Bad attorney

Rob is a terrible attorney I'd advise anyone to bypass him and find someone better rob doesn't care about you or your legal matters all he wants is your money and not to actually do anything for you rob also ripped me off 411 dollars and says he performed work which I have yet too see please neve...r retain rob unless you just like throwing money away 3193401734 is my number if you have any questions pertaining to robs terrible work he did for me as well as stealing from me

Excellent in Unemployment Law

I contacted Robert for representation on an unemployment case. Throughout the entire process I found him to be knowledgeable of unemployment law, and able to answer all my questions and concerns. I would recommend him to anyone going through the process and in need of help.

Ssd

I contacted Robert in 2016 to help me appeal my SSD claim. He came recommended from a neighbor and sounded like he would care at first. I have been following up with him for the past two years, to no avail. He is super slow to return my messages, if he does at all ,whether they be emails or calls. Wh...en he finally called me the other day, after three weeks had gone by, he blatently lied to me. I took it upon myself to "double check" Robert's claims that he was "working on it" - and called SSD and found out that after his name was added to my "file"" at SSA admin. That not a thing had been done on his part to help me. SSA said that NO activity had been done on his part!! None! So basically I've spent the last two years trusting his word that he was "ON It", what a bunch of BS. My faith in attorneys is blown, this man needs to be disbarred if this is his "way" of helping people such as myself. Now, I'm told that I need to start all over again.

great social security disability attorney

I have had difficulty getting representation on my social security disability matter for years. Mr. Engler agreed to represent me and was very nice to work with. He fought hard to help me. I finally was able to get my benefits. He has an awesome staff and I was able to talk to him anytime I had q...uestions.
