BEST CRIMINAL ATTORNEY

Rob was so excellent!! He isn’t the typical attorney, this man went over and beyond. I loved how reassuring he was towards me when I was in stressful state for my partner. He was great at communicating with me, straight to the point. If I had ANY questions , he responded. He always kept me updated. ...This is the only attorney that I have ever felt 100% confident in that he was going to fight for my partner who was wrongly done to get the absolute best outcome. He sure as heck did! I am forever grateful & strongly recommend him for anyone facing criminal charges. If I could give him 10 stars I would. If anyone needs someone to fight for them, fight for their freedom…GET ROB!

Couldn't have wished for better representation!!

Bob and his team at CGS law group did an incredible job representing me and my case in New Castle. I live out of state, and Bob's team kept me informed and up to date with my court dates. He also proper conveyed my disposition to the prosecutors. I would definitely recommend Bob from CGS law group to... someone looking for able representation!!

Awesome Criminal Defense

Bob knew my case inside and out. He took the time to learn the facts and fought for me in court. He is by far one of the best criminal defense attorneys that I have ever had.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
