This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Positive recommendation for Bob Linton

I am an Indiana resident who needed to approach a medical malpractice attorney in regards to a potential case for my mother who is an Ohio resident. My company's corporate attorney recommended the Linton Law Firm and I am so grateful he did as Bob and his staff were exemplary in guiding, educating, a...nd directing me to the steps that were necessary in order to proceed to litigation against a hospital and rehab facility that mistreated and harmed my mother. In six months time Bob spent hours with me on conference calls and his assistant Robin worked tirelessly with me in obtaining and documenting medical records all at no cost to my family. His insight was invaluable and I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking to hire a dedicated, personable, above board attorney who truly has compassion for individuals who have suffered for unnecessary reasons.

ATTORNEY, CONFIDANT, FRIEND

I highly recommend Mr. Robert Linton to anyone in need of an outstanding, top-rated attorney. Robert Linton--Bob--as I and my family came to address him, soon became "like family" to us. I confirm that Bob is a kind (and one-of-a kind), empathetic, honest attorney who dedicates not only himself, hi...s team and legal assistant Robin, and all his resources to his client, but his passion for his craft. Bob was totally invested in championing my case for justice and fair compensation, following an automotive crash, which caused me injury. Pre-existing medical conditions complicated my case, ones which I previously were able to balance and manage, now worsened, changing the trajectory of my life, robbing me of participating in those activities which I previously, fully enjoyed with my family. Bob skillfully navigated the flawed legal system, to right the wrong carelessly committed against me, by a negligent driver. Owing to Bob's solid character and resolve, he continually reaffirmed my confidence in his legal guidance throughout the legal proceedings. Mr. Robert Linton--Bob--is truly a "real lawyer for real people." I, and my entire family, will forever be grateful to him for advocating justice for me. thank you Bob Linton.

An Exceptional Attorney

Mr. Linton is an exceptional attorney. We sought his counsel and expertise when we were consumed with grief and the overwhelming circumstances that led to the loss of an amazing husband, father, physician and humanitarian. Mr. Linton met with us to discuss our situation. His calm demeanor, com...passion and respect for our loss, provided our family great solace and confidence, enabling us to entrust him with our journey and our desire to seek a just resolution. Mr. Linton skillfully listened as we shared the painful details of our loss. With understanding and patience, Mr. Linton was able to sort through our grief and focus on the relevant issues that gave our case its merits. He continuously advised us on the status of our case and carefully explained the process as we moved forward. He interviewed witnesses, took the testimonies of experts and diligently researched the circumstances that surrounded our case. But above all he made it his mission to come to know the person we lost through our stories and the stories of the people whose lives were touched and forever impacted. Mr. Linton's skillful navigation of the intricacies of our case paired with his vast knowledge and experience, resulted in a just and rightful conclusion. Mr. Linton is a kind, principled, generous and spirited advocate for those in need of expert counsel. We are forever blessed in knowing him and forever grateful to him.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Bob Linton for many years, and recently working with him on a very difficult liability case, which ended in a very successful jury verdict. I can say without reserve that Bob Linton is the finest trial lawyer I have seen in my 25 years of practice. A pro's pro, to say the least."

"Bob is one of the finest trial lawyers I've ever met. He is already incredibly well respected within his community because of his abilities, his compassion and his depth of knowledge. However, Bob is also an incredible person and once you meet him, you understand why he's so wonderful at person injury cases. Helping people comes innately to him, and he truly cares for his clients. Add on to this the fact he was willing to leave his family for a month to attend the elite Trial Lawyers College to master his skills as a trial attorney, and you won't find a better attorney. Not many people are willing to take the time away from their lives to be the best they can be at their job, but Bob did. I would never hesitate to send my friends or family to Bob, I know they would be in the best hands."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Bob Linton is widely known as one of Ohio's premier plaintiff's trial attorneys. I have had the pleasure of knowing Bob and following for many years his outstanding results on behalf of his clients in the areas of medical malpractice and industrial accidents. Bob thoroughly prepares every case and dedicates himself to more than not only the client, but to the client's cause and the purpose of "righting wrongs". Bob's stellar reputation in the legal community has been built on total dedication to the client and the cause, and his record of substantially large jury verdicts and settlements results from that dedication and work ethic. I endorse Bob Linton to any client or attorney seeking to engage him on a litigation matter. You will not find a more dedicated, skilled, caring attorney to take your case."
