About Robert
Biography
After graduating from Case Western Reserve University with a degree in Psychology, I spent a year performing stand-up comedy. After successfully defending myself against a speeding ticket, I decided to go to law school at The Ohio State University College of Law. In 1992, when I still didn't have my own late night talk show, I dedicated myself to my legal career.
Since then I have represented thousands of clients in nearly every aspect of law. I take a personal and sincere interest in every case I handle and I strive to provide quality service at affordable fees.
I provide a free no-obligation in office initial consultation. Call today to let my 30 years of experience work for you.
We help people! I take a personal and sincere interest in every case I handle.
