"Throughout the entire process, [Rose] was a fantastic partner. She was responsive, a good communicator, empathetic, and efficient. That alone was worth five stars. But if I could give a sixth, it would be for going above and beyond: more than a year after the case was closed, she went out of her way to help me with a record issue with the court. I highly recommend."
