Best decision l've made was hiring Paul as my lawyer. He was very professional and straight to the point from the very beginning and talked to me through everything. Answered every question I had he would answer. Such a great lawyer and very understanding with payment plans. 10 out of 10 would recommend hiring Paul again if I have any legal troubles in the future.

Paul Balisteri took my case and was quick and diligent in his efforts. He kept me well informed through the whole process. I felt I had a lawyer that truly cared about my well being as he made every effort to help. He also told me he would do everything in his power to get it wrapped up before I left on vacation and he was a man of his word. He never once made a guarantee to me, but did inform me that case would most likely dismissed. Which it was. I would highly recommend Paul or anyone at Rose legal services to handle their case.
