About Robert

When your financial future is at stake, don’t take chances. Board Certified Bankruptcy Attorney.

I have practiced bankruptcy law for over 25 years, and am certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Consumer Bankruptcy Law.  My law career started in 1988 with a judicial clerkship for the Honorable Geraldine Mund, United States Bankruptcy Court.  During those 25 years I have handled hundreds of consumer and business bankruptcy cases.

Review Robert Demarco

Highly Recommended!

Posted by

I highly recommend Bob. Our company used him over the last year and we are glad we did. He is a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer and has been very successful in dealing with our matters. Bob devotes enough time for his clients and has very good people skills. He is always on top of our matters and communicates often letting us know our options and how strong our case is. We send our collection and bankruptcy matters to Bob because we know he will be diligent and resolve the matter in the best way possible for our company.

Hard working and knowledgeable

I highly recommend Mr. Demarco. He took our families case and worked hard for us. We had a very unique and difficult situation. The knowledge and work ethic Mr. Demarco put into our bankruptcy was amazing. He’s very easy to work with, personable and helped me every step of the way. He made a sad and hard situation doable.

My situation was very difficult. When I walked in I was more stressed out and afraid than I had ever been in my life. Bob sat me down and we worked it all out. I am very thankful for what he did for my company and to save the livelihood of my employees.

Great job defending my creditors rights on a bankruptcy case !

Posted by

Mr. DeMarco was referred to me by one of his colleagues. I live in another state and was highly concerned about getting reliable representation without me living in the area. I needed a lawyer with expertise in bankruptcy, as I was a large creditor fighting a complicated bankruptcy case. As soon as I met Mr. DeMarco it was apparent he was very knowledgeable about all areas of bankruptcy and had great strategies on how to handle my case. He's upfront and easy to talk to. In court he truly set himself apart with his persuasive skills in front of the judge. As a result, my case had a favorable outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr. DeMarco. Great lawyer and man of integrity.

Honest up front lawyer!

I went to him for advice regarding a small claims lawsuit. He answered all of my questions and encouraged me to try to settle with the company suing me myself. He told me what to say and everything. Told me to keep the money I would have paid him and rather negotiate myself. I was considering filing bankruptcy and after reviewing my situation he told me that wasn't best for me (even though he obviously stood to make money if I did). My situation worked out fortunately. And I found out that not all lawyers are ruthless. Some of them actually care about the client and Robert DeMarco is one of them!
