About Robert

Originally from South Carolina, I graduated from Winthrop University in 1998 with a degree in History.  After getting married, I enrolled at the Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, AL where I served as the Associate Editor of the Law Review and the Chief Justice of the Honor Court.  After graduating from Law School in 2002, my wife and I moved to our current home in Woodstock, GA.  We have raised two wonderful daughters here in Woodstock over the past 18 years.

Prior to starting Tidwell Strimban Injury Lawyers with my accomplished law partner, Aaron Strimban, I spent 7 years of my career representing insurance companies, and their insureds, defending against personal injury lawsuits.  During that time I handled thousands of cases, taking several of them to trial with outstanding results.  I now use that experience to represent individuals who have been injured by the negligence of others to maximize their recovery from the insurance companies.

Review Robert Tidwell

personal injury representation

Posted by

Mr. Tidwell has been the bright spot in what turned out to be a seemingly endless battle to get my insurance company to pay for surgeries after my automobile accident. He was sympathetic to my needs and brought a quick resolution to my case. I would recommend him to anyone needing expert representation in his field.

He truly cares for his clients!

Mr. Tidwell did such a great job helping me through my case. He took so much time with me, helping me understand the process and making sure I was able to see the doctors I needed to see even though I didn't have a lot of money to pay the doctors up front. He was more concerned with helping me get better from my wreck than anything else. When it was over, I couldn't believe the recovery he got for me. Not only was I better, but I had enough money to help me get on with my life. If you are looking for a lawyer, you have to call Mr. Tidwell. There can't be any better out there.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I have known Robert for many years and have asked him for advice numerous times. His advice has always been insightful and helpful, regardless of the area of law. I have also had the pleasure of witnessing Robert in the courtroom and he is an incredible advocate for his clients. He truly is one of the attorneys that "gets it" and I would not hesitate to refer family members, friends, or colleagues to this attorney for help when they need it most.

Robert and I began practicing law at the same time for the same law firm in 2002. I feel fortunate to call a Robert a friend and highly recommend him as a lawyer. Robert is not only knowledgeable about the law, but he is also passionate about helping people. I have seen firsthand how hard Robert works for his clients and how much he cares about providing effective legal counsel.
