Tried other Lawyers - Went back to Bob because I trust him

Bob handled my divorce and DUI case. Technically - Sharpest Lawyer I have personally known. Reputation - Every Lawyer, Judge knows and respects Bob - Very well connected. Personally - Straight forward and blunt - You always know where you stand with Bob as well as the case. Results: He just wins.... Having know Bob for over 10 years......He is almost impossible to get a hold of. But if you can get in touch and he takes your case.....You will know why he he so hard to get in touch with.......He works his ass for you. He kept me out of jail when 5 others stated I was doing 1-5 years for a DUI(s). When you really need Bob, He's there and shows up like a Bull Dog. During my divorce, he drove my ex to retain three lawyers to try to beat Bob....didn't work! I am indebted to Bob in a big way. ...He kept me out of jail and around to raise my kids.

A+++ Attorney

Mr. Del Col is an exceptional attorney. His knowledge of the legal system is exceptional. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. HIs professional approach from the first day put me at ease during a turbulent time in my life.

He is a Bull Dog!!!

I had a custody case which I was informed I would never be able to win. I was seeking custody of my deceaed boyfriends children. There were 4 other petitioners besides myself. He was the best lawyer I could have possibly had. I won custody, which was unprecedented.

Disappointed Client

My husband & I had split up and due to a mental issue he has, he was never able to retain his own lawyer. We eventually worked out all the details of our separation agreement together and only needed Robert to draw up the paperwork. It took him almost a year to get them together and once we finall...y got in to his office to sign everything, he was still missing some documents that were needed to be included with the stipulation. From the time I first met with him 2 years have gone by and it still isn't finished. 3 months after finally signing the stip, I found out today that he never filed it with the county! For 2 years any time I would call he never once called me back. I was going through the worst pain of my life and he was too busy with other cases to finish mine. He wasn't too busy to take my money though. And his secretary just doesn't want to hear anything and gets so rude and nasty and has even hung up on me saying "what do you want me to do, it's not my problem!" Whatever you do, if you need an attorney, find another one because this one is terrible!

Censured issued in NY, 2005
