Really the Best!

Bob has helped me prepare various employment-related legal documents, from employee handbooks to severance agreements and has provided excellent advice. As a result we have enjoyed multiple years of conflict free employee relations. His counsel has always been sound and takes into consideration ...upcoming or pending case law and legislation. His viewpoint includes the implications of various actions on the company and its employees. Lots of attorneys can tell you what the law says; it takes an insightful and experienced attorney with an "insider's perspective" to outline the impact of various approaches and possible mitigating tactics. Bob's a strategic business partner for any busy HR executive and I recommend him highly.

Avvo Rating

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.
