Highly recommend

Attorney Robert Black did an outstanding job representing me in Juvenile court. He put a lot of time and effort in preparation for my case as well as arguing my case in court. One of the best .

Excellent Lawyer

Takes time to explain the situation, and is honest about potential outcomes. Was not condescending at all.

Great lawyer

Very good lawyer. Takes time to listen to your case. Very aggressive! Grass won’t grow under his feet, that’s for sure. Would highly recommend Mr. Black.

Excellent lawyer, excellent service, excellent communication

We hired Robert for a motor vehicle accident claim. My wife was hit head on, wasn't at fault, ended up spending 5 days in the hospital and 5 days in a rehab facility. His first concern was always how my wife was doing and her recovery. He guided us through the process and provided service with our be...st interest, not his. He always presented with the options and possible outcomes from the decisions we would be making. The person that hit us was under-insured and helped us with utilizing our under insured policy.

Overpriced door mat...

After a long custody battle, we still did not change anything. Mr. Black did not fight hard enough nor did he even try to produce any evidence that we had gathered. He let the opposing lawyer and defendant lie and commit perjury. In the end we were left broken and broke. His rates are outrageous and ...charges his clients for every tiny thing (over $6000 for nothing). He wouldn't even stay after court to speak to us, because he needed to pick up his child; not professional considering we were fighting for child custody. We would not recommend him for custody matters, especially high conflict ones.

We're sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. This matter does not sound familiar, and we strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. Although our records do not show a payment history associated with your time period and type of case, I am always willing to discuss fees and expenses with anyone who disputes an invoice received from my office. Please contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns.

"I endorse Robert Black in criminal defense matters. I have worked with Robert in several criminal defense matters over the years when I was a prosecutor and he was a defense attorney.

  • 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.
