TOP FLIGHT LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN MISSOURI
Since January first of this year I have obtained over $1.6 million dollars for clients I have represented in personal injury cases throughout Missouri. I only represent real people with real problems. I provide one on one representation. When you hire me you get me. Scroll down to "cases" and check out my results. I don't spend $1,000,000 a year on advertizing like some lawyers in town do so I can put more money in your pocket.
In 2003 I won a case the was named one of the 100 most important cases in the State of Missouri for that year. In 2009 I graduated from the prestigious Trial Lawyers College founded by the great trial attorney Gerry Spence. I was fortunate to have been able to study under Gerry Spance at his ranch in Wyoming. There are only approximately 1500 TLC graduates in the entire country, made up of some of the best trial lawyers in the United States and I am proud to be one of them.
I have been a trial lawyer now for 18 years doing auto accident cases, criminal defense, and reciently immigration cases. I'm doing immigration cases because good people who want to immigrate to this country need good representation in these uncertain times. I am licensed to practice in both state and federal courts including:
All Missouri state courts; Federal District Court for the Western District of Missouri; Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri; Federal 8th Circuit Court of Appeals; The U.S. Supreme Court; and All U.S. Immigration Courts.
Let me put my years of experence and training to work for you!

Robert Franklin Torp's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Bob is not only a very smart attorney, but also a very nice guy."
"Bob is a well known, highly respected attorney who cares about his clients and their legal matters. I would recommend Bob without hesitation."
"I endorse Robert. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Bob is very thorough in his research and preparation on cases and is known to think outside of the box. I would highly recommend Bob for any complex matter."
"Robert is sharp, works hard, is professional and is a good guy. I endorse him wholeheartedly."
"Bob and I were opposing counsel for several years before we both joined the same firm. I think it is fair to say I have never met an attorney who cares more about his client's Constitutional rights than Bob does. I did not enjoy fighting Bob when I was a prosecutor, but do enjoy being on the same side when we discuss legal defenses, and have seen how much he cares. Bob is a passionate defender of his clients, and there is no doubt his clients have an aggressive advocate."
"Bob is always looking out for the best interest of his clients and works diligently to do excellent work for them. I endorse this lawyer."
"Bob always provides his clients with fair & aggressive representation. I have referred many clients to Bob and will continue to do so in the future."
"I worked with Bob on a very difficult federal criminal case. He handled himself very well with the judge, with all evidence matters in court, and the paperwork was well organized and convinced the judge to drop half the charges against the defendant before trial started. Bob puts everything into his cases, looking to represent the client the best he can. What a honor and privilege it was to act as his second chair. His greatest strength is his ability to listen. With Bob, listening is a creative act where every sense is tuned to those around him. He can hear the jurors thinking and adjust his case accordingly. I hope to work again with Bob."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Bob is a dedicated criminal defense lawyer who works hard to find his client's story and present it to the jury."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Bob has the rare combination of being very smart and an excellent listener. Bob is a fellow graduate of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. It is an elite group of attorneys with specialized training in all aspect of trial preparation and trial itself. Bob cares deeply for his clients. You could not be in better hands."
