M. Ross and Associates just handled the legal work for the sale of my home and I was extremely pleased with their service. They were attentive to my needs as a client, they kept me very informed every step of the way and consistently provided feedback as needed in a timely manner. They were also detail oriented and VERY effective with negotiations. It is not always easy to find someone you can trust to do your legal work. I am happy to say that I found that here and will definitely entrust them with work in the future should the need arise.- T.D.

We did our closing with M. Ross & Associates. Michele made a potentially stressful event go as smoothly as I could have ever imagined. Everything was timely and we achieved our desired results. They are very knowledgeable as a team and kept us in the loop at all times which made us in control of the transaction. I highly recommend M. Ross & Associates for your legal needs.- Paul

Excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Quick to respond to issues and straight to point. Our story began with a difficult potential partner who was practicing dentistry at our office but who didn't share the offices values or integrity. The owner was hesitant to terminate business relationships with the individual fearing that the individuals retaliation might damage the business. This was until Michele sat down with us and gave us the confidence to end this toxic business relationship. She asked all the right questions to compile full context of the situation and helped us understand our legal rights as it pertained to the situation. Her encouragement and guidance helped us broker a deal with the individual that was painless and timely. We highly recommend M. Ross & Associates to help with your legal needs.- Main Street Dental
