Waste of time and a lot of money.

Promised everything, received nothing. Acted like a real tough guy, but delivered nothing and settled in the end. We got nothing out of this and were drug through the system while continously racking up the bill.

It is always difficult to respond to an anonymous posting. I can say that I urge clients to communicate with me about any issues or concerns that they may have. The fact that this person claims that I "promised everything" shows that the review is not accurate. I never promise anything to my clients because family law is never a sure thing. I can tell them what is likely to occur in a situation based upon my 22 years of experience, but I always make it very clear that there are no guarantees in family law. Many cases do settle, but I have always been and always will be a strong advocate for my clients and would only settle if it was in my client's best interests. I would urge this person to provide more information so I can properly respond and contact me with their concerns so I can property address them.

Very Good at Family Law

Robert guided us through the custody process in a straight forward manner and got us every thing that we asked for. He has a very easygoing appearance at first - but is a pit bull when it goes to court. He is the best guy to have on your side in the courtroom.

Extremely effective litigator

Bob is a no nonsense family law atty. He is respected in the courtroom by both the judge and opposing counsel. My ex-wife tried everything she could to create problems through my divorce. Bob knew exactly how to handle each situation, which ones to address and which ones to ignore and in all cases... he knew how to win in court. I literally won EVERY challenge that came before the judge because of how Bob was able to work on his feet. She went through three attorneys and Bob made a mockery of all three of them in the courtroom. He never advised me to fight a battle that would simply drive up my bill and on many occasions he said "I'll fight this out for you but it won't matter in the end and will cost you a lot of money". When going through a messy divorce it can be hard to make those kinds of decisions on your own and a lawyer who focuses only on money can easily lead you into a fortune in legal bills. If you are looking to make trouble in the courtroom or are looking to try to get something that is unattainable Bob is not your guy. If you are looking for an attorney who has all of the skills you need to win what matters and has the connections to the right evaluators and experts Bob is absolutely the one. He has since handled many business and personal matters for me as well.

The comments posted by Dan are not accurate and reflect his frustration at the results of his case, which were caused by his actions. I have never left anyone waiting at my office for hours and as can be seen by the other reviews, I am extremely competent in Court.

Made a hard time easier.

He gets the job done at a very fair price. You don't pay for fluff, only what you need. I was kept informed and things were taken care of in a timely manner. He makes the high dollar guys look stupid. Would use him again, but hope I never have to.
