Thank you for your skilled response.

We hired Rob Robertson to handle some City of Chicago fines on property that our church holds. Attorney Robertson successfully resolved the issues, kept us informed of the progress, and offered to inspect land records to insure that some of the issues would not be repeated.

Great lawyer, great guy

I made the biggest mistake of my life one night and was pretty sure that I had destroyed my career and my life. I called Rob on the recommendation of a friend and he immediately talked me off the ledge, showing care and compassion that an idiot like me did not deserve.. Once the proceedings started..., Rob was as effective as could be imagined with regard to handling the case but more importantly he kept me fully informed about what was going on. He not only knows the law, he knows people and he knows how judges think. He framed my case to the court in such a way that I ended up getting supervision when I deserved much worse. In the end, Rob saved my butt with his great skill, I was truly lucky to hire him as my attorney.

Excellent attorney

I had a relatively serious traffic matter. Rob Robertson handled my case efficiently and successfully. I hope to never have to use another attorney, but if I do, Rob would be my first choice.

doesn't get any better

I'm a little embarrassed ,but its necessary to get the point across,i was a career criminal I've dealt with my share off attorneys some good some bad Rob is by far the best!! Knows all the ins and outs of the law. If my life was on the line i would have to insist on rob. If you trust in the law your... definitely safe trusting. The best defense available.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
