my situation. Tara was very personable and she truly cared about me, my family, and my outcome. She was always respectful, knowledgeable, and personable in the court room. She knows her stuff! I would highly recommend Tara for any divorce case. You won't be disappointed!

Tenacious, Kind, Fair, & Strategic

In searching for a family law lawyer my goal was to find someone who was tenacious and ethnical -- someone who knew where the 'ethical line' was and had no problem stepping up to it but wouldn't cross it. I knew I wanted to come from a place of love but I also knew I was about to have a child custod...y battle with a high conflict individual -- I was scared to death. Ms Rojas's strategic thinking, tenacity, consistent follow-through, and sense of humor are the only reasons I was able to embark on this journey. Ms Rojas was exceptional during every court hearing; very professional to fellow lawyers and court personnel. She advocated for me and my kids at every turn -- strategically mapping each and every step we took. She spoke up when necessary and also knew when it was best to be silent -- never losing her cool. While I was a nervous wreck she explained every step and would end each hearing with a smile on her face and a "it was a good day in court". She recommended specialists (co-parenting therapists, child therapists, & private mediators) that were highly-skilled & could see through the "smoke screen" my ex was creating. She was even able to negotiate a settlement with my ex's attorney; who was convinced we should go to trial so my high-conflict ex could 'clear his name'. Ms Rojas's advice to me throughout this past year not only helped me to succeed in court but has helped me navigate situations outside of my child custody dispute -- I am now, always, the most reasonable person in the room. I would highly recommend Ms Rojas (and already have) to anyone who is embarking on a change in child custody and/or beginning divorce proceedings. As my father stated multiple times, Ms Rojas is 'sharp' and an excellent family law attorney.
