She tried to force her cult religion on me. Felt very uncomfortable. She also sang ain’t no mountain high enough by Marvin Gaye to me. She was kinda bad and out of tune. Other than that, good lawyer.

My husband and I hired Penni after already having gone through one immigration process alone. We then filed for his green card and later expedited citizenship with her. My husband was just sworn in as a U.S. citizen and we are so relieved! Throughout all three processes we found that everyone thought they were experts and wanted to give us advice. Even when we called the U.S. Consulate and USCIS different operators gave us different answers! Our first process without Penni was so frustrating when we thought it would take 5 months but took 13 and then were charged even more than the initial filing fee! Hiring Penni then for our other two processes really gave us peace of mind. She was very knowledgeable about our case and didn't give us unrealistic expectations as far as time or fees go. One time I even called her while my husband was being detained and she reassured me that he had nothing to worry about and that it was just possible that he had a very common name. Working with her was so reassuring because she really is an expert! She was very caring and we felt confident with her and what she told us to expect rather than wondering if we had done things correctly on our own and trying to sort through all of the advice given from others who thought they knew about immigration issues. By the way, we did consult with two other lawyers from different firms and Penni was by far the most realistic! We are so thankful to have hired Penni in the midst of our complicated immigration situation. Who would've known marrying a foreigner could be so difficult! But if he's the right person, it's all worth it! But get help from Penni and it will make things easier on you!

Penni helped us obtain a green card, then immediately apply and obtain US Citizenship through the Immigration 319(b) section. She knew exactly what documents we would need, and what we would be asked for at immigration. She responded quickly to our questions. We appreciate Penni's knowledge about obtaining a green card, and mainly about obtaining US Citizeship - something that would have taken several years longer with any lawyer who did not have experience with the 319(b). Thank you Penni!

When I found MLG Disability, PPLC, my disability application and appeal had been denied, a hearing was the next step and my money was running out. Needless to say I was facing a very dire situation that I had zero experience with. I was nervous, scared and chronically ill.
The team at MLG Disability jumped right in and were outstanding.
Daniel walked me through the entire process. His professionalism and knowledge of the process put me at ease. My appeal was just approved and I have Daniel and MLG to thank.
Call now! They are worth every penny!

I found Stephanie through a friend's referral. I would recommend her to anybody going through a divorce. She brought the knowledge, skill, and confidence I lacked to my case. She explained exactly what I could expect, answered all my questions and greatly decreased the stress of the legal process.

I was very fortunate to have found Hill Crabb law to handle my case. Stephanie was great at listening to what I had to say. She also made me feel very informed in the process and what to expect with how it all worked. She made me feel I was more than just another client. If I had to make a choice again on who to handle my case. I wouldn't change a thing. Stephanie and her team would be my choice.

Just wrapped up our Living Trust today with Guttman Law and associates and feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Matt asked all the pertinent questions and put together an exceptionally thorough Living Trust for my wife and myself with absolutely no ambiguities. We rest very comfortably now, knowing we've made this necessary "part of life" so much easier for our Trustee(s) to manage. We heartily recommend Matt Guttman for his guidance and unquestioned expertise, delivered in an easy-going and unrushed manner. You won't be disappointed. Trust me.

I referred a client to Andrew and she had an amazing experience. He took care of her right away and I have no hesitation in sending anyone in Minnesota or New York who needs an attorney. Andrew is so smart and so great at what he does! Ten out of ten highly recommend. And if you haven't already, also go watch his YouTube channel - so much great content !!

Rochlin Law Firm was amazing. After my accident I reached out to two law firm's about filing a case. After being turned down by both I reached out to Rochlin law Firm. From our first conversation Pam, demonstrated such compassion, care and support for the situation I was currently in and for what I endured in the months ahead of me. I knew Pam was in my corner and she had my back every step of the way leading up to the compensation I was awarded. She always kept me informed, and up to date in all aspects of my case. I’ve not only been privileged to acknowledge her as my lawyer, I am honored to call her a friend.

If you're reading this review, something unfortunate and unfair has taken place in your life or to someone you love. So, foremost, I wish you didn't need to be looking for a lawyer. And, if you've stumbled on this note, you're dearly close to experiencing a critical level of care related to your harmful injury via Pam's expertise, thoughtfulness, and advocacy. From September 2023 to January 2025, Pam Rochlin- and her incredible team- supported me in my process of recovery due to a dog bite attack. Nothing prepared me for the physical, emotional, social, and financial implications of my injuries. Thankfully, Pam and her team were present for every step of my experience with patience and understanding, plus a thoughtfulness and clarity to every communication. From a very difficult experience that has re-shaped my life, Pam's steadfast and brilliant work on behalf of my family and I is its own positive life changing impact.

I spoke to Page today, and she was SUPER helpful in the 23 minutes we talked. I felt like I learned the ins and outs about a process I am VERY unfamiliar with and it was easy to be honest about the situation and I felt like I was valued and seen for my needs. Regardless of the outcome or if my case needs more legal representation, I would 10/10 recommend her based off of this experience, and will also tell friends, if the need should arise, to work with her.

I hired this firm because they advertised themselves as one of the top legal practices in the area. However, the attorney assigned to my case, charging $420 per hour, made a significant error in the legal documents she prepared for my case, including an incorrect date. When I brought this to her attention, she responded by stating that I should have caught the mistake before signing the document.
I find this level of negligence unacceptable, particularly from a firm that claims to be among the best. When I confronted the attorney about the error and requested that it be corrected, she insisted it was not her responsibility to catch such mistakes and reiterated that I should have identified the error myself before signing.
As a result of this oversight, my case is now in a much worse position than when I initially sought the firm’s help. I am now pursuing a legal malpractice lawsuit against both the attorney and the firm, and I plan to file a formal complaint with the state bar in an effort to have her license suspended or revoked due to her actions in this family law matter.

When I brought this to her attention, she responded by stating that I should have caught the mistake before signing the document.
I find this level of negligence unacceptable, particularly from a firm that claims to be among the best. When I confronted the attorney about the error and requested that it be corrected, she insisted it was not her responsibility to catch such mistakes and reiterated that I should have identified the error myself before signing.
As a result of this oversight, my case is now in a much worse position than when I initially sought the firm’s help. I am now pursuing a legal malpractice lawsuit against both the attorney and the firm, and I plan to file a formal complaint with the state bar in an effort to have her license suspended or revoked due to her actions in this family law matter.
