Very disappointed

Robert was an attorney for my Husband domestic case from a previous relationship , he handled it not bad and got PTI for my second half however it didn’t resolve the main issue. I contacted Robert to let him know about my husband's violent temper while court was pending for a previous domestic case... .Later I had to place FRO and that’s when MR .Seller reached out to me for information. He was aware that I have a lawyer, however, playing a game made me think he is no longer my husband's lawyer and will not be . I shared with him information a month later he is my husband’s lawyer again. In my opinion it was very low and unprofessional (dirty game plan ) . I would never recommend Robert Seller .

Great lawyer

I can’t thank Robert enough for his time and effort to get through my case. His knowledge and patience showed how much he cared about me. It feels like a dream that this case is closed. I’m very happy!! THANK YOU!

Criminal Defense

Mr. Robert Sellers goes above and beyond first and foremost. From the minute I was referred to Mr. Sellers he embraced me as I was his family even though him and I had never met before. He would laugh and joke and be serious at the same time.. By him doing so it allowed myself to really open up about... everything I had going on and feel comfortable doing so. Mr. Sellers didn't pass any judgment but instead made me feel right at home and in good hands. Mr. Sellers from the time I hired him until present is and has always been one phone call or text away 7 days a week 24 hours per day. Mr. Sellers took on my case Head On. Reading through everything and game planning at same time. He was like a mad scientist that was not gonna fail nor be defeated. When we went to trial Mr. Sellers did what he does best. He hammered down and went full steam ahead. He had the respect of Everyone in the room when he talked and said what needed to be said. He quickly had my case dismissed after proving I did nothing wrong. Mr. Sellers from day one was as Professional as they come but at the same time made you feel like you were family. From day one I never felt like I was a burden or looked down on. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr.Sellers and his Law Firm without hesitation.

A lawyer that will honestly Step up to the Plate for you .

In my day I have needed a lawyer on quite a few occasions. Due to various reasons . I have had some do a great job and it cost me dearly while others cost me leaving no results. When i went to Robert at the recommendation of a friend and I am glad that I did . He gave me a new look at the lawyers... in Pennsylvania. He listened and we went from there . I had a consultation with him on one matter and ended up hiring him for that matter as well as fixing previous matters that i had been thru . I had lost my license but a friend having a medical emergency pleaded for my help and I drove to help. On my way home from helping i was stopped and charged for driving while suspended. Robert represented me had all charges dropped if guilty I would had done up to 6 months in prison . He knew what many lawyers don't let you know . In aclufe or death situation even a suspended driver can take to the wheel to save a life. He not only took care of that but had the case reopened that lead to that suspension . He was able to fix that problem . I was wrongly charged at a higher level which my former lawyer did nothing about changing and the DA in the county would not allow me to file an appeal because she said only a lawyer could file that appeal and my former lawyer wouldn’t . I went to a few law firms all agreeing that i was wrongly charged but when they new who the original lawyer that had represented me that said they couldn’t do anything because it would be stepping on his feet . So I finally gave up . When i met Robert I had told him about situation and he looked into and i was illegally charged but since i had already passed the statute of limitations for appeal however they said it was a clerical error and the charge was lowered after I had already spent time on house arrest and paid fines of a higher charge . He is currently looking at the matter that happened before that and is working to fix that which had been dismissed with prejudice . He actually knows his law and will listen ti your problems where other lawyers don't treat clients equally he gives equal priority to all and if you have a case he will be the one to take the time and fight for you . I was brushed aside before and by accepting what my former said i ended up having my life turned in disarray. When a lawyer looks into problems by actually consulting the law books you will get better results than those that don't look and just ask colleagues because they actually site precedented cases . Robert listens to you doesn’t dismiss what you have to say and looks into it. He will represent you and with him you will win . Get a lawyer that comes prepared . Not one that is so unprepared that they ask the judge for a higher sentence than you would have been served . He is a a young lawyer but he is the only lawyer thT i will ever use again . He is not afraid to fix the system and he isnt going to do backroom deals on you to save the next client . He is the lawyer that takes each case like its his only case . That is most impressive he knows the upto date changes in the law as well as the former laws and will put them to use for you . So when you want integrity you want Robert G. Sellars the lawyer that makes everyone feel like they are worth fighting for . And brings back results without compromise . He fights for what you want not for what might help his next client you are not treated like a bargaining tool . He is the real deal smart. honest and not hard on the eyes . Remember your lawyer is a reflection of you .
