About Robert
Biography
I am solo practitioner with offices in downtown Brooklyn, New York. The main areas of practice are criminal defense, matrimonial law and family law. I have been a member of the Bar in New York since 1992. I am also admitted to practice in the United States District Courts, Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. My first job out of law school was as an Assistant District Attorney in the Brooklyn D.A.'s Office. After four years there, I went into private practice.
I am committed to providing outstanding legal services to my clientele. My clients get the personal attention that they so deserve. Phone calls and emails are always returned promptly and I make all of the court appearances myself.

Robert Steven Gershon's Lawyer Endorsements
"If you have been arrested in any of the five boroughs of New York City, and are looking for a top notch criminal defense lawyer, I recommend Rob Gershon."
"I have known Robert Gershon professionally since 2007. I have referred many family law clients to his practice. He is a knowledgable, thoughtful, and intelligent. He is well regarded in the legal community. He has held prestigious leadership roles including President of the Kings County Criminal Bar. He is a great lawyer. I endorse him without hesitation"
"I endorse my colleague and my adversary Rob Gershon very, very highly. He is the epitome of modern lawyering. He has all the important credentials the system can bestow which few of the rest of us can get. For example, he is at the top of Avvo having a '10' rating with three endorsements, three client reviews and twenty six (26) answered questions. His aura is galactic and visible from a distance. His experience is as varied as his wardrobe. He prosecuted and he defended! As a family lawyer, his legal strategy is nothing less than bright: a bright idea from a lawyer in a bright suit. When retaining counsel, remember that a great attorney knows the law but an even better lawyer knows the judge. Rob's credentials speak of the greatest recognition in the industry and don't take your chances with a lesser lawyer. Retain Rob now."
"Rob is an excellent attorney who is well-respected by judges and other attorneys. He always advocates strongly on behalf of his client. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Robert Gershon for over 20 years. He is an outstanding attorney. He is caring and professional in every way. A client would be very well served to work with Robert."
