When the Right Attorney wont let you Fall
As a Man going through Divorce, the world tells you to sit back and just take it. Robert wouldn't allow me to fall into what the world wanted, he took care of me and my family as if it was his own. I can not thank him enough for the fresh start that me and my children now have. Thank You Rob, and ...

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL
"Rob" is a snarky "know" it all. Zero morals. Only does whats right when it benefits him and his wallet. Even if that means representing criminals.

Good lawyer and a good guy
Rob was a good lawyer during my divorce. As most divorces are, it became ugly and he worked to keep my side civil and on task. He didn't fall into traps or get blinded by emotion. He stayed calm and on point, and helped me do the same. I would recommend him without question.

Complete Professional
Rob is a great guy and had my best interest at hand. He understood the emotional rollercoaster that I was in and advised me of all my options pros and cons. He was always available for a consultation when issues arise. I would definitely recommend Rob to anyone in need of his service
