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!

awful

Came recommended. Made the mistake of letting him handle my divorce. Would have been better off representing myself. Never explained anything to me or answered my questions. Wouldn't respond to any phone calls. Had his secretary say he wasn't in. Did absolutely nothing to get me what I lawfully deser...ved. In the end, if you need heart surgery you see a cardiologist. If you're getting divorced, you see a divorce attorney not a criminal one who just takes your money and could care less about the outcome. And by the way, I hear he is now in need of his own criminal attorney.

Divorce Client Mark

Aside from being a great lawyer, Bob has a unique ability to foretell the future. I trusted him and he outlined what to expect. Wow, was he on the money. Because of Bob’s skill and work ethic, I have custody of my children. I did have an obligation as a client to listen AND follow his advice, eve...n when I didn’t like what he told me to do. He was always right. I am forever in his debt, for what he has given me is priceless and beyond any gift I have or will ever receive. I have my children’s lives in my hands to guide them with love, trust and support. God Bless Bob. He has amazing and incredible abilities and is the smartest man I’ve ever met. He has the ability to write motions, try a case, appeal an unfair or improper decision; he keeps everyone on their toes. He knows the law better than any attorney I have ever met and on trial, he owns the Courtroom. He will also tell a person (client, lawyer or Judge) when they are being unreasonable or if they have an unwinnable position. He’s not a big hand-holder but, like he says, “you’re gonna hate me during the race but you’ll be kissing me at the finish line.” Lastly, as a constitutional and criminal lawyer, he’s amongst the best in the State and everyone knows it.

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.
