Robert S. Menders

Mr. Menders did not do a complete discovery after multiple times he was asked to. Mr. Menders insured me this is right and I was naïve to believe him. When they say mom knows best they are right because my mom told me to fire him because I was doing all his work for him and he was not listening to ...me. I wished I would have listened because this divorce cost me over $40,000 plus the assets that would have been uncovered. Be careful as to Mr. Menders does not carry malpractice insurance. This below is what the judge had to say during court after Mr. Menders referred me to another attorney after he took more of my money. The other attorney did the discoveries of the hidden assets that Mr. Menders assured me did not exist. THE COURT:Once a g a i n , t h e.

Robert accommodated us. We needed a second opinion and he was right there for us with some great advice. He really does know the ins and outs with divorce. He makes you feel that he understands and will definitely fight for you. It's a difficult time as it is, but it's nice to know that someone as ...knowledgeable as Robert is, is ready to fight for you. We are highly considering changing lawyers.

There should be a 0 star rating. Stay away from this lawyer! Menders is loud, obnoxious, and pompous. He is completely unprofessional and disrespectful, not to mention his work ethic is horrendous. He prides himself on being deliberate and thorough, it is anything but. His work is so sloppy, that wh...en I confronted him on his many mistakes, he raised his voice to me, slammed his hands on his desk and threatened to increase his lawyer fees on my bill! He also threatened to withdraw my complaint and said I could find a new lawyer to start all over with. Internally I was furious, but bit my tongue. He needs to retire ASAP!

Mr. Menders was amazing and was able to handle my divorce in a timely manner. I was able to get a consultation the same week, given a run down on what the divorce process would look like and etc. He’s also VERY supportive and knowledgeable. He ensures that he gets back to you soon. I thought getting ...a divorce would be a long, drawn out process, but with Mr. Menders, I didn’t have to stress about anything. It was great working with you. Thank you so much for all of your help!

Robert Menders and his legal assistant Hailey, are a pleasure to work with. I had a rather odd divorce case that he assisted me with earlier this year. He was a wonderful help! I also reached out for legal advice a few months after my first case and he was ready to help me again. I'd suggest him to a...nyone looking for an attorney in a divorce case because he has YOUR best interest in mind and supports YOU. As I mentioned, my case was odd, but he went above and beyond his job requirements as my attorney to help me and offered great advice. He is very responsive and on top of everything he says he will do for you. I greatly respect him and Hailey. I wish them both the best.
