Federal Crime 25%

Penalties for a federal conviction are enormous. Drug and gun convictions can put you away for years. Even first-time offenders face stiff penalties. As a former federal prosecutor, I know where to look for weakness and how to negotiate with AUSAs.

25%
Criminal Defense 20%

Accused of a federal or state felony, misdemeanor, or violation? Under criminal or regulatory investigation? If so, you need an experienced attorney who is not afraid to fight the government to protect your rights and secure a favorable outcome.

20%
Child Abuse 15%

I defend persons indicated for abuse and neglect on the State Central Registry (SCR). Indicated findings can have a negative impact on your career, reputation, and ability to parent. I will help you appeal and unsubstantiate your indicated finding.

15%
DUI and DWI 10%

Making a mistake does not make you a criminal. Yet, nowadays, the consequences of drinking and driving can be severe, effecting your family, career, and freedom. From arraignment to trial and before the DMV, I will work hard to protect your rights.

10%
Military Law 10%

You worked hard for your reputation, career, and benefits. If you are under investigation for misconduct or sub-standard performance at a Court-Martial, BOI, ADSEP, NJP/Article 15, or MEB/PEB proceeding, I am a former Judge Advocate and can help.

10%
Sex Crime 10%

An accusation of sexual misconduct can destroy your reputation. A conviction can label you as a sex offender for life. I prosecuted and investigated hundreds of sex crimes involving children and adults. I know how to defend you and your reputation.

An Exceptional Attorney for the Most Serious Matters

Hiring Attorney R. singer was the most critical and best decision I made when faced with an NCIS investigation. For over four years, he guided me through an incredibly stressful and complex process with unmatched expertise and dedication. Mr. Singer is strategic, knowledgeable about the military j...ustice system, and a relentless advocate. He kept me informed, prepared, and protected at every stage. The result speaks for itself: after this prolonged investigation, the case was successfully closed with NO criminal charges filed. The relief is immeasurable. I owe my future to his skills and perseverance. I cannot thank him enough. If you need an attorney for a serious military or federal matter, look no further.

Excellent criminal attorney

Rob listened carefully and provided accurate advice in a timely manner. He was available quickly to help with a criminal case and provided prompt and courteous service for a reasonable fee. Rob asked all the right questions and helped me understand the process and the likely outcome. His calm, pro...fessional approach helped us during a very stressful time.

Great Lawyer & Friendly

I hired Rob back a couple months ago when I got caught up in a couple charges. Out of all the lawyers I spoke with, what stood out about Rob was his overly kindness attitude and willingness to listen and give advice. I can firmly say since the day I met up with Rob in person he has been nothing but a... wonderful person to me and did good work for me! I would recommend anyone in trouble to turn towards Rob. YOU WON’T BE DISSATISFIED he will go above and beyond to help you!

Military covid vaccine

I am an E-3 in the Air Force and was trying to navigate the covid vaccine landscape. I was still doing research to try and make the best decision, the on base legal office was not helpful or knowledgeable and I had the same experience with medical. Mr. Singer was able to answer many of my questions a...nd was able to find answers to the ones he couldn’t immediately answer, even calling a scientist to answer questions I had about the vaccine formula. The Air Force set a deadline of November 2nd to get vaccinated, and my command responded by calling us in random groups and telling us to get vaccinated or face disciplinary action. I initially refused, and Mr. Singer was extremely knowledgeable in all the possible scenarios and had different courses of action depending on what I wanted to do. He was also responsive, promptly responding to messages and answering calls. Overall positive experience, if I need to hire a lawyer again, he will be my first choice

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
