Additional to the general area of criminal defense, I have done many DUI cases in particular, including obtaining ARD for my client, negotiating a plea bargain, arguing suppression motions, and representing the defendant in a jury trial.

Expungement 5%

Pennsylvania law has expanded the types of cases that can now qualify for an expungement or a sealed record from what it was historically. For that reason I do more of these cases at this time than in previous years.

As my private practice has grown, and clients for whom I prepared a will have passed, this area has grown in recent years. I assist the executor or administrator with handling the estate of the family member who has passed.

I have prepared, and ensured the proper execution of, a great many wills at this point in my career. I make every effort to make sure the wishes of the testator are properly and accurately set forth in the will.

Custody

Back in 2012 had a big problem with my baby, I hired Robert And I can’t express with word how graceful I am with him, his professionalism, the way he care and the way he conducted all the investigation and time he spend in my case explaining to me each step each situation what can we do and all the ...extra step that may happen or no, it was a difficult time, but he took time and dedication and we win and for that I will for ever be thankful to him, after that I have hired him two more time.

Above and beyond

Attorney Bacher helped me with my divorce and did his job quickly and effectively after a previous lawyer I had hired was taking forever and getting me nowhere. Bob assisted me well regarding custody as well. Were he really hit a homerun was when he helped me reunite me with my son in only 12 days af...ter his mother kidnapped him to Nevada. He researched and found the legal grounds needed to do this. I will always be grateful for his diligence in helping us get back together.

Great attorney

Mr. Robert Bacher was extremely helpful and kind to me. My father and grandfather have both worked with him in the past and they recommended him to me. Robert was quick to answer all of my questions and did so thoroughly! He also had made great suggestions for my specific situation, and he ensured I ...was aware of all of my options. I was needing a no fault divorce taken care of and I don't think it could have been wrapped up any quicker. Absolutely great service, very knowledgeable, quick to respond to messages, and kept me updated every step of the way. He really knows his stuff. I am thankful to have had his help. I absolutely recommend his services to anyone.
