OVERVIEW OF MY PRACTICE

Immigration and family law issues often go hand-in-hand. From my office in Pembroke Pines, Florida, I work with clients throughout South Florida with issues relating to divorce or child custody, and throughout the United States with issues relating to deportation, or change of status, among many others. Whether the issues relate to you or your loved ones, I will work with you to meet your legal needs and accomplish your legal goals.

At my law firm, The Law Office of Joy E. Rothenberger, LLC, you will receive attention from a lawyer who is interested in the outcome of your case and won't waste your money or time. I believe in upfront honesty when discussing legal issues and options with potential clients; so I offer an initial 30 minute consultation to everyone.
