Testimonials

Couldn't Ask For Better Testimonial Dear Mr. Rooney, It is difficult to find the correct words to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for all the hard work and effort you gave my case. Thank you for your support and commitment. It made all the difference. You helped me through one of the toughest time of my life. You are a special person and I appreciate your kindness and professionalism. I enjoyed working with you because you are so down to earth and respectful of other peoples' feelings. You have a real gift in representing people and I would highly recommend you to everyone. I was impressed with everyone in your office. Your secretary and other workers were kind and made me feel that my case was important. I appreciated your calling me back even after your regular work day schedule was over just to keep me informed. You were on top of things and it was greatly appreciated. You took time out of your busy schedule to keep me up to date. You handled my case in an outstanding way and I could not have asked for any better. Because of your expertise, I was excluded from internet listing as a sexual offender on Megan's List. Now, thanks to you, I am able to put this agonizing part of my life behind me and get on with my life. Thank you so much for everything.

Moral & Legal Support Testimonial Dear Michael, [ ] and Staff, I would like to thank all of you for your moral and legal support. We appreciate all the time and effort you donated to helping my daughter and our family through this terrible ordeal. Thank you doesn't seem to say enough, your patience with my daughter's state of mind which took an extra mile. Please know we could not have had this outcome if it had not been for all your research in finding the right doctors to aid her defense. I know it will be a very long recovery process for my daughter, hopefully on day she will be able to forgive herself for the loss of her daughter. Thank you for giving her the opportunity to get the help she will need in the mental hospital. Thank you for all your patience in explaining the legal system to me and the extra shoulder to cry on. Please know that we feel your team gave 100% to give us a little light for the end of the tunnel. This has been an unexpected and tragic loss to our family. Dealing with the loss of our granddaughter, the fear of the loss of our daughter as we knew her and the unbelievable circumstance that surrounded the situation was and still is overwhelming. In these times there are not many people who would give their time and heart to help others financially. Your firm was there when we didn't know where to turn and where to begin. I believe that ... is with the angels and she guided us to you. Again thank you just isn't enough and I will never forget your kindness. To all of you, for all you have done, Thank you!

Mr. Rooney, I will be sending $150.00 more before my next payment which is going to be Thursday of every week. My pay roll gets issued at 5:00 p.m. each week. My goal is to have you paid in full within 2.5 months. Thank you for all you have done. I realize I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity I have without you. I will call next week to touch grounds with my case.

Mr. Rooney and [ ], Thank you so much for helping me. I will recommend you to anyone who asks me about an attorney. I feel like that was the best money I ever spent. By the way I enclosed the last $10.00 that I owe you. Again Thank you.
