About Bob
Biography
If you face criminal charges that can result in a prison sentence, a fine, probation and a permanent criminal record, you need to rely on an experienced Roanoke criminal defense lawyer with a proven track record. Robert F. Rider, founding attorney of Robert F. Rider PLC, in Roanoke, Virginia, represents individuals who face criminal charges ranging from simple traffic violations and DUI charges to assault, sex crimes and more. He also represents individuals and small-business owners who are facing tax debt issues, whether it is unpaid income taxes, payroll taxes or charges involving tax fraud or tax evasion. Mr. Rider has focused his practice exclusively on criminal defense including traffic violations, DUI defense, and tax debt settlement for more than 30 years. In that time, he has earned a reputation as a hands-on attorney who always takes the time to understand the unique aspects of every case. Because he is not churning through the volume of cases that larger firms demand, he is able to provide more customized legal representation and explain all aspects of a case to the client in order to involve him or her in the decision-making process. Call a lawyer who will call you right back. The staff at Robert F. Rider PLC returns messages within 24 hours whenever possible. Attorney Robert Rider and his assistants take great pride in creating a friendly environment in which to discuss the details of your case. You will quickly become aware that Mr. Rider and his staff are personally invested in every case they accept.
He also has proven over the years that he is able to develop innovative solutions to complex cases in both criminal defense and tax debt relief.
Whether you are facing criminal charges or wrestling with significant back taxes, prolonging the resolution will only add to your stress. Mr. Rider uses advanced negotiation skills and strong relationships with prosecutors bring a quick resolution to many cases without the need for a trial. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, especially in a criminal matter, Mr. Rider is always prepared to fight for your rights in a court of law.
