An Attorney Who Really Cares About Working People

Patty Rose represents me in an ongoing employment case that involves wrongful termination as a result of whistle-blowing and workplace harassment. I sought her out initially simply because she had done such a great job representing my wife during an employment dispute several years ago. Patty... is very knowledgeable about the law and takes the time to explain things in a manner that anyone can grasp and understand, which is an important aspect for people who are undergoing the stress and hardship that labor & employment problems can bring. Most impressively, Patty goes beyond mere attorney/client representation, as she is very much an inspired and dedicated advocate for all issues relating to employment and labor laws, particularly those that effect working people of all classes. (Think of her as your David who is willing to stand up to the Goliath that is the employer who has treated you badly). She has my highest recommendation and you will be in very good hands with her as your attorney.

Employment law is a very fact-specific area with lots of options; I always try to make the various options seem less complex and happy I succeeded here. 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).

  • 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.
