About Robert
Biography
For over 50 years, as I represented clients,I always remembered that my job was to get the results the client wanted. I concentrated in representing clients in a wide variety of litigation matters, mostly in major, sophisticated and complex cases. I always tried to avoid litigation if that is possible. It is nearly always better for my clients to resolve a dispute before it gets to court. I would negotiate or mediate a dispute when that made sense. If not, I considered arbitration or litigation. In every case, I analyzed the issues to determine the best strategy and tactics to get the best results possible. Then I implemented that strategy.
I practiced in a multitude of state and federal trial and appellate courts, and also regulatory agencies. Based on that experience, I now concentrate my practice on acting as an expert witness and consultant in legal malpractice matters, as well as acting as a neutral or representative in arbitrations and mediations. As a mediator or arbitral neutral, I always remember that my job is to achieve a solution to the dispute that is fair and reasonable to the parties, avoiding the time and expense of protracted litigation in the courts.
