Robert Wells is an exceptional and highly skilled attorney. He is well respected in State and Federal Courts by judges, prosecutors and fellow attorneys in the community. Robert truly cares about his clients and excels in his advocacy on their behalf. I have personally worked with Robert and have learned a great deal in doing so. I do not hesitate to to recommend him as one of the best defense attorneys in Central New York.

Rob is the consummate professional. He is extremely thorough and effective due to his devotion and commitment to our profession. When not studying with the best-of-the-best, he is teaching other lawyers the skills that we need to be the best advocates for our clients. I am honored that Rob has the trust in me to refer important matters, and to allow me to work with him in the pursuit of justice for everyday folks.

I have had the fortune of working with Rob and I witnessed first hand his ability within the federal criminal defense system and his compassion for his clients. Rob is well respected in our legal community as he should be.

I heartily endorse Rob Wells. His courtroom skills are above and beyond, but his biggest assets are his compassion and his zeal for the defense of his clients. We have worked together as officers of the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, where Rob generously devotes his time training other lawyers in our CLE programs. His leadership is important to the success of the organization, and he is always available to mentor young lawyers.

I endorse Rob for the great knowledge of all aspects of criminal defense, mainly his ability to convey complex legal concepts in simple, understandable terms. He has been a lecturer at our bar association's Criminal Track Programs and has received outstanding evaluations from his fellow lawyers attending these seminars. I have found him compassionate and dedicated to serving his clients and more than willing to assist other lawyers with their cases.

I have known Robert for about 5 years now and I know he is one of the finest lawyers and gentlemen I have ever met. Robert is a wonderful trial lawyer whose holistic approach to trial engenders trust in juries and in jurists. He works hard and is tireless in pursuit of justice for his clients. Without a doubt Robert knows more law than almost anyone I have met and he runs a great office with wonderful and helpful staff. I strongly endorse this lawyer.

Rob is an excellent choice if you are confronted with a criminal justice issue. He is on the short list of people I would contact if I needed an attorney in the greater Syracuse area for either State or Federal matters. .

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I am proud to endorse this lawyer. Mr. Wells is an accomplished, zealous and polished litigator who puts his clients first. He can also always be counted on to assist fellow lawyers with guidance and advice and is universally respected within the community. I would highly recommend his services to any client; you could not ask for a stronger ally and advocate in the courtroom.

I met Rob Wells in Wyoming at a CLE in 2011. His experience in federal criminal litigation is top notch. I am glad I have the benefit of calling him when my legal research hits a roadblock in a federal case.
