Endorse Robert

Unknown lawyer | Mar 09

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the privilege of working with Robert when I was completing my 3rd year Law School externship at the Fayette County DA's office. He is not only a great attorney with a vast knowledge of the law, but he also takes that knowledge to his trial practice in the Courtroom. Highly recommend him as I learned a lot from him and consider him as one of my mentors."

Appeals lawyer | Apr 18

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Robert is a dedicated public servant and one of the most knowledgeable and experienced appellate attorneys in the Atlanta area. Many attorneys dabble in appeals as an offshoot of their main trial practice, but Robert is a true expert in the field of criminal appeals. He has argued before all of Georgia's state and federal appellate courts, regularly updates his colleagues on important developments in Georgia case law, and studies the art and science of appellate practice."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
