There are better out there

I consulted with Kramer once on the phone and once in person. Both were unscheduled. He appeared to be generous with his time. After the in person consult, I sent him via email a proposed letter for review and further discussion as to whether it could be used in my situation. Kramer explained he woul...d be on trial for the next few days, and then on vacation.This was on 1/13/26. He said he would call me when he returned. Several weeks went by with no contact back. I then sent him another email reminder of my visit and asking for a “ next steps” update. Again, several weeks went by without a response from Kramer. So I called his office. He supposedly wasn’t there but I spoke to one of his assistants. I explained the situation, and asked for some kind of response either way, further explaining that there would be no hard feelings if Kramer decided he didn’t want to work with me. Again, no response and it is March 2,2026 that I’m writing this. Kramer’s lack of response and ghosting is highly unprofessional and may violate certain ethical standards and rules. I also am a practicing lawyer for 38 years and in all that time I have never left a potential client hanging in the lurch and ghosted. His lack of responsiveness caused me stress and added delay in attending to my matter. I’ve been around long enough and have represented enough people to have seen and heard about just about every way other lawyers reject a case without telling the truth about why. But the absolute cut-you-off-leave-you-in-the-lurch -until -you-realize-you’ve-been-ditched routine is relatively rare and probably one of the coldest. I would avoid this guy - Maybe my case was too hard for him. Maybe too much work. Who knows. But my money is as green as anyone’s . Clients deserve to know where they stand at all times. Whether they’re still in the consultation stage or beyond. I hadn’t paid him anything but he didn’t ask for any payment. That clearly says that he never intended to take my case. He told me to send him the proposed paperwork for his review. I should’ve known that when he never asked for any money before starting work, he was not serious. Avoid Kramer for the reasons I’ve stated. If he isn’t forthcoming about whether or not he will represent you and will leave you hanging until you “ die on the vine,” you have to wonder in what other ways will he act unprofessionally….

Bob Kramer is the BEST.

Bob, has been my attorney since he opened his office he has helped me and so many of my clients and friends who always go back to him because, he is not one to take a case if he thinks you need someone who specializes in the problem you have,he will give you names of Attorney's that do specialize i...n that . He always goes that extra mile for me and my clients, to make it convenient, and always has done a great job. I have been able to call him after hours if an emergency comes up where I need a legal question answered , I and my clients have and always will use Bob Kramer, he is the best.

Robert Kramer is the only attorney I'll ever need.

Robert is a true professional. He was very thorough and gathered all the facts in my case and went over all the aspects of it and all the possible outcomes, responses and scenerios that could transpire. When Robert represented me for my case, he was very straightforward and firm yet cordial with th...e judge. I feel that coupled with his vast knowledge of law, helped him win my case. Robert has a great personality and was very approachable, easy to talk to and to work with. I could tell he really cared about me and that he was very passionate about doing everything in his power to come out of the case a victor. His rates are reasonable I will definitely hire him again as needs arise. I have friends and family members that have and continue to use Robert's attorney services. I also refer people to him on a regular basis, due to my high level of satisfaction. His office is conveniently located in Plainfield and was very easy to find. Robert quickly responded to all my emails, faxes and phone calls in a prompt and timely manner. I fully endorse Robert Kramer for who he is and all the services he provides. He exceeded my expectations I hold him in highest regard and I think you will too. A+ and Five Stars!

Pleasure to work with!

Robert F Kramer handled the closing of my homes. Outside of our control, there were a few issues, but Robert was able to quickly work things out for me and my family. I will be using and recommending Robert in the future for all my legal needs.
