This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

There's no one else who I would rather represent me.

Attorney Rob Partin first agreed to represent me in a divorce 13 ½ years ago. He made me feel like he was as much my kids' attorney as he was mine. During that course of difficulties with my now ex, Atty Partin's level of compassion stayed at 100%. And, I very quickly came to see that he really liste...ns well, even to things I said that I thought he may not bother to remember, but did. Also, this is a smart man; he really knows his business, and he prepares you well for court by telling you everything you need to know and then some. Atty Partin has a genuine kind demeanor, not just the nice demeanor that some professionals put on just to win your trust. He exudes kindness, friendliness, and patience. He follows through quickly on whatever matter needs following through on, and he never once misled me. He is a great communicator. About 10½ ago, when I again called on atty Partin because I needed to become a legal guardian, he explained that he didn't do guardianships and said that he would call me back after calling an attorney who he would recommend. Shortly, atty Partin called me back with the name and phone number of an attorney who worked out well for me. Atty Partin, like family, even showed up for moral support on the court date of the guardianship hearing; he didn't have to do that. But, he did. Four years ago, atty Partin was again representing me in court against my ex, who had become problematic. My son was with me and, at some point, excused himself from the courtroom. The judge asked me if my son was okay, and I think I simply said that he would be fine waiting outside of the courtroom. Then, atty Partin explained to the judge the kind of atmosphere that makes my son uncomfortable, the kind that was being created in court by my ex; I was impressed that atty Partin remembered that about my son for all of those years, from the first time he represented us. I very highly recommend Attorney Robert Partin!

Phenomenal Attorney

I have known Rob for about 20 years. I too am a family law attorney. When he was on the other side of a case, he always fought hard for his client yet kept the door open for settlement. A+ person and lawyer.

Refused to fight for us in court - Charged us double from his original quote

We hired Rob Partin for a custody case. In the beginning, he appeared to be great and acted like he was going to fight for our case. That wasn’t the case when court came. Although we hired him months before court, just days before the actual trial date, he changed his stance on everything and advised... against us trying to fight for custody. He wanted us to agree to the other party’s terms no matter what. We went from having our daughter (95%) of the time to now only having her 40% of the time which we worked out the 40% after court, on our own!!! In court, we lost as Rob wouldn’t fight for us and we had no other choice and were only going to have our daughter 4 days a month!! He had NO reason to not fight for us. He also quoted us $1,500. Our final bill is almost $4,000!!! He now says he never said $1,500 which is a lie!! I do not recommend him at all for anything!!!
