He restored my faith in lawyers
After a couple very bad experiences with other lawyers my confidence in any of them was at almost zero. It felt like they pretty much abandoned me once I paid their fee. Robert Reiff, however, completely restored my confidence in lawyers and shows there are still professionals in the field who care about their clients.

The best attorney I've met. Professional and Diligent.
I wholeheartedly recommend Robert Reiff. I got a DUI and before hiring him I did my research to find the best attorney to represent me. Before getting to him, I went to see a couple of other attorneys and ask them key questions about my case. Although no attorney can predict the future or predict the outcome of your case, I believed him to be the best person to represent me because he is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his field. He is one of those few professionals that I can swear are passionate about what they do. I am incredibly grateful to Robert Reiff and I'll certainly recommend him. Thank you so much for everything!

Thank you Robert, you are amazing!
Robert is the best lawyer you could hire. He blew me away with his knowledge, professionalism, response time and effectiveness. He gets things done other can’t. I contacted 4 lawyers before connecting with Robert. All of them told me that it was not worth to fight back. Robert told me I was wrongly charged and he managed to turn this around with a few phone calls. Amazing. Thank you Robert.

Mr. Reiff gives 100% to win!
I was referred to Mr. Reiff who was described as the best attorney in the area of his specialty. After my first meeting with him I felt he can be trusted. Mr. Reiff won my case and left me amazed with how he thought through many details of the case while I observed him in the court room. He gave 100% to win my case and he did won! I highly, highly, and again highly recommend Robert Reiff.

Simply the best
Mr Reiff is by far the absolute best attorney we have ever dealt with. Takes the time to contact you personally as well as explaining each step in your case. Very well worth every penny you pay him. Mr Reiff genuinely cares about his clients and their families. Very articulate and well versed in motions and appeals to help mitigate your case. Do yourself a favor, if you ever find yourself needing legal services. Don’t gamble on your outcome or future. Bet it all on Mr Reiff you will not have any regrets.

I would recommend Dr
We don't know how to properly thank Mr. Reiff for what he did for us. He is truly professional, caring, and the top in his field. His preparation and communication are second to none. We definitely recommend Mr. Reiff and his assistant, Lidia.

This was my first legal issue ever and I did not know were to start and how to handle it. I was referred to (and met with) 3 very high ranked attorneys here before I met Robert. As soon as I met him It was clear that his experience, knowledge and expertise were superb. I immediately hired him and the results in the first week are already impressive! If you ever need a DUI attorney I can assure you that there is nobody better than Robert. Thank you so much for everything Bobby!!!!!

Outstanding from start to finish; could not have asked for a better advocate...
I was told that Robert Reiff was the gold standard for DUI defense, and that proved to be the case for me. He explained my circumstances and options clearly and concisely at the initial consultation. I was also reassured by his manner. Through the entire process, Mr. Reiff explained things in a manner a layperson can understand. He and Lidia, his assistant, kept me informed about each new development and explained the significance to me. During my one court appearance, I was impessed by his thorough preparation and attention to every detail. While no attorney can guarantee an outcome, I was very pleased with the resolution of my case and the professionalism that was exercised throughout. I can recommend him without reservation.

If you want the best, then look no more! Robert is your go to attorney.
Robert is tenacious, creative, technically outstanding, caring and quick on his feet, especially in the courtroom where seconds count. You will never feel alone or unguided during this difficult process of fighting DUI and other related charges. He is truly a remarkable man and a consummate professional.

He wrote the book
A good result is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Before hiring Mr. Reiff I consulted with 5 other attorneys. They said he was the man they would hire if they were in my shoes. His legacy truly precedes him in and out of the courtroom. My DUI and traffic infraction were dropped and case dismissed. He will leave no stone unturned. You can't put a value on that. Thank you.

The Best DUI Lawyer - Saved my life!!
Mr. Reiff Saved my life...that's the best way to put it. It was my 3rd DUI, with a suspended license and my second refusal to blow. Mr. Reiff thoroughly reviewed my history, and with the information obtained about my prior cases he succeeded in getting the second refusal dismissed, making it possible to get my license reinstated immediately. The DUI was reduced to a reckless driving charge and the suspended license case was adjudicated with no additional requirements to be met. Simply put, Bobby saved my life. I would recommend him to anyone, he's the most professional, thorough, and detailed attorney I ever met. Most importantly, he truly cares for his clients and will work hard to get the best outcome.

Robert Reiff is a truly exceptional lawyer
Just wanting everyone to know that Robert Reiff is not like most lawyers out there. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to speak with you. He is very professional and is always in contact giving the most up to date details of the case at hand. I had a 2nd dui offense and he was able to get it reduced in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend Mr. Reiff multiple times. I actually wish I had met him under different circumstances other than my DUI because he is a very friendly and approachable person.

Most Knowledgeable, Ethical and Professional Attorney Practicing DUI
Like the previous reviewer “Best DUI Lawyer in the country”, I could also testify that this is the BEST DUI attorney I have ever met. He is always prepared for meeting and most importantly always prepared for court. For example, he always allows me to meet with him before trial and is helpful. He will not brush you off like other attorneys have done to me in the past. He treats his clients with dignity and respect and helps them find solutions to this major problem in their lives. From the moment you walk into his office and you fill out all the paperwork you know that this attorney is asking the right questions in order to help you. He works harder than most that practice in the DUI area. The motions he files and the work he puts in to his cases is of the highest caliber. No attorney will ever guarantee the outcome of a trial but Bobby guarantees he will give it his best to get you the best outcome possible. He keeps his word about everything he will do in your case and follows up always. I am happy to have an outstanding, hard working and ethical professional on my side of the bench representing me. He EARNS every penny you pay him and that is a very satisfying feeling for a client. If you have a DUI (which I hope is never), go see him in action in the courtroom, he is aggressive and his is prepared to express his knowledge about the law. His book is a great read; however it is intended for people in the legal profession.

Best DUI lawyer in the country
Hyperbole aside, Bobby Reiff is the BEST DUI attorney in the state, if not the country. You would be hard pressed to find a better prepared lawyer in any courtroom. Since retaining Bobby to represent me, I haven't looked back. He never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge of the law and preparation for trial. No lawyer wins all their cases, but Bobby Reiff will ALWAYS be the most prepared lawyer in the room. My only regret is that I had to meet Bobby through an unfortunate turn of events that led me to his doorstep. Recently, he represented me in a case in which I was badly injured and charged with DUI. I visited with numerous attorneys all with impressive resumes and even more impressive pitches. He never promised he would get the case thrown out. He did promise two things: 1) No lawyer would outwork him and 2) No stone would be left unturned in search of the truth. He has made good on those promises and I am all the more confident than ever that I made the right choice when I retained him.
