This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Exceptional Attorney

Mr. Klinck provided superior service in my case. He was professional, calm, logical and guided me through a partnership separation. I highly recommend Mr. Klink for business litigation.

Posted by Herb | October 1, 2014

Excellent attorney.

Robert Klink is a first rate lawyer in every respect. He brings great judgment and sound advice to every case. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He guided our group through several patent litigation matters and he created excellent results even when the facts went against us.

Ideal Advocate and Partner

Bobby represented us in cases involving very complex copyright, trademark, and antitrust issues for which we heavily relied on his depth of knowledge in the various areas as well as his clarity of advice. Aside from being very responsive throughout the representation, he truly took the time and effo...rt to understand our business and industry. He is a true asset to any potential client.

Great litigator

Bobby represented us in complex antitrust and IP litigation cases, and he delivered positive business results each time. He's always diligent and on top of the loose ends that inevitably creep into any case, and he maintains a professional demeanor no matter how challenging the circumstances.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
