About Robert
Biography
Robert Dowd has been a commercial litigator for 41 years, concentrating his practice in commercial litigation, construction law and employment law. Bob has substantial trial experience, including numerous jury trials.
In 2011, Bob established The Law Office of Robert S. Dowd, Jr. LLC. Previously, he was a partner in the litigation, construction and employment departments of Cole Schotz, one of the largest law firms in New Jersey.
The Law Office of Robert S. Dowd, Jr. LLC is a litigation firm that concentrates on commercial litigation, construction law and employment law.
We are always prepared to try a case to verdict. Our substantial trial experience informs us, however, that litigation can be an inefficient and costly way of resolving a dispute, with an uncertain outcome. Accordingly, the firm is committed to prosecuting litigation in a strategic manner that will drive a favorable resolution through negotiation. If negotiations are not realistic or are unsuccessful, we will not hesitate to try the case.
