"Bob is second to none in the field of criminal defense. His experience as a Special DWI Prosecutor and a seasoned District Attorney has given him the experience and wealth of knowledge clients can only dream for. However, what sets him apart from the rest is his drive. I have never met an attorney who fights as hard for his client's rights as he does. If there is a will, with Robert Schalk, there is a way. I strive to achieve the level of success and customer service that Bob has achieved, and it is truly an honor and a blessing to be able to work for a lawyer with his work ethic and moral character. If you want the best, just call Bob and you can expect nothing less."

"I strongly endorse Robert Schalk. I met Robert when I was a public defender at The Legal Aid Society of Nassau County and he was then working as an ADA. He was well respected by the defense bar, his colleagues and judges alike. Since that time, he has transitioned brilliantly into private practice, and he has become one of the leading criminal defense attorneys in the area. I highly recommend him."

A regular legal analyst for the Fox News channel and former Assistant District Attorney, Bob has had experience on both sides of the aisle, as a Prosecutor and now as a Defense attorney, which inures to the benefit of his clients. I know that when I recommend my clients, friends or family to Bob, that they are in great hands."

"Bob Schalk is the epitome of what one hopes to find in a defense attorney. He makes certain that he is accessible to his clients literally 24 hours a day, he is driven to get the best outcome legally possible for each and every client, and he is very personable and easy to work with. For something as small as a traffic ticket to a major felony charge, he treats every client with the same level of urgency and importance. Not only that, but the respect he gives and is shown in court by judges, fellow attorneys, and his clients speaks for itself."
