Truly Top Notch

I cannot recommend Rob Blair and his staff enough. They exuded positivity and professionalism in every interaction. Rob's advice was excellent and also measured, which I very much appreciated, and I felt confident that we were on the right course every step of the way. He and his staff were prompt... and attentive to details and I felt very supported during what was a difficult process. Most importantly, I felt that Rob really took the time to know exactly where I was coming from and provided strong representation and advocacy while respecting the type of tone I wished to strike. Because of Rob's help, I ended up receiving back child support that was owed to me. I would recommend him to anyone needing a family lawyer for any reason.

CEO

As the CEO of a $9 billion organization my martital estate was a bit complicated. So I needed an attorney who had dealt with very complex situations, while being very efficient with my time, and who was also able to help maintain an even keel during a very emotionally challenging rollercoaster proces...s. Rob Blair helped me with all the above and more. We not only reached a very fair agreement, but did so with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity. I would recommend Rob without hesitation.

• The best person for a really tough job

I have known Rob Blair since 2007. He is an exceptional family lawyer. Rob was my attorney through my divorce from a 31 year marriage and for my pre-nuptial agreement when I happily remarried 4 years later. While I can personally attest divorce is one of the most difficult things anyone will ever h...ave to go through, Rob and his staff helped ease the pain by treating me like family during the entire process. They truly care and understand how hard, and sad, a divorce can be. I’m grateful for Rob’s wisdom, strength, and compassion as my advocate throughout my divorce. I give him my highest recommendation. There’s a good reason Business North Carolina magazine named Rob the top family law attorney in North Carolina on its 2016 list of “Legal Elite”, and Best Lawyers in America© has named him to its 2017 list in the fields of family law and family law mediation. He’s really that good.

The very best ever....

Rob Blair is my attorney and he represented me throughout my divorce proceedings; he is a man of strong moral character who treats everyone with dignity and respect. Rob is a great communicator and his ability to reason and deal with opposing attorneys paved the way for a smooth process. His level... of professionalism is second to none and the same pertains to his entire team. Rob’s knowledge of the law and his pragmatic approach to the challenges one is faced with when going through a divorce make him the best. I am so thankful that I had his representation and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Results oriented professional

Rob helped me get through one of the most difficult times of my life. His knowledge, experience and results oriented demeanor kept me properly focused for the long term. He's tough; smart, fair, balanced and kind. What I found most impressive was his ability to handle the attorneys on the other side... in a manner that kept the process level headed and strategic in nature. He didn't nickel and dime me to death and did his best to always make me aware of the financial ramifications of my decisions up front. He knows the law, he always has a strategy and he cares about getting you the results you want. I couldn't have asked for more and I give him my highest reccomendation.
