Caring And Concientious

We were both seriously injured in an automobile accident in North Carolina on our way home to New York. Since we lived far away from the site of the accident, we needed to find a lawyer in North Carolina who would represent our interests. Robert L. Armstrong was highly recommended by a New York attor...ney who knew of his reputation when he lived and worked in New York. During our long recoveries and afterwards, he was in frequent contact with us to keep us posted on the progress of our cases. He addressed all our questions and concerns with clear explanations. In addition, Robert Armstrong showed a personal interest in the progress of our recoveries. His secretary, Stephanie, was excellent in handling all the required paperwork. She was always pleasant and friendly when we spoke to her on the telephone. We would highly recommend the law firm of Robert L. Armstrong.

The Calming Factor in the Midst of a Storm

I am so thankful to have been represented by Robert L. Armstrong! He is a fantastic listener who really cares. It was so relieving to have him take over all of the chaos of my car accident. The phone calls and the paperwork were too much for me to manage on top of my busy work schedule. He validated... me, took control of the situation and brought some peace back into my days. I'm 100% satisfied with his service and trust him enough to recommend him to anyone needing a car accident attorney.

Excellent Communicator and Representation

Bob handle the case as a true professional would. He worked very hard to obtain the absolute best results possible and delivered. Communicated very well throughout the entire process. He says what he can and cannot make happen up front so there are no misconceptions and then comes through on his comm...itments. I personally and highly recommend his services to anyone in need of outstanding counsel, representation and most importantly, results.

Robert L Armstrong

I was at a hotel in NC saying goodbye to my son going to Iraq, leaving for a year of active duty with the Military. I was sitting by the pool, and a metal fence fell on me. I ended up with two shoulder surgeries, and much pain for over three years. Due to the laws in NC, I needed to find a NC lawy...er to represent me in this case. I live in WI!! I went online, and searched several sites. I found Bob Armstrong as one of the choices. During the first conversation, I knew he was the lawyer for me. He was interested in me as a person, not just the case. We talked, and I knew, by the questions he asked me, he was seeing what kind of person the condition had!! Bob kept in contact with me during the medical procedures and we talked fairlty often. He asked me to do some work, which I think was fair and helpful for the case. He prepared me to go to trial, but we were able to settle in arbitration. I feel because of his great care in presenting the case to the arbitrator and the other lawyer, we were able to settle. I feel Bob really did his homework by getting a fence expert examine the aforementioned fence and having me see another surgeon for a second opinion on my shoulder. He also found animations for the surgires I had on my shoulder, which depicted in very easy to understand graphics - the surgeries I had done on my shoulder. I knew he cared about me as a person, not just what he could win in this case, and I so appreciated that.

A lawyer who really cares!

From the moment I met Robert I sensed that he would be the a lawyer I could trust. He made it a point to get to know me as a person, and answered any and all questions I had for him. He never made me feel like I was asking stupid questions, or that I was bothering him when I called or emailed him. He... made time for me whenever I was in town (I live in Raleigh) even if I didn't have a pre-arranged appointment. My family also felt comfortable and respected. He and his staff were professional and kept me in the loop as he negotiated through the settlement process with the insurance companies. Throughout the process of my injury recovery Robert kept up with my progress and encouraged me not to give up when I was struggling. His communication was always encouraging and positive, honest and personal. Most of my contact was with Robert directly, so I knew I was getting the personal attention I needed. Robert explained the legal process clearly so I always felt involved in my case. By the time my case was resolved a year later I felt like I had a new friend who just happened to be a REALLY good lawyer! I highly recommend Robert Armstrong!
