I had an incredibly positive experience with RIGHT Divorce Lawyers during my divorce. Initially, it was an uncontested process, but things took a turn when the other party became aggressive. Despite the challenges, Maggie from the firm stood up for me, preventing the need to go to court and protecting my interests. Her extensive knowledge, experience, and unbiased guidance earned my complete trust and respect.Throughout the entire process, Maggie made sure I was involved and informed, making me feel like we were both actively fighting for the best outcome. She was highly responsive and remained on top of every detail. I cannot thank Maggie enough for her exceptional dedication.If you're seeking high-quality divorce professionals who will fight for you and work towards a win-win situation through negotiation, I wholeheartedly recommend putting your trust in this firm.

Rock was knowledgeable, professional and provided valuable guidance during our conversation. The experience surpassed my expectations. Highly recommend!

22:06 14 Jul 23

Truly one of the smoothest experiences with right lawyers. They were so nice and attentive, they explained everything to detail since day one or whenever I needed it so I was never blindsided with what they needed from my end. Also was very pleased with how fast they handled my case. I’m so grateful for how they handled everything! Definitely will be recommending them!

23:07 03 Jul 23

Had a phone call with Rock this morning and he really put a lot of my worries about my custody agreement to rest. He was professional and polite and gave wonderful advice. Would recommend to anyone who is unsure about what help they need.

Attorney Salvatore had assisted me with my child's guardianship case. Her and her team did a great job getting the paperwork done. They responded back if I had any questions. I really appreciate everything she and her team did for us. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

18:00 21 Feb 23

Rock Rocheleau was awesome help for me. Honest and upfront about a last minute legal situation of mine. I had a quick turnaround for response to the Court and i honestly assumed that I would be brushed off do to the time crunch. I was wrong. Rock responded back to me as scheduled and still assisted me best way he could. Thank you again

Thanks Right Lawers! It wasn't easy but you got the job done. I appreciate everything you did for me with helping me get divorced.

20:41 20 Jan 23

Do yourself a favor and contact Right Lawyers for a consultation! I had a 15 minute consultation with divorce Attorney Rock Rocheleau. He gave me exceptionally helpful direction & information I can use now to begin my case and move it forward. It’s extremely valuable direction. He was clear about my cost going forward if I hire him. He totally deserves the Best of Las Vegas Divorce Lawyers for the many years it’s been awarded to him!

18:51 09 Jan 23

Excellent divorce attorney that listened to me and helped me more than I had hoped. Highly recommend.

16:19 17 Dec 22

Rock did an amazing job as my divorce attorney. His prices are fair. He's very accessible. It was a pleasure working with him!

03:24 16 Dec 22

This is the best lawyer I’ve seen in town. I’v paid other lawyers $200 consultation fee just to ask a couple questions while this lawyer took his time and went over every question I had in very deep detail and did not charge me a dime unless we were to file any paperwork in court. I really recommend them before going to any lawyer in town. You will not be disappointed. He even offer to help me with further questions that may come up by email. They are just beyond the best. I will stick with them anytime I need a family lawyer. Thank you Rock Rocheleau very much for being patient and listening to all questions I had about my case.

02:24 06 Dec 22

They where great!! My process was quick and easy definitely recommend!!

02:15 10 Nov 22

They were able to help me with the divorce process - this was by far the easiest part of the divorce. The team was easy to communicate with, prompt with replies and the turnaround time was much faster than what I anticipated - thank you!

16:49 19 Oct 22

Divorce is without a doubt, one of the most tragic events in a person's life. There are no winners, only lots of hurt people and financial loss. The Courts are in control and not interested in honest deliberation only how quickly they can move to the next case. My experience with Right Divorce Lawyers is, they helped immensely by providing strategies and direction to get through the process. Rock Rocheleau was there with me when I needed him, even on off times. The cost of a divorce is never good or equitable, however, Right Lawyers kept the costs down and tried to settle sooner than later, with my interests in mind. I would recommend this firm, they do care!

Thomas Sclafani

07:22 18 Oct 22

Mr. Rocheleau is very professional, knowledgeable in his field, and maintains excellent communication.

20:08 30 Sep 22

Right Lawyers was referred to me when I was in need of a reputable divorce attorney. Rock Rocheleau was easy to work with and delivered above and beyond my expectations through out the process. Angelica's communication and prompt work was amazing as well! I will highly recommend Right Lawyers to anyone in need of a divorce attorney or firm who delivers great service and expected results!

Rock was recommended to me by a friend so I reached out to him and I'm so grateful for the recommendation! I wanted to get through my divorce as quickly as possible and his team helped make that happen. They were quick to respond to every email and question I had, they were helpful in sharing information and questions I had about what to ask for in my divorce, they made the entire process go as smoothly and as quickly as possible. I knew up front what the fees were and it felt like they had my best interest at heart. I would absolutely recommend the Right Divorce Lawyers to anyone looking for support through their divorce.

12:11 15 Sep 22

Fast service, helpful and informative, would definitely work with Rock again if needed for divorce attorney needs.

Rock is One of the best divorce attorneys that I've ever dealt with.He was very patient and understanding, he was in contact 24/7 even when he was on vacation. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

23:05 24 Aug 22

If you are looking for a good law firm for divorce/child custody, then this is the right place, had a free consultation and they answered all my questions and doubts thoroughly, very friendly and professional and made my case easy to understand. Great firm. Highly recommend.

12:32 10 Aug 22

I just went through a divorce after 15 years of marriage. The whole process seemed pretty stressful and frankly I was not mentally prepared to deal with it. After briefly talking with Meredith, and working with Danielle, the whole process became quite effortless. I highly recommend RIGHT Lawyers if you are suddenly faced with an unfortunate (or fortunate?) divorce.

William Gardner

22:34 20 Jul 22

Rock and Stacy helped me with my divorce/custody case and they made the right moves to secure victory in the early stages. Always responsible and punctual. Professional is an understatement for this firm.Thank you so much again.

Roberto Carlos Reyes

18:55 15 Jul 22

My experience with Right Lawyers has been positive. Meredith and Danielle handled my case. Throughout the process they have been helpful, diligent, efficient, responsive, and professional. They will listen to your concerns, explain your options, discus possible outcomes, and advise you. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone needing representation in family court.

07:28 12 Jul 22

These guys did a great job with helping me and keeping me informed. Very knowledgeable and will get you the answers you need when you need them. They will always return your call and email in a timely manner. Thank you for helping me.

22:43 20 Jun 22

Recently needed to find an attorney and I called up RIGHT Lawyers. I was fortunate enough to talk to Mr. Rocheleau about my situation and he was able to help me through it and file all the legal matters that pertained to my situation. Given how severe my case felt to me, Mr. Rocheleau and his paralegal, Angelica, were quick, responsive, and able to file all of the paperwork as quickly as possible. This was honestly the best experience I ever had with an attorney. I would highly recommend Mr. Rocheleau for anyone who goes through a divorce.

While my case did not go how we had both hoped, I still appreciate everything that Brittney did to help me fight for my children. I am autistic and part of the LGBT+ community, so it is important to me to have someone represent me that is a strong ally, concise, and thorough in communication. I never once felt like she didn't have my best interests at heart. She was empathetic. She explained everything she could as well as she could. This is the second time we had used her (first time did go our way). I would use her again in the future. Brittney is a great attorney.

17:13 06 Jun 22

Professional and courteous service and attention to details. They were always easy to reach and responsive and they keep their word.

05:18 02 Jun 22

The folks at RIGHT Lawyers handled by divorce so quickly, thoroughly, and inexpensively, it's hard to believe that it actually happened. The team, including Rock and Adriana, were extremely courteous, and followed through on every request and communication I had. And, for anyone who's gone through a divorce knows - waiting for a response from your attorney, while your losing sleep (and your mind) is painful in its own right. No pain here! Couldn't have been happier with this firm!!Steve M

Meredith and Danielle were great and helped me during a stressful time. Meredith was everything you expect. Assertive but respectful and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them, and I would return to them, should I need their assistance again. Thank you both !

20:07 16 Mar 22

My divorce went so smooth and flawless let alone it was completed so quickly. From the start they answered all my questions and responded back to my emails very quickly. If you are looking for the right and the best Divorce Lawyers I would definitely recommend Right Divorce Lawyers. Thank you for making this such a smooth life transition for me.

02:20 24 Feb 22

Meredith and her paralegal Danielle have been helping through my divorce. This case has taken many crazy turns, and both ladies have been there keeping track of every turn with excellence. I feel like I have communicated a ton of information, and they have been able to keep track of and document every detail. Fine job ladies!

21:30 09 Feb 22

Highly recommend if you need any legal advice or representation concerning child support!

00:36 03 Dec 21

I needed to speak with an attorney quickly. I left a message at 6:30 a.m., and Rock called back before 8:00 a.m. He gave me sound, professional advice, and offered further communication as needed. He didn't try to eat up billable time or gouge me either.

Patrick Kearney

21:05 09 Sep 21

I couldn’t be happier with this firm! Meredith was a life saver after a three year battle, she was attentive, responded quickly, communicated, and really listened to my needs. She was confident and in return eased any anxiety I had been having. I can’t believe I didn’t hire her from day one. I hope I never have to hire her again but if I do, there is no question that she would be my go to. Thank you Meredith and Right Lawyers for being there during the most difficult time in my life. I highly recommend

21:08 07 Sep 21

To sum it up, Brittney saved my whole world. She’s amazing and she never missed a beat. She has always been very honest with me about everything and never sugar coated anything. She worked so hard for my son and I, and I always felt that she was 100% in my corner. It was a long road, and while I was unsure what the outcome would be, I was confident in her and I knew she did absolutely everything she could for me. Amber was also amazing. Amber would take my calls and empathize with me when I was upset, worried or just needed to vent. In the end, we got the outcome that we needed, and I will always be forever grateful for all of their hard work. Though I’m glad this part of my journey is over, I’m honestly sad I won’t get to have such frequent contact with them anymore! They were there with me through the biggest fight of my life, and they’ll always feel like family to me.

23:59 03 Sep 21

Very professional and made sure that my personal case was tailored to my individual circumstance.

VICKIE HORODESKY

02:22 03 Aug 21

Highly recommended and a superior value for anyone who does not need hand-holding every step of the process. Danielle was extremely timely, attentive, and most importantly patient.

17:06 11 May 21

My experience with Andy was beyond words. He's very knowledgeable and a down to earth person. The process I had with him was smooth. He always kept me in the loop and consulted with what "the next moce" should be. He listened and was very responsive. If a similar situation arises again, I wouldn't hesitate taking on Andy as my counsel.

21:22 19 Apr 21

03:18 14 Feb 21

Brittney & Amber are so awesome thanks to these super awesome lady’s my life is back to normal. They always picked up my calls when I needed to communicate with them or seek professional advice they always reached out to me throughout the whole process was professional & neat at all times. Brittney revived a dead case! With the same judge that I appeared to prior with a complete different lawyer from another law firm which I ending up firing lost a lot of money. Brittney took the same evidence & my case with with less then 25 days to appear in front of the same judge Brittney changed the whole dynamic of the case without even breaking a sweat!Best legal advice I can give to anyone reading this post.1. You get what you pay for.2. Never lie to your lawyer be honest.3. Go with a attorney that is reputable & well respected by judges believe me judges lean on this because they know the Right Lawyers & there staff are not a joke. Trust me I fired my first attorney for malpractice & lost a lot of money from a complete different law firm.4. Understand if you don’t communicate effectively or ask they don’t tell I did a lot of research & homework asked questions to my attorneys in advance for what if kind of situation scenarios just incase. Just like Brittney told me we are a team you need to be as dedicated as I am. You as a client need to understand your attorney only knows as much as you give them the more evidence you provide with the narrative to correspond with that & accurate dates helps these ladies do there job.5. Brittney & Amber never were annoyed or stressed when I called & I called a lot for information seeking legal advice or to report they were very professional & always had a response.6. Best lawyer in town would use again & recommend to anyone who needs one.7. Brittney & Amber & Right Lawyers genuinely love what they do understand it’s a business but it’s rare when you find a business that actually cares about Integrity & is ethical!!!! The proof is in the pudding read their reviews!

She explained the process and went through the paperwork in detail to make it much more comforting. Would definitely recommend using this firm to make the transition easier.

Sonya and Rock would respond to my emails and calls right away at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE, even late in the evening after normal business hours. They had the patience, courteousness, and compassion to take care of my needs during such a difficult and emotional time in my life. I am grateful for their guidance and assistance throughout the divorce process, especially for settling my case within a few months. I would recommend Sonya and the Right lawyers any day!
