The absolute BEST

My husband and I reached out to Rob when we were at our absolute lowest point. We were 7 months in to losing our son in a battle with CPS. We thought we would never get threw what was our absolute worst nightmare. We come from great families and our son is our entire world. We tried everything with f...amily court, CPS, and different attorneys and alls we did was spin our wheels and lose more time not having our baby. The first time we sat down and spoke with Rob, we were not only embarrassed but we had zero confidence that anyone was going to change or help our situation. We couldn't have been more wrong! When we sat down and spoke with Rob during our initial consultation, it was the first time since our son was ripped out of our lives that we actually felt a sense of hope! He made us feel so comfortable, so confident, he made us see there could be a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Rob spent a great amount of time talking with us and told us exactly what his plan of action would be if we were to hire him. As confident as we were in him, we felt so defeated up until this point we were still unsure. After a long ride home and much discussion we knew that he was our best fighting chance. We consulted with Rob on a Tuesday and our court date was Thursday, so this was really our last desperate cry for help. Rob was also leaving for vacation the week we consulted with him so he wasn't going to be there for our first court date. He sent someone from his office in his place, and let me tell you as soon as the judge heard he was representing us-it was a whole new "ballgame"!!!!! Even though nothing was done that day, we left that courtroom knowing we made the right decision. To make a long story short, Rob told us this needed to be taken to trial. That word terrified us! We thought a trial would be extremely drawn out and very expensive. We met with Rob in August-when we marked our case for trial. Our next court date fell on our sons 2nd birthday 9/15/16 and the CPS county attorney called out sick. On October 20th-only our third court date, we won our case and our son cane HOME!!! Before we hired Rob we had read reviews where people have said they are forever in debt to him-and now we understand exactly what they meant. There are no words to express and no amount of money we could give to ever repay what Rob did for us. We have never met anyone who knows the law so unbelievably in and out-it's amazing! Rob, you will forever be family to us. You changed our lives for the best and we are blessed to have had you in our corner. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Innovative, Flawless, Resilient, Effective

As Combat Airborne Veteran, I highly recommend Mr, Del Col to my fellow veteran brothers & any person seeking an attorney, who exceeds the standards. Ill even give you and example, Mr, Del col is one of the few attorneys who is respected enough to give seminars to new students studying Law, the res...t are Judges, obviously Mr, Del Col is respect around his colleges and peers. His Pristine logic and innovative, strategies, strengthen his broad ever learning, expertise in law. What I notice right off the bat with him was his amazing interpersonal skills, which made me feel comfortable, enabling me to trust him as my attorney, through an array of complex legal issues. I have read some other blogs on this post about Mr, Del col not being able to be reached, which was not my experience at all & further-more, if he isn't available, its most likely because he is working on your case, or other clients he has an obligation to. So when the opposition is sleeping Mr. Del Col is grinding out your case, making sure all his legal tools are sharp for arbitration. This attribute of perseverance, along side with his logical thinking ability, along with his fond recollection of case law, enables him to effectively remedy facts, that work in his clients favor. I came to Mr, Del Col after I had exhausted much time and money with another attorney who actually made my case worse, although some attorneys may be known for how quick they respond and listen to you as if they were your therapist, don't be fooled, because these are the same attorneys who tell you what you want to hear, and each call is adding up, but my question is are the results in their clients favor, adding up, because with Mr. Del Col his work speaks for itself. Also for what its worth Mr. Del Col actually has never talked to me about money since the beginning of my case, Instead I would receive text and emails telling me, its going to be okay we will kick ass in court. Do you want a winner or do you want a therapist attorney, when its my Childs custody battle on the line or my freedom I want to win!

A Professional and a Smart Trial Attorney

I was in the midst of incredibly complex litigation and clearly needed more sophisticated counsel. I already had full custody of my son but considering the history it was essential that I had the right advocate. The international aspects involving treaty obligations of multiple countries alone we...re too complex for most attorneys to fully understand. I was introduced to Robert Del Col by a friend and immediately knew I was in good hands. He understood my concerns and the breadth of legal issues. He had the skill and judgment required to make my case in the strongest possible terms. The case is soon to be decided in full yet I am confident that Robert has represented me and ultimately my son's interests superbly. We have had our share of victories in our various motions and we will prevail in the final decision.

best trial lawyer in New York

There is no lawyer more committed to his clients than Bob. He is one of the VERY few lawyers that is NOT intimidated by prosecutors or large law firms. He knows his law and works with a passion. When he says he will go to trial, he is NOT bluffing and I can not tell you how important that is. He ...is known to follow through and go to trial. He takes control and is liked and respected by any jury he works in front of. I would recommend Bob to anyone that is facing criminal charges. Most lawyers take a fee go through the process for a few months or years and then recommend a plea, not Bob

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2005.

Censured issued in NY, 2005

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
