It was nice working with you as well. I am a big believer that attorneys can zealously advocate on behalf of our clients, without losing professionalism, but this is one of those rare cases where we able to achieve that.
Rob was an excellent lawyer who was very personal in dealing with my issues and always responded to me quickly when I had questions. He also had very much human compassion for what I was going through at that time in my life. He is a really wonderful person to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needed this kind of service.
Rob Rogers and his entire team were FANTASTIC. I had a dispute over unpaid commissions and Rob was very experienced! He knew case law and had ideas that helped me recover my commission due, plus more! I am very pleased with this firm, and would HIGHLY recommend this team!


Finally, I wish to thank you for the exceptional service you have rendered our company. I was very impressed with the fine work that you have done and am very appreciative. I am very glad to get to know you and look forward to resolution on this case. As I mentioned, my (CFO) has told me that in his 50 years of working with attorneys he has never worked with a finer attorney than you. We certainly look forward to future work with you after this case is finalized.
Joe Dzida represented our company in an eminent domain case with the State of California. In the land taking for a high speed rail line, the State left us without enough land to operate our business into the future. Joe’s excellent representation on a contingency basis resulted in us acquiring the land next to our property and a payment from the State that was over 6 times greater than their original offer. We can now operate and grow our business the way it was planned when we purchased the property. A solid 5 stars and our highest recommendation for this company.
