This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knowledgeable, straightforward, kind

Mr. Dunn answered our many questions about how underage drinking could adversely affect our teens. He also addressed the legal consequences for parents who allow or encourage their children and other children to drink in their house or on their property. He was clear, concise, professional, and is ...obviously an expert in his field. His experience with these issues and his compassion for his clients was evident.

Passionate, knowledgeable, experienced

You'd hire the best heart surgeon, I'd count on Bob Dunn if I needed the best attorney. In a critical situation, his years of experience can make a major difference in the outcomes. Bob consulted with our parents group on issues with teen drinking, parents hosting, and the consequences. He opened ...our eyes about our responsibilities and how we can help our teens stay safe. He's a great speaker and his presentation made a real impact. All parents and teens should hear what he has to say and benefit from his knowledge. He shared his experience so that we wouldn't have to hire him if the future. That's a great attorney.

The gentleman of the courtroom

Bob Dunn has served as my legal counsel for over 20 years from everything from personal injury to a huge civil suit which was thrown mistakenly at me. He is a true gentleman of the courtroom, has a 100 percent effective rate, I have sent over 2 dozen clients through the past 20 years to him and he ha...s always treated them with respect, kindness and has been 100 percent satisfactory to me and everyone I have sent to him. You won't find anyone more knowledgeable in law or anyone as good at knowing the law then Robert Dunn. I use Bob for all of my needs including my business and I am 100 percent satisfied.

Compassionate and Professional

Mr. Dunn has served as counsel for my son for several cases. He shows expertise in the court room as well as in his client interviews. My son has had great success with the cases he handled in the Bergen Court. He also assisted me with a struggle over child support. All cases were successful an...d in the best interests of me and my son.

Ghost

Was quickly available to take my case AND my money of course, then barely any communication, to a point where he would not respond or call back for months. Didn't do a good job representing me. Absolutely not willing to respond to any follow-up questions/issues.
