Robert Gray Sr. rney

I was suffering from physical disability as well as some mental after falling off a 2 1/2 story brick building on 3rd St., downtown Wausau. I'd fractured 3 spinal vertabrea, a cracked hip, broken fingers, temporary memory problems and was bed-ridden, costing me my employment and leaving me in extrem...e pain just trying to get out of bed to use the bathroom. A neighbor of mine, also a great friend, referred me to Robert Gray since his firm had a great reputation and great record of winning cases like mine (applying for SSI since I couldn't perform standard job duties any longer). Meeting with attorney Gray was truly a blessing. He listened to me, gaining every detail pertaining to my accident, asked what my concerns were, what outcome I was seeking, just overall was an amazingly understanding man who didn't make me feel like I was expecting too much from the whole ordeal. As his last case, I'm extremely happy with what he did for me and highly recommend his firm to those in need of assistance gaining their SSI.

Consulted with Robert gray

I found Mr Robert Gray's profile browsing through this website and by reading the reviews i just had to call. I was able to connect with him after a brief hold which never usually happens at attorneys offices without having to get a call back but I was able to speak with him regarding a case that's ...ongoing that I already have an attorney for but was concerned about possible negligence in the case. Mr Gray is very easy to talk with a very caring demeanor and doesn't make you feel rushed or like your questions are dumb like a lot of other attorneys. He made me feel more at ease about my case and what I should do going forward in 10 minutes than my current attorney has in a year of dealing with him. My only regret is that I didn't contact him sooner, and anyone who is able to retain his services won't be disappointed he really cares about the client not quick fixes. Thanks a lot for your time Robert.

Satisfied SSDI Client

It took awhile, but I am now receiving SSDI. Rob took the time to meet with me in person before agreeing to take my case. On our initial face-to-face meeting, he listened to everything I had to say and informed me about the process and gave me valuable advice, such as getting a hearing test and... going to DVR to try to find work that would accommodate someone with my condition. Being proactive is probably helpful. Every few months he checked-in with me to see if there was any changes or progress in my condition. Eventually I received SSDI. I am grateful for Rob's help.

Great Experience!

It's been a great experience to have Mr. Grey representing me in my workers comp case. I like how assuring and thorough Mr. Grey is in answering all my questions. I couldn't ask for a more genuine person to work with! He's the best there is!

Worker's Compensation

Rob Gray has been our lawyer for a worker's compensation case for about a year. We are a couple months away from our court hearing, so we do not know the final result. He is very knowledgeable about some very complex medical problems and good at scheduling meetings to keep us informed of any progre...ss that is made.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
