service with out cash out
My legal relationship did not start with Robert Gambrell. I retained another attorney for my chapter 13 bankruptcy. That attorney due to health issues stopped practicing law. My case, as well as the bulk of that attorneys case load, was turned over to Robert Gambrell and his office. By this point my attorney received all of his money. Robert was receiving no money from me or the court on my behalf. So when when I needed Robert Gambrell and his office to help resolve legal issues regarding the bankruptcy court I was amazed to find that his service not only exceeded my expectations, (that were low, based on the situation, he was not getting paid), but I have to rank it among best service I have received anywhere in any industry. Robert himself returned calls and text quickly and efficiently. He was prepared every time we spoke. His staff is superb and followed his example of stellar customer service. I wish the attorney that I paid in the begin had been that efficient. I personally believe if more attorneys were like Robert Gambrell there would not be punch line jokes about attorneys. I hope his is an example that changes the industry for the better. Sincerely, Don

Best Advisor
Robert understood my bankruptcy questions and wrote clear and direct advice in a response in a manner that I felt I was in his office. It's quite apparent that he's being practicing law for 38 years. Robert is the attorney you would want on your side for you and your family.

Honest and hard working attorney
I hired Robert Gambrell to represent me in a bankruptcy and I could tell right away that I had found an attorney that would make the process go smoothly. His office was always available to answer my questions and they made sure to call me back quickly whenever I called. I would recommend him to anyone, especially since he has so many years of experience and a wonderful staff.

"I endorse Robert W. Gambrell with great pleasure. Robert is brilliant & compassionate. Bankruptcy is extremely complex; it is not a matter of simply filling out forms. And very significantly, all bankruptcy lawyers are NOT the same and it is critical for any client to get the most experienced lawyer to ensure a successful bankruptcy and discharge of debts. The best bankruptcy attorney is one who (a) understands the Bankruptcy Code, (b) understands Congressional intent underlying the Bankruptcy Code, (c) has years of practice & is respected by the bankruptcy trustees; (d) patiently listens & understands the client's personal circumstances, (e) analyzes client facts and then suggests and implements a strategy for such client's success ; (f) makes sure that such client feels secure; and g) is trustworthy and a nice human being who is enthusiastic Robert Gambrell is all of that and more. Thank you Robert Gambrell for being the most amazing bankruptcy lawyer Best Barbie D. Lieber"
