Roop Law Firm has represented me for the past 4 years. My experience has been with several attorneys within the firm. They have been caring, flexible, extremely professional, and thorough. Each member of their team has taken the time to listen and provide feedback while guiding me through legal services that meet my needs in every situation. I strongly recommend their services without reservation.
