Posted by anonymous | November 11, 2025 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

0 personal integrity.

Just about the least reliable or trustworthy individual I have ever dealt with. I have never known someone who apparently feels no shame in not honoring their word until I regrettably trusted Rob to keep his. He turns on the charm and then, when it's too late to save yourself the heartache, shows you... his true character. And his character is simply low. Really, truly low.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
