Integrity and concern

Roger was very concerned about our issues and if they would be ameliorated through litigation. He and his staff pushed our agenda with skill and energy. When we ran into a cutting edge of the law, Roger steered us around the unknown and helped us minimize our loss. We felt he truly cared about us thr...oughout the process, and reached a fair compromise.

Cope v MBNA

Roger was meticulous in discovery and in studying the Fair Credit Act in order to ascertain the viability of our case as well as the probability of a favorable judgment. He helped us understand our position and the potential pitfalls if we pursued the suit. While he was cautious in his overall app...roach, we also saw that he was willing to look at all aspects of the law and current trends in the credit industry to give us a robust representation. Most importantly he demonstrated integrity beyond reproach as he dealt with us, opposing counsel, and the mediation judge. We would highly recommend Roger to anyone seeking a competent attorney.
