During my consultation Attorney Roper was very upfront about potential legal costs and outcomes of the case. For what i believe was a very fair price he was able to help navigate my case and was able to successfully reach a agreement with opposing council. He is very honest, knowledgeable and i would absolutely rehire him in the future

Met with Mr. Roper he was very nice but told me he'd charge $1800 for one court appearance that ended up being 45 minutes and then proceeded to tell me I'd lose if my ex showed up. This included $900 for travel time which was only 39 minutes each way from his office. I passed on his generous offer and got it dismissed in court without even having to testify. Glad I listened to my instincts.
