Excellent representation

I hired Robert Bas for my divorce and he got me full custody of my son. He also handled my criminal cases and done so much more than I expected he did an amazing job.

Posted by Nick | November 24, 2014 | Child Custody

Excellent representation!

Mr. Bas took over for a former attorney, and within a short matter of time, got me the results i was hoping for. He was conscientious, detail-oriented and always kept me informed. In court, Mr. Bas was aggressive, yet respectful and to-the-point. As a result, I get to spend more time with my son. ... I highly recommend Robert Bas for the outstanding job he did in giving me a better custody arrangement with my child.

Amazing lawyer

I was in deep trouble looking at 13 years on a meth case. I had three felonys a class 2,1,& x. Mrs bas was able to get my two worst ones dropped and just probation on my class 2. If it werent for him id be in prison for a long time and i broke my bond twice before it was all said n done he was still ...able to help me out. Im actually gonna ask for his advice today about custody of my unborn child. Thank you mr bas you have been wonderful my whole family and i thank you, ive got 16 months clean and km doing great on my probation

Satisfied!

I turned to Mr. Bas after I was unhappy with my past two lawyers in a child custody matter. He was very knowledgeable about my situation, and diligent in working to achieve my desired outcome. He kept me informed every step of the way and was able to convince the Judge to give me custody of my daug...hter. His office manager, Amy, was always very courteous and encouraging to me throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Bas for his hard work, dedication and knowledge in getting me the right outcome.

poor job

I used Rob Bas for a child custody case about 2 months ago. He was recommended by a woman the court house and said he was a really nice guy. I trusted her and hired him.. I got my first bill and was amazed how he done me so wrong. First he charged me 150. to drive from Edwardsville to Belleville a...nd he could have mailed it for .44 cents. Then he charged me 15.00 dollars for each phone call I made to him to return my call which I called seven times and he has never yet to call me back. I went to another attorney and showed him my bill and papers and he even filed it in the wrong court. I called that day to terminate services and now it has been 3 weeks to get my remaining 1200 dollars back. I do not recommend him for nothing

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.
