Adminstrative Assistant needing legal help

I had a serious issue regarding my foster child. He was taken from me by investigators because I tried to do the right thing. A co-worker asked me to call Mr. Robertson and although he was at a dinner party, he told me he would call me back. I was so surprised when he actually called me back. He apol...ogized for the lateness of the hour but it was okay. We talked that night and he told me he would call me before the hearing the next day. As promised, he called me and got the necessary information and said he would see me in court. Since I had never met him, I did not know who this handsome man was that came in and asked for me. As we talked before they called my name, he asked my husband and I to just keep quite and he would handle the situation. When the court started, he asked the judge if he could have a moment with the DCF investigators. The left the courtroom and 10 minutes later, they came back and the investigators agreed to return our son back to our care. If it had not been for Mr. Robertson, I believe we would have never gotten our son back and as a result, on May 3, 2013, we officially adopted our son. Mr. Robertson is very professional, knowledgeable and very kind. I have and would recommend him for any legal help that you want to WIN!!!!!!!!

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.
