I was an Assistant District Attorney in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania for several years. I prosecuted hundreds of cases before becoming a defense attorney in 1986. Since then, I've defended thousands of clients in all kinds of criminal cases ranging from First Degree Murder to simple traffic tickets. I've defended thousands of DUI cases and have 35 years of experience. I take great pride in representing people and work hard to make sure their rights are protected. My fees are reasonable and I get great results. If you're looking for a FIGHTER, then I'm the lawyer for you.

The Mom:)
I was thrilled with Bob's service, he is the ultimate professional. You never think it will be your son who is wrapped up in something he shouldn't be, and when it happens, its devastating. Not only did Bob provide exceptional legal service, he also took the time to listen to me and guide me through ...

Amazing Lawyer!
Bob represented me on a difficult case. He did an amazing job and kept me out of jail. He was also always available by phone to answer any questions that came up or he would call me back the same day. I wouldn't recommend going to any other defense lawyer except Bob.
"I endorse Bob Adshead. Simply put, Bob's the gold-standard when it comes to criminal defense matters. He's a strong, protective advocate, with an attentive personal touch. In addition to being a genuine legal resource with an eclectic skill set for solving client problems, Bob is an effective communicator--possessing strong persuasion and legal-writing skills. If you're in need of finely-tailored, personalized legal-representation, look no further—Bob is your attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Bob for 30 years dating back to his days as an assistant district attorney. He is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Montgomery County"
"Robert Adshead is the top "go to" criminal defense lawyer in Montgomery County, PA. He obtains great results for his clients. He's very aggressive, knowledgeable and professional. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bob is a tenacious, well prepared attorney who works tirelessly for his clients. His familiarity with the Judges of this County serves him well. He has been appointed by the Court to handle criminal matters, and he also has a thriving private criminal practice. His experience, savvy and intimate knowledge of the criminal statutes enables him to address complicated legal issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Bob Adshead since we both started with the Montgomery County DA's Office in 1983. He worked his cases hard and did his own investigation and interviewed witnesses beyond what the case detective had done. Bob was an excellent prosecutor who had a good rapport with juries......His talent and work ethic only got better in criminal defense work after leaving the DA's Office.. As a fellow criminal defense attorney, I would often run issues by Bob and he provided good advice and recommendations. Not only does he have very good trial skills, but Bob is a good negotiator who is persistent and unwavering in working out the best possible resolutions for his toughest cases. I would not hesitate to say that Bob Adshead is a good friend and an excellent criminal defense attorney who works tirelessly for his clients."
"I have both had cases against Bob during my time in the District Attorney's Office and worked with as a criminal defense attorney. Bob is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and a skilled advocate for his clients. I highly recommend Bob."
"Experienced defense lawyer with first class judgment and a deep knowledge of the local bench and District Attorney's office. Organized, methodical, result-oriented. We referred a very tricky and dangerous matter to him - there was an excellent result and there is a delighted client."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am known Bob since we worked together in the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office and as a litigator and he has always been a top notch Attorney and a great professional."
"I unequivocally endorse this Bob Adshead. Bob was one of our top litigators during the time we served together in the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office. He developed a reputation as an aggressive, but fair minded prosecutor. Bob was well respected by his fellow ADAs, the criminal defense bar and the Montgomery County bench. He truly provided the Commonwealth with high quality representation, was always well prepared and was assiduous with his court presentations."
"Bob Adshead is a gifted attorney with great personal and professional skills. He has a real depth of understanding of the law and is able to present it terms that are easily understandable. He has the valuable trait of being able to ease his client's concerns. I would recommend him to anyone."
"Mr. Adshead is a professional in the truest sense of the word. He is easy to speak with, has a clear understanding of the law. He listens to his clients needs and works hard to gets results."
"For twenty years, Bob has been a trusted fellow attorney to whom I can refer clients who present a conflict of interest or have a type of case I do not handle. Every single one of them says something like, "thank you for that referral, Bob was great." I also value his opinion as a sounding board on matters I am handling myself. I endorse Bob without any reservation whatsoever."
"Bob Adshead and I have worked together on several complex cases. Bob has always shown a firm grasp of the law, has formidable skills in the Courtroom and has proven to be a strong advocate for his clients. "Backing down" is not in Bob’s vocabulary. He is respected by the Court and Prosecutors alike."
"I highly endorse this lawyer's work. Rarely in a lifetime does one meet an individual so incredibly talented, as highly intelligent, and as passionate for his clients and profession as Bob Adshead. Twenty (20) years ago I became one of those individuals. As a fellow attorney (who solely practices Estate Law), I have encountered many individuals who require legal services beyond the scope of my legal focus. Without a blink of an eye, I refer them to Mr. Adshead for a consultation. Inevitably, and almost without exception, I have then had the pleasure hearing that their situation was not only handled by Bob, but also ended in a result far exceeding their expectations. When I am then thanked by them for assisting them in finding Mr. Adshead, I consider myself a blessed and fortunate attorney in knowing Bob all these years. There are not enough words to convey my gratitude for knowing Bob. If you are in a situation that requires his services, I guarantee you will experience the same."
