Great Lawyer

Robert has been amazing to have representing me during this custody battle. He knows what steps to take and what to argue. I have yet to be anything short of 100% satisfied. My children are everything to me and I wouldn't want just anyone fighting for us. Robert has and continues to keep my children ...and I's best interest his number 1 priority.

Honorable, Honest, & No Nonsense!

I was referred to Robert by a family friend who said he was an honorable and honest lawyer who was a great mediator but who got tough when getting tough was needed...I think you can imagine my skepticism right? But when I met him, I was truly lost, confused, and felt like the world was collapsing in... on me and Robert said something that stuck with me through the whole process and is still with me today. He said, "This may not be easy and it may take time but it will get done, the sun will rise tomorrow and you will be able to move on with your life. When you hire me, you take care of the money and leave the rest to me." So I did and he did and sometimes it was hard when my husband was being a jerk and it felt like it took forever because of the stupid mandatory waiting periods but I am divorced now and the sun still rises and I have custody of my son and I got to stay in my home and my son and I get support and he gets to see his dad and slowly but surely we are all moving on with our lives and I know that Robert got me the best deal that I could have gotten and more than I thought and I'm so grateful and I will recommend him a hundred times over to anyone who really needs a good lawyer because there are so many crappy lawyers out there. I never really understood why they called lawyers counselors until I met Robert, but knowing him makes it all make more sense.
