Hired Attorney Patricia K Rocha

I hired Ms. Roacha to handle a health care matter. After spending thousands of dollars, her firm notified me that they had to withdraw as counsel. I asked why and they were very evasive. Luckily for me, Google exists, and I learned that Ms. Roacha was under investigation for criminal misconduct, including submitting fraudulent documents to the court. According to the dates of the charges against her, she was under investigation when she agreed to represent me, and she failed to tell me that she was facing disbarment. Very unprofessional, and downright dishonest. Adler, Pollack, and Sheehan cost me thousands of dollars, and they wouldn't return any of it.
