About Robert

Learn Robert’s areas of practice.

5
Practice areas
  1. Appeals
    60%
    Appellate practice involves bringing a matter to a higher court for review if a party believes that the trial court has ruled incorrectly. The party who wishes to challenge that ruling (or wishes to respond to another party's challenge) may wish to consult with an attorney who handles appellate matters, regardless of whether the matter involves a personal injury, a business dispute, a family matter, etc. Acting promptly is essential.

  2. Contracts and agreements
    10%
    It is wise to take agreements that you make and reduce them to writing. This reduces the chance of misunderstanding and preserves the terms of the agreement if it should become necessary to present or review them.

  3. Lawsuits and disputes
    10%

  4. Litigation
    10%
    If you have a grievance involving a possible violation of your legal rights, a consultation with an attorney is advisable.

  5. Wills and living wills
    10%
    It is advisable to make provision for how your assets will be distributed. A will is the traditional method of doing this, but other options also exist.

I practice in Florida, although I'm also admitted to the Colorado Bar (and was formerly admittted in New York).  

My practice involves the handling of appellate matters in most areas of civil law. 

In addition, I provide "trial support" by conducting legal research and by preparing motions, memoranda, responses, etc. I also handle litigation, prepare wills and contracts and assist with credit card debt.

I’ve learned many things in law since I began practicing in Florida over 25 years ago. I’ve been involved with all types of cases and issues in that time and I’ve learned that a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work”: every situation is unique in some way. The first part of my job is to listen to what you’re saying about your particular needs. I make every effort to respond promptly to your phone calls and e-mails. ’

A large part of my practice is devoted to helping trial lawyers. I do this by handling appeals (in most areas of civil law) and by providing assistance with whatever issues or needs may arise in the course of litigation. In that context, I’m a troubleshooter.

Other areas of my practice include providing wills (and other related documents),negotiating with credit card creditors, handling contract matters, and handling disputes (which may or may not have reached the trial level).

You are welcome to contact me (without charge) to discuss any legal matter or question that you may have. Because I'm based in North Broward (near the Palm Beach County border), I commonly work with clients in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Miami. The "reach" of the Internet, however, allows me to service clients beyond South Florida and throughout the state.

I look forward to working with you.

BEST APPELLATE ATTORNEY!!
Bob is Amazing!!! By far the absolute BEST Appeals Attorney in Broward County that I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with! He was extremely knowledgable, intuitive and helpful- Truly one of a kind! He anticipated many of the questions I had and often had the answer before I had even finished asking! I cannot speak highly enough of his aptitude, efficiency, and dedication- He is a Superstar!! Thank you for all that you do Bob!!!

Very Professional and Helpful
I called Robert to ask his advice on an Appeals case. He advised me not to move forward based on the details I provided. I believe he took the time and actually called my prior Lawyer to discuss it in depth. I would recommend him. Thank You!

Man of his word!
It is very hard to come across a person with integrity, and the highest conduct of ethics. I had been fighting a foreclosure case for 6 years. The banks exhausted almost all of their possibilities and found a judge that does not mind putting cases on a rocket docket. Anyone that have heard of this knows that what I mean and I do not have to go into any details. Mr. Garven help me review the banks negotiated documents without asking for any upfront money. With his help my deficiency was waved, and I walked away with a lump sum of money. He took the time to listen and care........

Positive Resolution of Contract Dispute
We turned to Robert (Bob) after he answered our contract question here in Avvo. After a consultation with him, he began working on our case. He was also available to answer our questions, so we didn't have to deal with a paralegal in his place or have our calls sent directly to voice mail. When you're dealing with a stressful situation (We usually don't hire lawyers for good times), it's nice to know that someone is going to answer when you call or write. He listened to our problems, reviewed our evidence, and understood our needs, yet he was honest about our risks and advised us when to play our cards and when to hold them. He didn't waste our time and money with frivolous and extra work - he did what was necessary to get the job done, thus saving us money in the process. We ended up with a positive solution to our dispute. We are sure it's because of Bob's straightforward attitude and expertise. He has a good sense of humor, too. We would hire him again if necessary.
