Joe was the best. From the moment I initially consulted him, he was understanding and was able to talk me through the entire process before I even committed to hiring him. Once we were under contract, I was able to get in touch with him easily through his online portal (awesome and easy way to keep track of all documents, meetings and hearings) and any phone calls I requested were generally returned within an hour or two. If I even need to consult in the future Mr. Rose will be my first choice. His years in public service allow him to understand some of the issues, without explanation and truly make him a top professional in this type of law. Outstanding representation all around.

I am an attorney and I referred a good client to Mr Rose for Employment Law issues. Joe took great care of him giving great service at a fair price. He protected my clients from an employee who was abusing the system. I trust his firm.
Response from the owner:Thanks Mark! I appreciate the confidence you have shown in me. I value and honor our professional relationship. And I'm glad the client was legally protected.

Joe is not just an exceptional attorney, but also an exceptional person. His knowledge of the law, as well as his integrity and strategy, is on point. The key element which makes Joe exceptional is his ability to explain complex legal concepts in a manner which is easy for his clients to understand. He’s kind, direct and compassionate. I was extremely anxious about a legal matter and he put me at ease by taking the time to explain the issue and then provide guidance and cover ‘what-ifs”. He’s extremely responsive and accessible which immensely decreased my anxiety in a stressful situation. It makes a huge difference to a client to know the attorney is not focused on the client billing, but on the client as a person. I have no reservations in recommending Joe for any legal matter he agrees to pursue. He has my highest respect for his legal knowledge, professionalism and character.

I won my case because of Mr. Joe rose. Hopefully I don’t need legal help again, but I would hire him again. He is very professional, he is understanding because and knows how to deal with his clients who are going through hard times. He has the perfect knowledge on how to deal with the boards of nurses, which is why I am so happy I hired him.

I wish I could rate Mr. Rose as at least a 10! He gave me an immediate phone response to an employment question I had regarding unemployment insurance...

Joe Rose and his co-councel, Michael Velarde, took the time to review my case and give me detailed insight. I highly recommend them both for personal, honest and thoughtful work.

Joe and his staff was were the best I could ask for in legal representation. They took the time to listen to the problem. They came up with a plan to make a solid legal platform that would get me back to work as quickly as possible. Given the circumstances they did the best job I could have asked for. I would recommend Joe and his team to anyone facing a difficult labor issues.

I am an electrical contractor with many employees. I have MULTIPLE situations I can relay in this review but it's too many to type out. To keep it simple: Rose law has been PHENOMENAL. They cover anything related to employee discussions, handbook details, contracts, labor law (reimbursements, milage, travel, minimum wage discussions for to contractors etc.), laws regarding contract obligations for homeowners or businesses, lien information, and SO MUCH more. If I have a question I can text or call and I have a response very quickly. They are so thorough and ensure that they put your business interests first. They are not out to chase money and ensure that they explain the financial pros and cons to each scenario. They make sure that you are aware of your costs if you decide to write a demand letter, receive a letter from the state, want to potentially file suit against someone, etc. etc. I cannot express my satisfaction enough. You will not regret deciding to move forward with this company!!!!
Response from the owner:Wow, Lucas—PHENOMENAL doesn't even begin to describe how much I appreciate this review! ⚡️ As an electrical contractor, you're no stranger to power—and I’m honored you’ve trusted Rose Law to help keep your business charged up and running smoothly. Helping business owners like you navigate the twists and turns of employment and contract law is exactly why I do what I do. Whether it’s handbook tweaks, wage questions, lien issues, or just bouncing around strategy, I’m glad you’ve found our support prompt, practical, and transparent. We always aim to be your business’s legal backbone—not just in emergencies, but for the day-to-day decisions that keep things running right. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience (and for somehow managing to summarize it all in one epic review—I know that wasn’t easy!). Here’s to keeping your projects grounded and your legal worries unplugged. ⚖️⚡ With appreciation, Joe Rose Rose Law APC

Great representation with a lot of knowledge and expertise in the EMS field. Joe explained everything in terms I understood and he knew how important resolving this matter was to me. He helped me to achieve the best possible outcome and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone in the EMS and/or Fire Department profession.

I can’t speak highly enough for Rose Law. Went through a difficult time with my police department. Joe and his team was there for me through the entire process. Joe was always very honest and upbeat throughout the entire process regardless if we were up or down. Joe‘s hard work and dedication toward my case I feel wholeheartedly contributed to the success in our victory overall. My family and I appreciate everything that Joe Rose and his team did for us in my case. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Joe Rose helped me win my case and did the absolute most to assure I got the settlement I deserved. He was empathetic and kind throughout the entire process and made me feel safe and understood.

The Rose Law firm is excellent, and a great resource for everyone including Public Safety Personell. I HIGHLY recommend Joe and his team. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you should ever find yourself needing representation, call Joe Rose Law first.
Cary B.
Called about a business issue that actually was a family law issue. They called the next day and put me in the right direction. Explained things that were invaluable for my situation, gave me tools, and helped clear the fog of the situation. I highly recommend this firm, and would absolutely use them in the future.
Response from the owner:Best wishes on the new tools for dealing with those legal challenges, Cary! And thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience with us.

When you need a lawyer it can be very overwhelming. I am very happy we choose Joe to represent us. He walked us through each step and kept us level headed. His experience and insight ultimately guided us to successfully resolving our legal issue. I highly recommend using Joe and his law firm.
Mrs. C.
Updated review: Mr. Rose reached out to me directly regarding an experience I had yesterday and was very cordial, concerned and informative. He listened to my story and referred me to where I could find an attorney that was more able to tackle my specific case. He was knowledgeable about specific characteristics that pertain to a case like mine and was very helpful despite not being able to pick up my case at this time. It really speaks volumes when a person or business can address a concern with tact and grace and rectify it. Thank you Mr. Rose.
Response from the owner:Dear XC, Thank you for sharing your experience. This feedback helps us improve our prospective client intake process. I’m sorry we initially missed the mark in meeting your expectations for a free evaluation of your legal problem. Unfortunately, our paralegals and office staff cannot provide callers with legal advice. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review your case and speak with you. I want you to know how complimented I am that you contacted us.
Janelle F.
Joe is kind, patient, and highly knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of this type of legal service.
