Seasoned commercial real estate attorney

I worked with Robert on a complicated commercial real estate financing transaction. Throughout the transaction, Robert kept me informed and painstakingly reviewed the lender's requirements with me. Robert was able to generate a creative solution to one of the lender's requirements which eliminated ...a few thousand dollars from the cost of the transaction.

Not only a terrific lawyer, but a great person

Robert is a consiencious, responsible, detail-oriented lawyer. He knows the law, but more importantly, listens to his clients concerns and develops the best plan for them. I've trusted Robert with real estate transactions, business set-up questions, and navigating my rights as a small business owner.... He did what he said he would do - developed options for me to review, provided feedback and insight when needed, and put together the right legal materials needed to move my transactions ahead. Great work all around and someone I recommend!

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.
