Rocky was chosen by the court to represent my daughter Lauren when she was only 15, several years ago by her dad and his wife. I had met the wife briefly only a few times during an exchange so she did not know at all. This had been an ongoing attempt by her dad to alienate my daughter from me just like his own mother did to him and his sisters when they were young from their own father. The only accusation against me was I did not help my daughter with her Type 1 diabetes when in fact within a couple of years of her diagnosis I went back to college to become a Registered Nurse to better care for my daughter. My RN specialty is Diabetes and Hemodialysis which is the end result of patients non-compliance with taking care of their diabetes. Many sleepless nights of having to do 2am-3am blood glucose readings. My daughter’s Child psychologist asked me if she could contact her Pediatrician for a conference which I agreed to not knowing what it was about. The Child psychologist and Pediatrician called me into a meeting to advise me to get a restraining order against her dad because he was causing mental health issues which was directly affecting her health. As a college student single mother I had no way to afford court. I had been in counseling from the mental and emotional abuse from this man for 2 years but I was told I could not bring up the past. Her child psychologist told me I needed to protect because he is a Narcissistic Sociopath. That really blew my mind because as Dr. Phil says, ‘ a good indicator or future behavior is past behavior’. Since my daughter was 3-4 years old and would come home from visits, she would exhibit out-of-control behavior and her daycare or pre-school teachers would always say, she must have seen dad this weekend. He dragged us into court frivolously several times which I always won because I had done nothing wrong. Her dad would call my mother and attack me relentlessly. My dad and brother both had to intervene and tell the dad to stop calling and harassing my mom. The office manager where my mom worked for my dad then my brother intercepted his calls but he still managed to get through. During one court case the Judge had to ask for a chair to be brought in for my mother because she was obviously ill, which we found out later she had a heart attack.
After court my mom told me she overheard the dad’s wife tell him, ‘ I guess she will have to learn the hard way. Fast forward a few years and I was served papers at my dialysis job with a restraining order to not contact my child who was in Texas for a visit. After several months of back and forth to Houston for hearings my mother on Christmas Ever had a massive heart attack and passed away. My mom had told me that my girls gave her a reason to live which is another story.
I lost my job in January after my mom’s funeral and having no money left to fight I gave in. It has now been 7 years since I spoke to my daughter. She refuses to speak to me. We just buried my dad in May and she showed up and when I approached her to talk to her she told me DON’T. Wi to all the court ordered counseling meetings and court ordered parental alienation conferences my daughter never gave a reason for her Alienating me, just it had to be this way. I have missed high school dances, high school graduation, college and sorority functions. Her younger sister was so distraught losing her Nana and sister she attempted to take her own life. She now has 2 baby boys and her sister is not in her life. Thanks Rocky. Maybe study parental alienation and open your eyes to who the real person is alienating the other parent. All because I refused to take him back. I always told people he and I might not get along but he is good to Lauren. Look what that got me.

Some time ago Rocky helped me out writing an amazing contract for a business transaction. I recently called for a similar service and got rejected by the receptionist in less than 1 minute. Whoever picked up the phone had the power to decide whether my business was worth it or not. She made an express legal assessment of her own and said, " Sorry, we don't do that, we do family law "

Rocky is top notch. I don't practice family law, so I confidently refer clients who need those services to her. She knows the law, knows the judges, and knows how to treat people going through the misery of a divorce.

Ms. Pilgrim represented our children in a protracted and at times very toxic family case. She represented the needs of the kids with precise attention to detail, a compassionate heart when dealing with extended family members involved and impressed us even further at trial with her professionalism and ability to connect with the court as well as the jury. She protected the rights of the kids involved and her due diligence proved what was in their best interest and gave them the opportunity to live a safe and healthy life, in which they now thrive. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Rocky Pilgrim is an amazing attorney. My custody case involved a series of high conflict situations. From the start, Rocky understood the complex dynamics. She was consistently prepared and well researched.
I appreciate how Rocky included me in the process, was generous with her time, and patient while providing explanation. She was an encouragement during times of intense stress. Rocky always remained professional, but clearly cared, and was invested in helping my family.
From time to time we would disagree on an issue. Looking back though, I have to acknowledge that her advice was correct. She called it right…every single time. Rocky really knows the law. She is smart, insightful, and creative in the way that she problem solves.
Rocky has earned my trust, and my future business. She and her staff were a pleasure to work with. I have already referred her to several friends.

Does a lot of puffing but does not follow through. Was not at all aggressive in mediation. Acted as though she was intimidated by opposing lawyer in my divorce case. Was assuredly intimidated by judge.
Very aggressive towards me, at times yelling and telling me to empower myself. Allowed ex-husband to terrorize me after mediation with no action on her part.
I would not recommend Ms. Pilgrim under any circumstances.
