Outstanding Criminal Representation

Outstanding criminal defense lawyer. You’re fortunate if he represents you. Answers telephone calls. Fights overzealous district attorney prosecutions & explains in laymen terms entire process.

INEFFECTIVE AND NON-ZEALOUS, BORDERING ON UNETHICAL

Robert Christian "defended" me as a court-appointed lawyer in a wrongfully-brought complaint, arising out of road-rage, when I inadvertently parked in a neighbors parking space, cause I had to pee. He was totally ineffective across a wide spectrum of pre-trial and also trial-related issued. On th...e other hand, he is charming and personally quite affable. He is very reluctant to take on the courts when they are in error---understandably so---since he derives a lot of income from his court-appointed defense work. The damage done by his past ineffective and incompetent legal work is only now being corrected in the appeals-process.

Not Bad

He is really hard to get a hold of and does not have a receptionist. However, he is very punctual and will always be at appointments and court dates on time. The case never went to trial, but I would have been somewhat worried if it did, due to his blunted emotions and lack of excitement/zeal. He is ...soft spoken and kind, which made our interactions pleasant, but left me a bit worried about his ability to confidently defend me at trial. All in all, a really nice guy to work with, but if I were charged with a very serious crime, he would not be my first choice.
