Very Informative and Organized

Mr. Robert Ambrose worked great in handling my case. Not only did he accommodate me and my family with a payment plan. He listen took great notes and gave me good advise on what strategy would be used in dealing with my issues. One of the best things I can say about Mr. Ambrose is he made me feel... comfortable with no judgment. If you are looking for someone who can understand and listen to what you are saying and not talking over you Mr. Ambrose is the guy. I will be keeping his card to seek out his services in the future and would not hesitate to refer him to a friend. Godspeed

The right choice!!

I could not be more pleased with the way Bob Ambrose handled our case and its favorable outcome!! He was knowledgeable, professional, and excels at navigating the legal system while defending his clients. Bob was very comforting to our family and he took the time to help our family understand and ...explain all of our options throughout the legal proceedings. He was ALWAYS available for us as we had many conversations in the evening and on weekends throughout the case. I would highly recommend Bob Ambrose for you legal needs as it was the best choice we made for our family during those difficult times. Thanks Bob!!!

A life saver.

Bob was there for me every step of the way during what was undoubtedly the most terrifying and confusing time of my life. I made the right decision in choosing Bob as my lawyer. He went above and beyond in getting the issue resolved. He's an excellent lawyer and I would highly recommend him.

Mr Ambrose

I don't have many experiences with lawyers and Mr Ambrose was the first one that I had to deal for my father case. From my experience with him he is a very understanding man I felt comfortable working with him. I think he is very good at what he does. He've been there anytime I needed him case relat...ed.

Help When It Was Needed Most

Bob was invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. It was Memorial Day weekend and I was out listening to a friend’s band and drinking a few beers, I was pulled over on my way home, and arrested for DUI. I had no idea what I needed to do in this situation, all I knew is that I needed help. I ...was dealing with the overwhelming emotions involved in knowing my life would never be the same. Bob walked me through the process and made it easier. He answered my questions, no matter how trivial (even on the weekend!). He took time to listen and help me through all the paperwork and court appearances. It was nice knowing that if I had a question he either had the answer, or would help me find it. Thanks to Bob’s negotiating skills my sentence was reduced and I was able to remove the ignition lock six months early. Thank you, Bob!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
