Robert E Forrest

We hired Mr. Forrest to represent us against the IRS. A few days prior to the trial, he informed us he was seeking a top position with the Department of Justice (IRS Division). We felt he completely failed to represent us, beginning with not choosing impartial jurors. Mr. Forrest failed to call se...veral expert witnesses we had provided for him, including another attorney that stated that our case was entrapment and could have proven it. Mr. Forrest informed us, he had forgotten to add these professionals to the witness list. We have since found out that the witness list is able to be amended. One of the defendants wanted to take the stand on her own behalf and Mr. Forrest closed the case before she was given that opportunity. He also was verbally abusive to myself and my wife after the trial was over. I DO NOT recommend hiring this gentleman under any circumstances.
