Rosen Law Offices

John Roach represented me when I had to fight with an insurance company to get paid for an injury I received when I slipped at a hotel. I broke my left leg day 1 of our vacation. With 5 kids including a newborn, pandemic and summer time, it really disrupted my life. John got me way more money than I thought, and he made the process easy for me. He was easy to communicate with, and always treated me with respect and seemed to really care about what I had been through. I am so grateful someone recommended him. I was able to purchase a much needed new car for my family with my settlement! Thank you so much!
