Robert Allen Shipley's Lawyer Endorsements
"One of my clients had a complex insurance matter come up in the Northern District of Illinois. I am a criminal defense attorney, and couldn't help with that sort of thing because I don't have the experience or knowledge. I found Robert on Avvo and reached out. He answered his own phone, listened as I outlined the situation, and really helped me out. My clients ultimately didn't retain him (not due to him or anything he did, it just didn't work out), which saddened me, but it is what it is. Robert's knowledge and experience are considerable, but it's his sincerity and compassion, and his willingness to always help, that really impressed me. I am happy to be able to recommend him to my clients that have matters related to his area of expertise. Great attorney and a great guy!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"This lawyer is a person of excellence and integrity. I endorse this lawyer."
"The time a lawyer spends giving back through sites like this show passion for the law and compassion for people. Kudos to you for helping others with sage advice."
"I endorse this lawyer. An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I highly endorse this lawyer. I met Mr. Shipley about ten years ago on several cases. We both were retained to represent different co-defendants in some very complex construction mold cases. I have been involved in complex litigation my entire career and have litigated against some of the finest and brightest lawyers in Chicago. Mr. Shipley is in that class of lawyers."
"An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community, I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of his clients and getting them the most favorable result possible."
