Ms Rodriguez represented me in a very difficult and stressful case regarding the unlawful retention of my minor child in a foreign country. My wife, who was the offending party, was well funded and threw as much legal power as she could at me to defend her actions, both in the U.S. and in Brazil, which turns out to be a particularly difficult country to deal with in cases of child custody. Catherine also filed my grievance under the Hague Convention, and worked with the U.S. Dept. of State to put pressure on the Brazilian government to respond to my appeal. The case was successfully resolved, and I would recommend her without the slightest reservation. I can say that she worked tirelessly on behalf of myself and the welfare of my child, she studied every possible approach to the problem, and was relentless as a bulldog in trying to achieve justice, without resorting to the legal chicanery that was at times employed by the opposing attorneys. I owe her a great deal. I certainly don't wish this kind of a problem on anyone else, but if they have it, they should go to Catherine for help.

" Trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, understanding, results driven and kind. I am very grateful with Catherine Rodriguez, She is personable and you can tell her really cares about you, She works very diligently to get results. I really appreciate the fact that She treats you as a person and not like a "case" to handle. She goes the extra mile in order to help and she handles everything with utmost care and professionalism. I have a different point of view in regards to lawyers after meeting her.

Everything I read online prepared me for a long, grueling year (or more) spent fighting in family court. I wasnt sure I could wait that long. However, within thirty days of my first meeting Ms. Rodriguez, she was able to get my case heard by a judge, who agreed with Ms. Rodriguez's motion 100%. Within thirty days we had a result. Anyone hiring a family attorney is likely facing some kind of crisis. Ms. Rodriguez is exactly the attorney you want at your side. I could not recommend her more strongly. She is the attorney you need.

Ms. Rodriguez was very professional, with plenty of experience in her field. She took on a very difficult case that many lawyers avoided, not wanting to get involved, because it involved a party in another state. Ms. Rodriguez knew exactly how to approach my situation from the very beginning. She was successful in maintaining custody of my child, thanks to her efforts. I am truly grateful for her ability to save my famiky. I highly recommend her to others.

As a client, especially being through the judicial system's litigation process in the past, I knew the type of lawyer I was looking for. Mrs. Rodriguez was referred to me by another well respected trial lawyer who said that her determination to address the clients' needs and best position her clients to realistically prevail in the court was unmatched. Simply stated, when one isn’t well and needs medical attention, you seek the best medical provider. Similarly, when one needs the best legal help, one gets the best lawyer possible. Mrs. Rodriguez proved this analogy on multiple occasions. Mrs. Rodriguez determination to prosecute the matter in the court was razor blade sharp even during the most devastating defenses presented before her and she never once gave up the prosecutorial fight whether it was a defense that was presented or it was a Judge’s unreasonable tact. She fought our case as if our life depended on it. The special part about Mrs. Rodriguez’s style was the ability to understand her client, and then her ability to convey that position to a Judge in an understanding format to best position the case. Thanks to her very hard work and perseverance we were successful in winning our case. Mrs. Rodriguez was God sent and we are truly blessed to have her presence both as a professional and as a person that we were able to relate to. Anyone who is serious about being in the best position to win their case and truly looking for the optimum trial solution for their needs should do themselves a favor in advance and get the best of the best-Mrs. Rodriguez!!
