Robert M. Mihelich: Your Trusted Defamation Expert and Advocate for the Working Person

I was represented by Robert M. Mihelich in a defamation case, and I can confidently say he's a true professional attorney who genuinely stands up for the working man or woman. In a world where legal representation can feel distant and elitist, Robert brings a down-to-earth approach that makes you fee...l supported every step of the way. What truly sets him apart are his exceptional analytical skills, deeply grounded in legal precedent. He doesn't just skim the surface—he dives into the details with precision and insight that turned the tide in my case. Particularly versed in defamation and libel law, Robert's expertise in these areas was invaluable; he navigated the complexities with ease, ensuring every argument was backed by solid, irrefutable evidence. As the saying goes, the only good lawyer is the one you need—and Robert proved to be exactly that. He's second to none in his dedication, responsiveness, and ability to deliver results. If you're facing any legal hurdles, do yourself a favor and add Robert to your address book. You won't regret it! Highly recommended.

Excellent, realistic advice

Bob reviewed the facts of the case and provided advice on what could be expected. He counselled for realistic expectations rather than maximizing his income.

Posted by Chuck | February 18, 2015 | Wrongful Termination

Violation of the American's with Disabilities Act - Mental Health

My case is one of wrongful termination by my employer of 25 years. I have a mental disability and was terminated because symptoms of my disability manifested at work. My employer was aware of my disability but still chose to fire me. Attorney Mihelich took my case and was extremely professional, supp...ortive and helped me understand the law regarding my case. His years of experience showed in the way he communicated about my case. He worked hard on my case and I won. My employer appealed and I won again. Attorney Mihelich kept me informed along the way and always told me what to expect next. From the beginning Attorney Mihelich made me feel comfortable about my case and assured me that I was the one who had been wronged. He told me I had a case and that I had an ally in him who would protect me and help me. When I had questions and called him I would get a response within 24 hours. Either he or someone from his office would contact me with an answer. The Judges decision gave me lost wages and made sure my employer offered me my job back. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a Labor Law Attorney. I already have recommended him to two of my friends. He was great to work with.

great Employment Attorney

I appreciated Bob's frank advice, his depth of knowledge and his practical approach to getting the best outcome for our company. He responds quickly, is down to earth and is a good listener. I would definitely ask him for help again if the need arises.

Very perceptive

Bob was very perceptive and knowledgeable in responding to a former employer's threatening letter recently. He was able to sort out the facts from a very complicated employment history, as well as , determining legalities of some of there claims. With a couple of responses and a conference call I fee...l confident the accusations have been dropped. Highly recommended.
