Innovative attorney

Mr Hanauer is an excellent attorney; we were very impressed with the way he handled our case he knew exactly what needed to be done to alleviate our situation & gave us all the options on how to handle our problem but also helped us to see the best option for us long term; you can tell he really care...s about you as an individual. He knows the law & how to use it to benefit you; we would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a great lawyer; if we ever need a lawyer again he is the only one we would want.

Success in a civil case

My experience with Mr. Hanauer was excellent. Throughout the case, he demonstrated that undoubtedly knew the law better than the opposing attorney, and at one point in the hearing, he knew the law even better than the judge himself! He was extremely reassuring to me and my family throughout the entir...e process, and updated us promptly when there were new developments in the case. I felt very comfortable trusting him to win the case for us, and he did. I would definitely recommend Rob Hanauer!

Successful defense of a civil lawsuit

We purchased a house in 2010. The developer took issue with a fence we had constructed and tried to retroactively enforce a covenant that would make us remove the fence. So, we were facing a civil lawsuit. We hired Rob as our attorney....I did not know him personally beforehand, but we went to t...he firm where he was employed based on their reputation. I had never been sued in my life. The experience was unnerving to say the least. Rob always let us know the status of our case as it progressed. More importantly, he conveyed the technical aspects of our case in practical, understandable language. He always gave us a fair and candid assessment in order for us to decide what options we wanted to pursue. He put himself in our position...almost as if was his house. Many attorneys advertise that they take on the case as if it was theirs, but Rob displayed this out of the gates and through to the finish line. The case languished on for three years and thanks to Rob's expertise, the verdict came back in our favor. I hope never to need an attorney again, but if i do, it will be Rob Hanauer.

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 18

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"There is no other way to say it. Mr. Hanauer is the full package. He knows the rules. He has the respect of the courts in which he appears. He has extraordinary critical thinking skills in developing a legal strategy and his approach to client communication is individualized to the needs of each client. We have worked together on several high profile cases and one extraordinarily factually complex case. In each situation, he is help the client think through the risk/reward ratio of each approach and attempted to craft that approach in a way that was comfortable for the client. At the same time, he takes very seriously his duties as an "officer of the court." There is no client and there is no amount of money which would cause him to ignore or dishonor his obligations to the court or to his clients."
