Thank you Robert.

Robert is an excellent attorney. I was charged with six drug charges, all felonies. He was able to get me a plea deal for a deferred sentence of two years unsupervised probation. Thanks again Bob.

Great Attorney

I never thought I would have to hire an attorney. While anxiously searching to find one, I came across Bolinske Law Firm & I had a feeling that it was the right place to go. Bob Bolinske is friendly and understanding. From the minute he shook my hand, he treated me as a good person and not a crimi...nal. I had made a huge mess with my behavior & I have some mental health/ psychological issues. I was embarrassed to say the least, but he didn't judge me at all. I thought everything was going my way, but suddenly the state turned everything around & they wanted jail & a few other things. Bob did a wonderful job defending me. He didn't want to make me look like the victim, but he understood me. Unfortunately my case didn't fully go my way, but he requested a couple more hearings to give it another try. Bob had it covered until the very end. His office called me back promptly & he traveled to my city as well. I would recommend him. I was grateful for his professionalism. I'm glad I spent my money elsewhere...thank you!!

My experience with Robert

Robert is a great lawyer, not only professional and bright but kind and very willing to listen to my concerns. He is knowledgeable and cares about human beings. He is not judgmental; he considers all the possible angles on a case.

The Best in Crimal Defense

Most people hope to never need a criminal lawyer and I was no different. However, if or when you do need one, you want that person to have your best interests at heart. Bob has fit the bill both times I had to utilize his services. He was always very attentive, empathetic, available, professional and... proactive when it came to my cases. Bob also has a very clear understanding of the law. I know that seems fairly obvious, but there are some lawyers that don't even come close to Bob's knowledge. I cannot thank Bob enough for all the work he has put into my cases. He is the only guy I would ever go to for legal help and I have personally referred others to him.

  • 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.
