Robert S. Sunshine's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."

"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.
