I worked with Josefa Rodriguez on a complex family law matter, and while her knowledge of Arizona family law was evident, the experience left me with mixed feelings. She clearly understood the nuances of family law, as noted by her recognition by Best Lawyers, and she provided sound legal advice for my case. However, communication was inconsistent—sometimes responsive, other times slow, which created unnecessary delays. The firm’s administrative process also felt disjointed, and I often waited longer than expected for updates. Josefa’s expertise was evident, especially when it came to negotiating child custody arrangements, but the overall experience didn’t fully meet my expectations. For someone who values thoroughness and efficiency, I’d suggest setting clear expectations upfront.
