Mr. Grossbart helped me save my home from foreclosure and has given me great financial advice that I can use moving forward.

"Robert is my go-to lawyer for bankruptcy and debt issues when anything needs some deep thinking. He is well versed in the law, but also ponders the bigger issues, both for a family and for the country. He's also very nice to work with."
"Robert and I have served together on a non-profit board for an organization that provides legal services. Robert is also an active volunteer, who for years has helped clients of the non-profit. He does an excellent job identifying key issues and solving complex problems. Robert works well others, is extremely organized, and is a pleasure to work with."
"Robert really knows his stuff when it comes to bankruptcy. I refer my clients to him when they have needs more suitable to his area of practice."

"I endorse Bob Grossbart. I first heard of Bob when I was working for Maryland Legal Aid Bureau in Salisbury in the 1990s. I used to have to travel over the bridge to attend Chapter 13 hearings. I was always impressed with his professionalism, integrity and knowledge of the law. I moved to Florida, but met Bob at a NACBA conference in New Orleans. As did I, Bob attended Max Gardner's Bankruptcy Boot Camp--the premiere training event for any lawyer in this practice area. Bob's input on the Boot Camp listserv shows that he has a high degree of professionalism, integrity and knowledge in this area. In addition, Bob offers real-life advice based on his experience which is crucial to debtors after they get their discharge of debt. If I lived in the Baltimore area and needed to hire a lawyer for debt defense, bankruptcy or foreclosure, I would hire Bob Grossbart."
"I endorse this lawyer.Bob enjoys the highest reputation in Baltimore because he is smart, trustworthy and enterprising."
"I have known Robert my entire legal career and quite simply, when a bankruptcy issue comes up – he is the only call I make. Bankruptcy is a highly technical area of law, in which one mistake could be the death of your case. Robert’s mastery of the procedures and issues in bankruptcy cases is second to none. Robert was the first person I ever heard discuss the then pending mortgage crisis and point out the flaws in the lender’s practices – simply stated Grossbart is on top of the law. Equally important, he understands the human side of consumer bankruptcy and takes time to thoroughly explain the process to his clients. Over the years I have referred clients and friends to Robert’s care and he has never disappointed."
"I refer all of our clients who have a bankruptcy problem ( Consumer Chapter 13 and Chapter 7) to Robert Grossbart's law firm. I think he does excellent work and really cares about his client's problem. His experience goes beyond just bankruptcy and he has expertise in pursuing credit card companies for violations of the Fair Credit Act, and other collateral claims that bankruptcy clients often have against their creditors in these difficult times."
