Client

During a long and difficult task spading over two years, Mr. Robert G. Amsel's as our son's defense attorney conducted himself with the highest level of professionalism, dedication to duty, knowledge, depth of experience, and conviction. His years of experience, skills, wisdom, and wise counsel t...o our family during these two plus years is greatly appreciated and we will always be indebted to Mr. Amsel's for his devotion to our son as his client. During the two years plus, there were several challenges and court appearances; in each and every challenge and court appearance, Mr. Amsel's delivered victory after victory and brought closure to a very difficult situation. As I look back and asses the sequence of events, the challenges, the victories, and the outcome, I could not have asked for a better outcome. In an era, where many attorneys are viewed in a different light, Mr. Amsel's worked and dedicated himself to upholding the highest level in his profession as he went about his work, this reflects great credit upon Mr. Amsel's and his profession as a criminal defense attorney. I would highly recommend Mr. Robert G. Amsel's to anyone who may require a defense attorney.

Attorney Robert Amsel Review

Mr. Amsel was the attorney who handled my case and he far exceeded my expectations. Mr. Amsel was always readily available when needed, responding to phone calls and e-mails the same day. He was very patient in answering all questions and accommodating my schedule in regards to meetings and court dat...es. His presence in the courtroom is profound and it was always very evident in our encounters that he is highly respected by both his colleagues and other clients. Mr. Amsel really goes the extra mile and does not hesitate to be extremely proactive to ensure the most optimal outcome. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with having Mr. Amsel represent me. I would highly recommend him for any legal proceedings.

Great Attorney

Robert Amsel represented me in a federal drug case. He was with me from indictment to post-incarceration and I can honestly say he did everything possible to help me in every way. My case was a relatively simple open and shut case, and yet he still went above and beyond to seek a better outcome for ...me. I was completely satisfied with the details he found in his research, and with the way he presented them in court. He also did a great job of presenting me as a person, along with all the mitigating circumstances, during my sentencing which ended up helping a lot. He was also there for me while I was in the county jail and could contact very few people. After my incarceration, he continued to help me in many ways, even though my fee technically only covered everything up until my sentencing. I would greatly recommend Mr. Amsel to anyone facing a criminal charge. He is friendly, easy to talk to, and takes your opinions and concerns into account when he is working, instead of just running your case his way. 5 stars all the way.

An oustanding criminal lawyer!

I highly recommend Robert Amsel as an oustanding criminal defense attorney. He represented me in an unfortuante situation I found myself in with serious charges. As a result of his oustanding representation I was cleared of all charges. His credibility in the courtroom is evident by the respect he re...ceives from the lawyers and judges. I always felt at ease and confident the minute he walked into the courtroom because he was always so well prepared and such an effective an outstanding advocae. I will always be so grateful not just for his legal representation but for the support he provided me during this difficult time. I highly recommend Robert as the best criminal defense attorney in our community.
