Ros-Planas, thank you so much for your assistance. I would not be in the position I am now if it was not for you. I am extremely pleased with every move and discussion we made throughout the negotiations. Everything seemed to fall into place the way we wanted it to. It is very comforting to know that my daughter will always be able to count on her father being an every day part of her life.

Ms. Ros-Planas is highly unprofessional with clients and opposing counsel alike. An absolute disgrace to the profession. To clarify, I was not a client of this attorney, but instead witnessed VERY unprofessional actions in another attorney's office where she was for a meeting.

She will make sure you are charged for an appointment even though she is late or does it over the phone. And will talk about her personal life to fill the hour plus more. She barely did anything for me, had to drop her and didn’t want to pay a dime to her but I had no choice. DO NOT USE HER!

I am a client of Rita Ros-Planas and was appalled to read a very negative and offensive review by a man named Gerard Michaels. It was easy to track him down on Facebook and there it was evident that he had been a client at the Firm for Men, which was my ex husband's law firm. We were there for a long stressful day of settlement negotiations. The staff was polite but my husband's lawyer, Ryan Thum was as nasty and rude as he could be throughout the day. I don't remember anyone else in the law office that day. I was with my lawyer in a small conference room and we met twice with the other side in

This attorney is the most unprofessional person I have ever met. Not only will she treat you like you are less than she is, she will make rude and unnecessary comments the entire time you are in her presence. I don't know how she is able to run a business considering the extreme lack of professionalism shown by her. I would give her 0 stars if google allowed that.

My experience as a client with Rita Ros-Planas has been nothing but profound and admirable. She displayed dedication and the utmost professionalism and tanasity in regards to my case. I highly recommend anyone that currently has legal issues to utilize her expertise and knowledge of the law. Her staff members compliment her work ethic and provided me with additional information and support when I had questions or concerns. Without a doubt, I know other lawyers would have taken advantage of my ignorance of state law, but Rita Ros-Planas was totally transparent with me from the very beginning which

This is the most disrespectful and lack of professionalism lawyer that anyone can encounter on the face of the earth. I would not recomend this lawyer to my worst enemy. To say that..... to none of the Spanish speaking community. She took my ex-wife for a ride and made her spend tons of money. For nothing. By presenting lies and false accusations. And the worst is that she will try to push her client after she has lost. To spend more money. With false promisses.In other words the only people she can impress with her horrible attitude is her clients. Ask around. What people think about her before
