Robert S. Bennett's Peer Endorsements

Bob is a knowledgeable, effective advocate who knows how to handle a case and protect the client's interests. I had the pleasure of working with him on a matter before the Board of Law Examiners and was very impressed with his command of the facts, the law, and the room. His relationships and experience are of great valule to his clients, and he presents a persuasive case.

Mr. Bennett is a true advocate who practices a higher level of ethics than the vast majority of his peers. I am sincerely thankful to have worked for Bennett for the past year as it has raised the bar for my ethical, procedural, and practical approach to representing clients. Thanks, Bob, for leading by example.

I testified for one of Bob's clients in an action to reinstate the client's law license. He was well-prepared, but I expect that. What impressed me was his sound mix of professionalism and care for the client. I'm glad not to have needed his services up to now, and hope that that continues- but he would be my first recommendation for someone in that situation.

I endorse this lawyer. Bob helped my co-counsel and me, who were working pro bono, during a retrial of a man wrongly convicted of capital murder. Bob successfully helped us get a former prosecutor recused from the case. His work was excellent and much appreciated. By the way, the defendant was ultimately exonerated and compensated by the State of Texas for his wrongful conviction.

Bob, work on a case for a lawyer who I'm close too. I was a witness for this attorney before the ethics board and i was very impressed with his preparation, knowledge of the subject matter and relationship and respect he enjoyed with the various board members. He got great results and saved my friends law license. Can't to better then that.

If an attorney is ever confronted with an issue with the State Bar, Bob is tops on my list of recommendations. He also gets the nod for white collar crime. Bob provides full service, up to and including an assist on the PR end, if the client so desires. I learned a great deal from Bob, and it has helped me become the practitioner I am today.

I endorse this lawyer's work. When a neighbor needed help with problems he was having with the licensing body of his profession -- problems which could negatively affect him for the rest of his professional life -- I immediately thought of Bob Bennett. I sent my neighbor to Bob and I have no doubts that he will get first-rate legal representation before the board from Bob and his firm.

I endorse this lawyer's work.

I endorse this lawyer's work. I have heard Mr. Bennett give presentations on ethics and professional responsibility to both the Katy Bar and the Fort Bend Bar Association. Mr. Bennett provides an excellent and informative program and he obviously knows his area backwards and forwards. He also has provided detailed handouts which have been good reading and invaluable in doing an ethics "check up" for my law practice. If I ever have an ethics complaint filed against me, Mr. Bennett is the lawyer I plan to call.

I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Bob for twenty years. He is a lawyer of strong convictions and resolve and a very able advocate in the pursuit of justice.

I endorse this lawyer's work. I have come to know Bob well and I believe I am well qualified to endorse his professional achievement and services to clients. Bob is skilled in many areas of the Law where he focuses his practice. I believe that Bob is an excellent lawyer and choice for any potential client who is considering representation where Bob focuses. Based on Bob's experience, skills, attentiveness and expertise, I believe clients will get excellent representation at a fair cost. respectfully, Ruben E.

I worked for Mr. Bennett in 2005 while I was still a law student and in 2006 after I was first licensed to practice law. In the two years I was at The Bennett Law Firm, Mr. Bennett successfully represented many doctors, lawyers, and judges before the Texas Medical Board, the Texas Bar, and the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Mr. Bennett taught me a lot about the law and about what it means to be a good lawyer. Aside from being an excellent mentor to me, I'm glad to call Mr. Bennett my friend.

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.

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 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 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

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 endorse this lawyer's work.

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 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 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.
