Excellent Representation Against North American Van Lines

Rob was recommended to us by a neighborhood friend as having an excellent reputation in solving cases similar to ours. We recently moved out of state from Georgia. Our moving company "disposed of" half of our household belongings after delivering them to the wrong state. Rob helped us settle a cla...im that was overwhelming and daunting to us. Not only did he know all of the legal loopholes that needed to be dealt with, he also was readily available to my husband and me via phone calls, emails or text. He listened to me vent and gave us hope as we took on a national moving company. Rob advised us of what to do step by step to achieve the outcome we wanted. We were able to settle for an amount we were very happy with. I highly recommend Rob to anyone in need of an attorney. Job well done!

Professional and Comfortable

Our gratitude for Rob Spear's legal assistance and support is substantial. He has been helping us peel away the layers of a real estate partnership problem for more than 10 years. Rob made the problems, which initially seemed overwhelming, manageable. In his comfortable and direct manner, Rob has ...been attentive to our current as well as anticipated legal needs. He brings remarkable humor and creativity to problem solving. Without his legal expertise and sustained negotiation efforts on our behalf, I think we would be entering retirement with a significantly different outlook.

Superb legal work, creative problem solver

Spears has been my company's go-to outside attorney for a decade. He brings a combination of deep legal expertise and creative problem solving skills that get results while keeping down our legal expenses. For example, I gave up after paying heavily to a UK-based solicitor we'd hired to collect unpai...d invoices from a slippery international distributor. Finally I turned it over to Rob, and he quickly got us a judgment from GA state court. Then Rob executes a strategy to enforce our rights to goods the distributor bought from other suppliers as they were being shipped through a port. In another case Rob wrangled a settlement out of an international trademark infringer by persuading counsel that we would win local jurisdiction, and we didn't even have to file the suit. In other cases he defended us from spurious patent trolls; and during the tough recession years he protected the company and the interests of our senior debt holders from the tactics of overly-aggressive unsecured creditors. During the ups and downs of our business cycle Rob has been a dependable and brilliant partner for our company. I highly recommend him.
