This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional and Knowledgeable

Bob Stahl and his firm represented my father in a very serious federal criminal defense matter. From the start, he exhibited professionalism and care, always going out of his way to ensure an aggressive defense utilizing creative methods and researching every detail guaranteeing the best results poss...ible. Bob has always been exceptionally responsive to my calls, educating me on each specific part of the case to help me make informed decisions with a compassionate ear, always mindful of the sensitive and sometimes hurtful topic at hand. Bob’s reputation in the judicial community is that of a talented and multi-faceted attorney. He is well respected and liked by judges, adversaries and court employees. Bob is always thoroughly prepared, whether it be for a conference call, court appearance or trial, his hard work and the time he puts into each aspect of the matter is evidenced by his results.

Exceptional Attorney

Since our initial meeting, I knew I had come to the right attorney. Mr. Robert Stahl’s expertise, professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. Not only that but he was also genuinely concerned about my well being and that of my family. Always very accessible and a phone call away. T...hanks to Mr. Stahl’s knowledge and experience, I received a favorable outcome to my complex case. My family and I are extremely grateful and would highly recommend Mr. Stahl.

Top notch council

After being run around by two different Highline attorneys I found Bob Stahl through a mutual friend over 20 years ago not only did he save my life he has saved and helped over 50 people that I have sent to him over the past 20 years with no complaints and only praise. Financially he treated all of t...hem fair and was very compassionate and well respected in the legal community. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone who is serious about their legal representation.

Life changing results

Before hiring Mr. Stahl, I had a different attorney. My original lawyer told me I was looking at a minimum of 2 years in prison. I wasn't satisfied, so I hired Mr. Stahl. With him, I got a year of house arrest. He literally saved my life. Truly, there are no words for what he did for me. He went out... of his way for me and always took my calls. I highly recommend him!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. I met Robert (Bob) Stahl about fifteen (15) years ago and was thoroughly impressed by his courtroom skills. In 2004, a long-time client of my law firm was arrested on federal drug trafficking charges and as a result his prior criminal record, the client was looking at many years behind bars. Due to Bob's vast experience in the federal criminal courts, I later asked him to join me in defending the client. As a result of Bob's continued efforts, the client eventually received a light sentence and to this very date, the client credits Bob with saving his life. Since that time, I have been blessed to work with Bob in a number of cases together and in a nutshell, he is a wonderful, experienced attorney."

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.
