GREAT LAWYERS. HAPPY CLIENTS.

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.

Joe is both a very professional yet very personable attorney. Although he has so many clients, he treats each one as if they are the only client he serves. His response time is amazing and it is evident that he truly cares for you and your business.

Where to even begin... I sent in a questionnaire for Joe and received a response the same day. He reviewed my case and took time to look at all the documents I provided him even though it was an over the phone consultation I got all my questions answered. It was regarding an employment matter and he took the time to review my company’s MOU and guided me through the process. He was patient and answered all my questions. Hopefully we won’t have to get to the point where I would have to retain Joe but I am VERY confident in him if it would get to that point. THANK YOU!

I hired Joe Rose because I realized, after working with a company for a year, that they were not paying me or anyone I worked with overtime. They were taking advantage of the fact that most of their employees were a little younger, and that we didn't really know the labor laws of California. I attempted to get this situation resolved by myself with Labor Comissions, but they pretty much laughed in my face because I didn't have "sufficient evidence". This is when I decided to hire an attorney with another coworker, and I am extremely grateful I had made that decision. We were up against one of the largest real estate investing companies in all of Sacramento, so I knew it wasn't going to be easy. Luckily, Joe took us in, consulted our situation, recommended we get as many other employees as we could involved, then went to work to get what was rightfully ours. Joe was very attentive, and kept us updated almost daily as to the standing and progression of our case. Joe was extremely confident that we had a good case, and continued to work away through every objection that was thrown at us. The people we were up against, being very affluent in the Sacramento area, had hired and fired a couple different lawyers, who kept coming up with different defenses that were completely absurd. Finally, because they knew we were going to win the case because of how strong it was, the defense decided to settle, and me along with all of my coworkers at the time were compensated for the amount of work that we had put in, and more for the fraud and lies that we had to prove before we got there. I would highly recommend Joe Rose if anyone is looking for a lawyer who will be attentive, considerate, and completely honest throughout your case. He was clearly in it for the passion of his work, not just to get money out of people. Again, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thanks Joe for all of your help!!

Mr. Rose was recommended to me by a dear friend who unfortunately had to use him for an employment dispute -- he said I would not be disappointed, and I was not! Mr. Rose took on a large hospital company for me for wrongful termination without hesitation! He dealt with their nonsense shenanigans head-on and kept me up-to-date all along the way. Mr. Rose was kind enough to explain any legal 'talk' I didn't understand and even laughed at my corny jokes :-p In the end, we had a successful resolution to my case!! I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Rose to anyone looking for professional, no nonsense, experienced but friendly legal representation.Erin

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.

Mr. Rose was very professional and resolved my case as quickly as possible. He represented me to the board and we had a good outcome. There was no revocation, suspension, restriction, or years of probation on my RN license! God forbid I run across any more problems in the future but, if I do I would definitely hire Rose Law again. I would recommend Rose Law to anyone who needed a lawyer to fight the BRN.

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.

You guys !! Want Mr.Rose to represent your case !! Not only did he walk me through it step by step, but reinsured me that I would not lose my license due to just allegations. As a only provider for my family of 4 this was very stressful for myself and my family. Please take my advice and obtain Rose law services. He will do everything in his power to help and reduce the stress on your life. Thank you once again Rose Law !!!

I had an incident at work that I didn't feel comfortable with and I needed some advice another lawyer friend of mine suggested Rose law. Not only was I put in contact with the attorney right away but he had researched and found the answer to my problem within a couple of days. I don't expect all attorneys work on the weekend but this one got me my answer on a Sunday. I took the findings to work and it resolved the problem without any further incident. I've dealt with attorneys before his fees were very reasonable I hope to never need an attorney again for work but if I do I will give Rose law a call

I met with Joe re a minor incident that easily could've been brushed aside. There was not a lot of time or money involved. Communication with Joe was immediate. He was on top of my case from start to finish. Probably one year and a half later I needed to contact Joe re the case. I emailed him and within one day he replied- on the weekend!Bottom line Joe is a lawyer that is available, he's hands on and no case is unimportant. He is not a typical lawyer.

I have to preface by saying I don't have that most experience with attorney interaction but from my limited dealings with attorneys I've concluded... Joe is the diamond in the rough! I met with Joe on a legal matter he was very candid about my situation which i very much appreciated, asked a lot of questions and is just generally a very personable guy. I haven't decided my next steps yet but if you're looking for an attorney who will actually listen to you and walk you through all your questions he's got my vote!

Anyone looking to hiring an Attorney should definitely contact Joe Rose (from day 1 that I contacted Joe he got on the telephone and helped me with my case). He is super proactive and goes to battle for you even if it means working over the weekends or holidays. Our opposition party tried to surprise us by sneaking a petition a day before Thanksgiving and Joe was on it to file the objection the same day. We owe it to Joe for our victory.

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.
