heartily recommend Ms. Rose

Ms Rose was great to work with and came through with excellent results for my case. In addition, she was very flexible in her hours to accommodate my needs. She was also extremely supportive such as through her generosity of letting me use her office equipment at times! Ms Rose was very knowledgea...ble about law related to my case and always acted very professionally.

I know who this but can only say that the statement is inaccurate. This person is distorting the whole sequence of events so if you have any concerns ever about my representation, all you have to do is call me and we can make it right generally. Patty

Top notch lawyer without the top notch attitude

Very well informed and intentioned lawyer. While I didn't prevail in my case, I am happy with the work she did and with her dedication to my case. Top notch lawyer without the top notch attitude.

I appreciate immensely the review especially when we were not successful in getting the outcome we both desired. These cases are tough emotionally and economically and often drain everybody's resources (both financial and emotional).

housing disability discrimination issue

Patty was a smart, compitent, assertive attorney who advocated for me at a recent mediation. I know that the successful outcome would not have been possible without her expert help along the many weeks prior to, and during this stressful process.

I firmly believe that resolution of cases outside of law suits is usually in the best interests of everybody, including my clients. I am glad that this one worked out to the satisfaction of my client.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
