Mr.HYPE, But cannot support his client at the hearing

He hypes up his capability when it’s time to hire him. Then when it’s time for the hearing leaves the client stranded and provides no support. I believe these ratings are fake. I used this attorney twice and he did not efficiently present the case twice. Instead he put the mic towards me when it was... time for him to speak and defend. Gives good advice but You’ll be better off just hiring a consultant instead of paying a large premium to BOB

I do not know this "client" Clinton, but if he were to have reached out to me, and let me know his dissatisfaction, I would have been happy to discuss a way to come to a mutually acceptable resolution. Needless to say, I don't want an unhappy client.; even just one. I was pleased to see that he felt I gave him good advice, and he felt that I did well enough to use me a second time.

Someone Who Truly Cares and Provides Invaluable Business Guidance

I highly recommend Bob for his exceptional legal expertise and genuine care for his clients. Initially hired to assist with a liquor license, Bob went above and beyond by identifying potential pitfalls in a lease agreement, ultimately saving me significant money and stress. His guidance and advice ha...ve been invaluable as I set up my business, offering not just legal support but also strategic insights. Bob’s approach is like that of a caring parent—always looking out for your best interests and ensuring you’re on the right path. If you want a lawyer who truly has your back, Bob is the one.

Rock Solid Lawyer!

I had a problem with my liquor license, and Robert got the job done. Period When you hire a lawyer, you just want them to fix the problem , and that he did. Fast, efficiently, and was a great value for the dollar. He clearly explained the process and ramifications every step of the way an...d it was definitely a bonus that he was a real straightforward nice guy to deal with. I sincerely hope to never have to work with him again, because no one wants problems, but when they come up, you want the best person for the job and for my situation Robert was It. I would definitely work with him again and have referred him to several of my colleagues.

Great attorney and great adviser

I hired Mr.Robert to move the location of my store,first time it was denied by SLA,Then immediately the same day he filed the case after doing some changes to reconsider, WITHOUT CHARGING ANY EXTRA MONEY. And in the next date,we get approved.I and my family are so happy. He is the best attorney and ...consultant.I will only hire him if I need him in future.God bless him always

Honestly, a truely knowledgeable and great lawyer. A Gem.

Best lawyer experience I've ever encountered. He's a heaven sent. We only had 2 months to open our bar and we had a situation that required a SLA hearing. We've called around a lot and only Bob was confident and knowledgeable enough to truly understand our situation. Bob gave us a thorough free consu...lt and then got to work right away. He was a pleasure to work with. Always prompt, truthful, respectful, professional and fun! He's got connections that helped us speed up the long process and was able to answer our complicated questions. We were able to get our temp quickly. He made the hearing process painless and successful. He never left us hanging. Saw us through, right to the end. I can't say enough how very essential he was to our success. If you need a liquor license and want it done right and quickly, Bob's the guy to call. If you're worried about the fees of hiring a lawyer, stop, Bob is worth every penny. It's not worth the headache, lost revenue and lost reputation if you do it wrong or drag it out. Just wish he operated in other states to help our new locations.

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.
