Jeri Evans, President/CEO Solutions Pharmacy, Inc.

I have used Bob Lype as our corporate attorney for employee issues and updates on Human Resource Laws for a number of years. He has been very helpful, is courteous, and returns my phone calls and emails promptly. I feel his advise has kept me out of court. He has done an excellent job in giving my st...aff up to date training on important work related topics. I highly recommend, Bob Lype, as an attorney. Not only is he knowledgeable, he has a lot of integrity and connects easily to people.

Expertise!

Straightforward, informative, and most of all Honest. He has helped our company see the legal picture of employee relationships, among other issues. His attentiveness to our needs is exceptional. His character, above reproach. We recommend Mr Lype to anyone seeking an honest and attentive lawyer.

Attention to Detail, Responsive, and Practical

I first met Bob when he represented my company during an EPLI claim and quickly determined that he would be our attorney of choice moving forward. Since that time Bob has provided sound, practical counsel ranging from the collection of delinquent accounts to the training of managers regarding employ...ment practices and everything in between. Bob is very responsive and I trust him and that is why I don’t consider any other options when we have the need for any type of legal counsel. I give him the highest marks and recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Avvo Rating

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.
