CASE DISMISSED!!!

Attorney Rob took my case back in May of 2016, he was extremely professional and attentive. He listened to my side of the story after reading the police report and ASSURED me he would get the case thrown out. I was nervous because I was looking at felony charges. Every time I reached out to him via t...ext, email or call he got right back to me within a couple hours if not immediately. I write this review today after he got the case dismissed, 8 months later, not because of him, but because the court kept dragging their feet. He told them enough was enough and got it done. I would strongly recommend hiring him if you get yourself in a jam. Nantucket is such a small little community you need a local attorney who knows how things work there. Thanks again Attorney Rob
