About Robert
Biography
I am a former criminal prosecutor who aggressively handles jury and bench trials in front of various judges. We are a full service criminal defense law firm - consisting of handling successful and rigorous defense of high-profile drug offenses, murder charges, violent crimes, sex crimes, white collar crimes; misdemeanor - including DUI and drug-related offenses.
I obtained a not guilty jury verdict in trial in Madison County, IL in a first-degree murder charge.
I also recently presented the target witness before a Granid Jury in a murder investigation, in which a finding of NO TRUE BILL was returned against him, resulting in no first-degree murder charges brought against my client.
I have successfully prepared and argued appeals before the Illinois Appellate Court and Illinois Supreme Court.
I am licensed in Illinois and I serve the Metro-East, including Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, Clinton, Jersey, Macoupin, Greene, Effingham, Fayette, and Bond Counties.
Experience, Integrity, Results. Trial lawyer who consistently obtains favorable results for his clients!

Robert was exceptional. At the time my sister was passing away and he took care of everything so I didnt have to leave my sisters side. Robert made it possible so I didnt have to appear in court due to my sister passing and I was granted my expungement. Thank you Robert.
