EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!

Robert has assisted me with both personal legal needs as well as legal issues that have arisen in my business and I highly recommend him. Robert has always been honest and helpful in every way. My calls and e-mails to him have always been returned promptly and I remain impressed with his professiona...lism. When my business has found its itself involved with litigation, Robert was a tough advocate and achieved successful results for me every time. I would use no other attorney and recommend Robert to anyone who has a legal issue. Highly recommended attorney!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY!

During the time this attorney represented me, he made commitments he could not fulfill, did not represent me to the fullest extent possible, kept vital information to himself until the very last minute which prevented me from making the best decision possible, was only concerned about his fee and not... his clients defense, lied to me continuousy, would not return my numerous calls-texts-emils, and used his relatives as an excuse not to do his job. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY -- HIRE A COMPETENT, PROFESSIONAL, AND HONEST ATTORNEY!

DON'T HIRE HIM

He was filing my appeal for my disability. He never filed it. Never returned phone calls or kept an appointment. Always had a personal crisis to cancel the appointment. He has wasted a year of my time and now I will have to refile and find a "REAL" attorney!!! DO NOT HIRE HIM!! You will be the one wh...o loses in your case. Get someone who will fight for you.

Took our money and disappeared. Continued to cancel appointments, reschedule and then cancel again. His location changed three times in six months, and his numbers as well. He never provided any accounting of his time and never provided any refund. He fails to respond at all.

  • 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.
