The kind of lawyer you want in your corner

Mr. Motta helped us with a very contentious family matter where we were at a disadvantage and were losing hope we would be able to get what was rightfully ours. Through creativity, hard work and tough negotiating, Mr. Motta got us a settlement that was beyond our expectations.

Doesnt reply/No interest shown on case

Very knowledgeable but there is no communication whatesoever. Only answers when he wants and doesnt return phone calls. Every court date he seemed to be lost to what was going on since there was no communication with others in firm. No interest noted on my case since he didnt return phone calls after... stressful court dates. I understand the firm is busy but keeping current customers in mind would be great. Glad case is over and Will not hire again.

A scrapper

Bob was very patient yet aware of when to fight and when to back off to keep the Judge's favor. The only problem I had was some communication issues which require the client to maintain. Bob was always available however via text and did a great job.

Replied last February 10, 2016

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. I do apologize if there was any lack of communication. We are working to make sure that isn't an issue in the future.

Excellent attorney

Bob was very skilled at his job. He was well informed on the laws and how to handle the situation. He is very down to earth and does not talk to clients like they are below him, but treats us as equals.
