If you are a woman, RUN don’t walk from this lawyer.

This guy is terrible. I don’t know what these other reviews are saying. Perhaps they are fake. Or it might be because they are from a long time ago. He has cancelled numerous meetings I had with him minutes before the meeting. Which is completely unprofessional. He was essentially unreachable. Numero...us times I would contact him and not hear back from him or anyone part of his office for 3-4 weeks. In fact one time I thought he had a terrible accident because I had a meeting set and he just didn’t show up, didn’t respond to any of my emails/ calls for weeks. Only to find out he wen on vacation and didn’t cancel any of his meetings. He also claimed and made numerous promises during my my consultation with him, that he would investigate and find all this money my ex husband was hiding from me, only for him to reneg and say there’s nothing he could do. I highly, highly suggest you look for a different lawyer especially if you are a woman. I think he thinks he can treat me this way because I am a woman and would accept this behavior from him.

Results with no drama

Robert helped me through the divorce process with my children as the priority exactly how I had asked, and delivered good results.

Professional, Helpful, Supportive

Thanks to Attorney Setterbo, I was able to go through my divorce proceedings and win the case to register foreign decree successfully. I'm very satisfied with the results and grateful for his team. I appreciate not only Attorney Setterbo's professionality but also his integrity and honesty with his c...lients. I highly recommend Attorney Setterbo.

Professional and expedient

I required a very specific type of service in order to get married abroad. I had called around to several different firms to get advice on this service required, and was sent around in circles between family lawyers and immigration lawyers. During a quick 10 minute call, Robert Setterbo recognized th...e dilemma and made a plan. His law firm's service was extremely expedient in addressing the service required and has been professional and courteous throughout the whole process. I really appreciate the assistance provided.
