About Robert
Biography
I have been practicing law for about 30 years. I have found that my clients want an attorney that is not only competent and aggressive, but one that will listen to them. I spend as much time with my clients as they want and need. The last thing I say to anyone that meets with me is "if you ever have any questions, please call me any time". I believe that communication is critical when dealing with a serious criminal matter. I always keep my clients informed about their case.
I understand that your case is often times the most serious matter that you have ever dealt with in your life. I make sure that you have a strong advocate that treats your case the way you would expect. My clients always know that I will do everything I can to help you.
