About

WOW, Absolutely unfair that AVVO would rate me a 1 on a scale of 1 to 5.  2002 I got sick and was disciplined by the State Bar because I fell apart after getting sick. They simply see the last date in my State Bar Profile and assume all is bad.  But maybe some of you will take a moment to hear. . . . as the late Paul Harvey use to say.... the rest of the story....... Every client that hires me as their attorney knows my story.  In 2002 I was diagnosis with fybroids and endometriosis.  I was hospitalized several times and almost bled to death.  I couldn't keep up with my law practice.  I was devastated to learn that I could no longer have children.  It sunk me into a deep depression.  I hired people to take care of the office, and tried to help those clients find new attorneys.  One of the persons in my office did some bad things that I was too sick to supervise.  I trusted this person and I ended up taking responsibility for the things they did wrong.  Because I wasn't the one actually doing the bad acts, the State Bar offered me assistance through the Lawyers Assistance Program.  I recieved medical attention for my problems that went unaddressed even as a member of Kaiser Hospital.  The Agreement was that I would be suspended for 90 days if I completed their five year program.  I completed their five year program in 2007.  It was then I received the suspension.  So even though it was 9 years ago that my health failed me, it is still reported as though it happened in 2007.  So I ask you that review me here on AVVO, consider what my clients say about me.  I have about the worst rating that AVVO can give.  But that doesn't accurately reflect who I am as an attorney. As a bankruptcy attorney I think people should know that in 2002, I nearly lost everything I had.  I was physically, professionally, emotionally and spiritually bankrupty.  But it was through this long journey I recovered in every way possible.  Bankruptcy is about starting over and learning how to do it right.  I want to help by sharing my story with those of you who are suffering right now, and hopefully inspire you and give you the tools and skills to salvage what is left of your finances and help you rebuild for a much brighter and stronger future.  To that end, give me a call and decide for yourself.  I don't have any clients today that would rate me a 1 on a scale of 1 to 5.  I don't think you will either.I wish you all good luck on your life's journey and many blessings upon you each wherever life takes you!

I was looking through a lot of reviews for an attorney to help me with my Landlord issue. I found some heart felt reviews about how she helped others in my situation. So I think it is my responsibility to tell the world. She has changed my perception of lawyers: we need more attorneys like her in this country. Grace walked me through my legal options, was very friendly and easy to talk to. She was reasonable on price. Arlene is great and working with the rest of the team was a great experience. I highly recommend her and her team if your in need of attorney.

I have been in business for over 20 years. With a downturn in the economy we have been struggling and on the brink of disaster. We consulted with Ms. Rodriguez about a strategy to solve the business problems we had been having. Without revealing any of our business strategy or attorney client privileged information, she helped us formulate a plan that now after eight months is really working. The plan has exceeded our expectations and we are going great once again. I can't thank Attorney Rodriguez enough for her creativity, experience and patience as we struggled to learn new things and implement new processes. I would highly recommend Attorney Rodriguez for all your legal matters.

Highly recommend for any legal advice, but especially for bankruptcy cases. I have been battling with my bank for years to try to keep my home and have paid several lawyers only to make the situation upside down. My bankruptcy advisor (a retired lawyer) happened to find R. Grace Rodriguez, and in just a few days, she was able to turn things right side up again. I can't thank her ENOUGH for all the work she has done on my case. While I am still awaiting a confirmation from the judge, I am just so happy that she was able to not get the case dismissed, which is what all the other lawyers said it would come down to. The day of my hearing, she passed around flyers to for a workshop that she and others were organizing to keep lawyers informed about the bankruptcy process. She is not a selfish woman who wants to keep her knowledge to herself to profit off of it; she wants to share what she knows to those who want to learn. I will always keep her in mind for any further legal advise, and will adamantly recommend her to ANYONE who is thinking about filing for bankruptcy.

I was referred to Attorney Rodriguez to handle a commercial eviction matter. She really took her time to learn about my case and the background of my problems. She helped me respond to the lawsuit. She was always quick to respond to my inquiries and she kept me informed. She helped me work out a reasonable settlement of the case which helped me save my business. Of course this is something that the best attorneys out there would have accomplished for me. But what makes Attorney Rodriguez exceptional is that she helped me with ancillary issues involving my business to help make it stronger. She really cared about real solutions and strategic planning. Attorney Rodriguez is passionate about her work. I highly recommend Attorney Rodriguez!

I came to attorney Rodriguez convinced that I was going to lose my house because my family could not afford the payments. She sat down with my wife and I for three hours as she worked through our income and expenses. She prepared free of charge a full budget and she showed me that not only could I afford my house in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, but that I could really afford to take care of my family and save money. . Also with good luck, we now got a loan modification which has made it even easier for us to recover from this very bad economy. I am so grateful for what she has done for me and my family. She is a really understanding lawyer and I have recommended her to my family members and friends.

My company was being sued for $100K. Instead of trying to scare me into paying a lot of money to resolve the case, she charged very little and got me a very reasonable settlement. She was very honest with me. Even though I am over 50 miles away from her office, if I ever need help again I will use her.

I was very ashamed of my financial situation and had to file a bankruptcy. She not only got the job done for me, but she made me feel a lot better about my situation. She told me her difficulties in the past and what led to some problems for her. It was her understanding of her own problems that made me feel like I could tell her everything that was going on and not be ashamed.
