Dedicated, Knowledgeable Attorney

I contacted Mr. Kobert for a legal matter most attorneys wont risk taking. He was very knowledgeable and understanding to the situation, listening to my story and every detail. I never felt rushed. Although he wasnt able to personally handle my case he was very dedicated and determined to help find a...n attorney that can handle my case and was reliable. He did as he promised, found me an attorney and even spoke with him to inform him of my situation. He was very helpful and understanding and never made me feel as if he didnt have time. I highly recommend him for his time, dedication, and love for his profession.

Excellent experience

As a litigator, Roger is great because he has the ability to quickly grasp complex issues and find the best way to argue his client's position. I really felt comfortable with him on my side, confident that we would prevale. And we did.

Very honorable lawyer

Roger guided us through a case against my father, who was in his 90's at the time, with the EPA. He was quite helpful and fair and we are very grateful for all he did.

Gem among sharks

It is my pleasure to recommend Roger Kobert to anyone who is looking for a lawyer for representation. I am a Canadian citizen who had an unfortunate business dilemma in the Florida area. From the first minute speaking on the telephone, he was very friendly, personable, professional and most important...ly, compassionate towards my case. He is very generous and attentive with his time to listen to all the history and details in order to understand the merits of the case. Over the time of our relationship, he responded to me in a timely fashion, never rushed me through our conversations and even when on vacation in Europe, managed to find the time to respond to my messages. This is the type of lawyer that the market needs and I know anybody would be fortunate to have him represent them. His most admirable trait was that he finds a balance with being your friend and your lawyer. There are so many lawyers to choose from out there but it is very difficult to find one who practices law for true justice instead of being motivated by financial gain. Roger Kobert has the integrity and heart a lawyer needs to have when dealing with sensitive issues and I realize looking back that I got lucky to find him among all the sharks in the ocean. In my humble opinion, he embodies the essence of why a person should become a lawyer to practice law.
