"I have not had the pleasure of working with Bob. However, I have seen him in Supreme And Family Court many times and have spoken with him. I believe him to be an outstanding advocate who puts his client's best interest at the forefront . He is very knowledgeable in the area of Family/Matrimonial Law and if that weren't a large part of my practice, I would not hesitate to refer a client to him and would do so with full confidence that the client would get stellar representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Sunshine is a skilled adversary who is well versed in many areas of the law. He is an aggressive, attentive and zealous advocate for his clients and a skilled trial lawyer. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Sunshine not only in areas of family law, but in personal injury as well."
"Robert Sunshine is an attorney of integrity, knowledge and experience. His ability to evaluate a case and determine the proper course of action makes him a wise choice for clients finding themselves in need of assistance in a variety of legal situations, including divorce, family matters and general litigation. I have not hesitated recommending his services and would not hesitate to do so in the future."
"Robert Sunshine is a highly skilled trial lawyer and talented attorney. I have worked on a number of matters with him and always found him to be a skilled adversary. With an amazing memory for case law and civil procedure, he has developed a reputation in recent years as the lawyer other lawyers call to "pick his brain" on complex trial and evidentiary issues. He is respected by the bench and bar alike and is widely regarded as a skilled trial lawyer with a solid command of the law. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced and ethical attorney for any matter requiring intelligent and appropriately aggressive representation."
