Robert S. Bennett

"I am writing to recommend Robert Bennett because I believe he is an exemplary attorney. Mr. Bennett is a highly motivated individual with a sincere desire to serve and a fierce concern for and about the public interest. The vigor and clarity of his thoughts and the expression in the projects he undertakes continue to impress me. More importantly perhaps, he has also demonstrated his capacity for the kind of sustained and disciplined effort necessary for the advancement of law. An important balance to his intellectual abilities is his sincere interest in and respect for others. He has demonstrated cultural sensitivity, engaging interpersonal skills, great personal integrity, and a high level of energy and seemingly effortless productivity. I beleive these traits, coupled with his intellectual talents, are Mr. ennett's strongest attributes."

"Mr. Bennett has contacted me on occasion to serve as an expert consultant and has always indicated respect for my role as an independent expert. In my dealings with him on this basis, he has reflected seemingly endless creativity (though staunch honesty) and energy in advancing his client's position. He soaks up new ideas and information like a sponge. While, in military terms, he would be my pick for a foxhole companion, to hold the enemy at bay, I think it would be difficult to keep him from the front line."

"I endorse this lawyer's work ethic and professionalism. I have known Robert Bennett for 33 years, first as an attorney in Chicago and later when he opened his practice in Houston. He is an exemplary attorney with unparalleled experience in both commercial litigation and professional ethics representations. Bob has written extensively in numerous legal publications and is regarded as a highly competent litigator whose integrity and professionalism is beyond reproach. I have no hesitation to refer my clients to him."

"I have known Bob since law school when I started TTLA's student chapter at UHLC. Within my first year of practice, Bob hired me as the attorney of record in a hotly-contested litigation matter. After a two-week trial, a jury returned a verdict in our favor. Preparing for and during the trial, I learned so much from Bob, including how to gather and organize necessary evidence, jury charges, witness questions, cross-examination, and various pre-trial and in-trial motions. The experience helped me leap-frog above my peers who had no such hands-on experience for years into their practice. Bob's primary practice is malpractice defense. Bob is known not only for his successful defenses, but also for his invaluable volunteer efforts in teaching fellow attorneys about the grievance process and how to steer clear of trouble. It is only fitting that Bob teach such ethics because Bob's integrity cannot be questioned. I highly recommend Bob's counsel."

"I endorse this lawyer's work."

"Bob presented a CLE paper on Ethics and Professional Responsibity to the Smith County Bar Association. His presentation was extremely thorough, well-researched, and in a word, excellent. Bob was entertainig and even included a State Bar report that had been published less than 48 hours previously. He is one of the best speakers I have seen in the area of ethics and professional responsibility."

" I had the pleasure and extreme honor of meeting and working with Bob Bennett in his representation of a recent law shcool graduate at a hearing before the Texas Board of Law Examiners in Austin. I attended the hearing to lend my personal support to this recent and deserving young law school graduate. Although this was the first time I had met Mr. Bennett in person, I have, in the past, attended several superb CLE presentations at which he spoke about ethics and legal professional responsibility. His excellent reputation in these areas, however as well as being considered as one of the finest criminal lawyers in the community preceeeded our Ausin meeting by many years. I was extremely impressed with Mr. Bennett's handling of the hearing before the Board of Law Examiners.It was his presentation of the case that won the day. He is a fine advocate and more importantely a fine person. I recommend him without qualification and I am proud to have him as a friend and collague. Kay morgan"

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I appreciated Bob's comprehensive and substantive attention to details involving facts and applicable law. I also appreciated his attention to the timelines and deadlines involved in the matter. I would not hesitate to recommend Bob to other potential clients and attorneys."

"I endorse this lawyer's work without any reservation whatsoever. I rate him as superb, with an AVVO rating of 9.8!! Bob hs been a model of professionalism ever since I have seen his work. He has lectured at bar associations with such enthusiasm that it is evident he loves the profession he adopted. I have known Bob since around 1978 when I served as an AUSA in the Southern District of Texas. I am amazed at the zeal with which he attacks any case or project he is working on. I am particularly proud of the efforts Bob untertakes in sharing with attorneys about the grievance process and about simple things that a lawyer can do to avoid a grievance. I have had an opportunity to consult with Bob on another serioous project involving unethical prosecutors. I wish him the best. For these and many other reasons, I highly recommend Bob to anyone in the grievance and in the consumer/business litigation fields."

"I endorse Mr. Bennett's legal representation. My firm is a volume plaintiffs' personal injury practice and we keep Mr. Bennett on retainer; we consult with him on issues that arise regarding ethics and conflict resolution. Moreover, Mr. Bennett is a straight shooter and definitely "tells it like it is." He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I have grown to trust his opinion and value his legal counsel over the years."
