About Robert
Biography
I have battled to be the best. The best at my job, the best for my wife, the best for my child, and the best for my God. I have always reached my goals, even when faced with great adversity. I have learned the extreme difference between failing at something, which regretfully visits all of us, and being a failure, which one must actively choose to be. So long as we can learn from our mistakes our glasses should always be at least half full. It's not about your house, your car, your boat, your things; it's about your family, your attitude, your spirit, your joy of life. Living with the ups and through the downs is a path we all travel. I still battle to be the best. I will not be judged on how many times it fail, instead the masses will come to judge me in the number of times I've succeeded. What I have learned, the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I've failed, picked up the pieces, and continued on!

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.
