“If you look up DYNAMO in the dictionary, you will find a picture of Roseanna DeMaria. She is one of the most dynamic motivators I have ever had the pleasure and opportunity to work with. She is one of those people who constantly strives to do more and makes sure that she either pushes you, pulls you or carries you to the finish line with her. You have to beware, however, because just when you get to the finish line, you will find that the line has moved because she is consistently on the lookout for newer, more innovative ways to conduct business and motivate employees. Roseanna has a unique way of tackling business issues and approaching solutions. You can't go wrong with someone like her on your team!”

“In my 25 years of law enforcement, 21 of which were with the NYPD, I have had the privilege of working with some of the finest and smartest prosecutors in City, State, and Federal Government. Roseanna DeMaria is by far the most devoted, hardest working, knowledgeable creative thinking prosecutor who is willing to meet challenges considered impossible by others. She is of unchallengeable integrity, the pinnacle of professionalism, integrity, intellect, and the phrase “can’t be done” is not existent in her vocabulary. The qualities she possessed as a prosecutor are the very qualities responsible for her success in the corporate world. You will not find a friend or foe willing to challenge her capabilities in the practice of law as a prosecutor, corporate attorney, and managerial abilities. Her mindset is to get the job done and she will get the job done beyond your highest expectations.”
—Joseph Cruz, Former NYPD Detective
