Absolutely outstanding!
I contacted Bob for a consult on a legal matter causing great distress for my family during an already distressing time in our lives. Bob was quick to respond to my phone message. Prior to our consult, he thoroughly reviewed all the documents I sent him as well as any relevant court documents in the county system. During the consult, Bob was friendly, yet focused and professional. His experience and legal instincts were very apparent. While my particular case might have seemed mundane to other lawyers, he treated me like my situation was his highest priority. On top of this, his rates were more affordable than other attorneys I have recently worked with.

Excellent attorney - I highly recommend
Bob Raver represented me in my divorce, and I was beyond happy with the service he provided during a very challenging time, and despite the difficulties my case presented. The key points: He has a calm demeanor, yet at the same time is exceptional at developing and implementing a solid case strategy, and is as legally aggressive as needed without ever being over the top. This was key, as divorce can bring out of the worst in people, and he stuck to the strategy rather than responding to any meaningless but inflammatory comments/actions from the opposing side - and helped me to do the same. He not only had great ideas for strategy and approach, but was always willing to hear my thoughts and give them due consideration, or alternatively, tell me why he did not think they were good ideas. He was fantastic with follow-through, always communicated case status, and did a great job handling my case. From everything I have heard, he is extremely well respected by other attorneys and court staff. Needless to say, I would recommend him to my friends and family without hesitation.
