About Robert

Biography

Rob is the "go to" lawyer for his clients when a dispute arises, no matter the issue. He is a trial lawyer who routinely appears on both sides of the docket, whether his client is a giant, multi-billion-dollar company or an individual seeking justice.

Rob's peers have recognized his commitment to excellence; he was named a Texas Rising Star eleven years in a row by Super Lawyers®. For six of those years, Rob was distinguished further as one of the "Up-and-Coming Top 100 Rising Stars", a select list of only 100 attorneys in the state. Since 2022, Rob has been named a Texas Super Lawyer; selection to this annual list is a distinction limited to the top 5% of attorneys in Texas. He also has been honored as one of the "Best Lawyers in Dallas" by D Magazine five times and is rated as "AV Preeminent" by Martindale-Hubbell, which reflects that Rob has reached the highest levels of professional excellence, skill, and integrity.

Rob has tried lawsuits in state courts, federal courts, before regulatory tribunals, and before arbitration panels for both plaintiffs and defendants. He has gone toe-to-toe against some of the most accomplished and revered trial attorneys in the country, emerging victorious. That said, his successes are not limited to courtroom victories alone; in 2013, Rob obtained one of the top ten reported settlements in Texas according to VerdictSearch in a complex construction defect lawsuit.

Rob's longstanding clients span across a number of industries, including international manufacturing companies, contractors, healthcare providers and organizations, software developers, consulting firms, and more. He is often called on to assess risk and negotiate matters in an effort to avoid litigation. When that is not feasible, he fiercely advocates for his clients in his "second home"--the courtroom.

A New York native, Rob made his way to Texas after graduating from Rutgers University in New Jersey to attend Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law, where he earned Dean's List honors and was one of only ten graduates named to the Order of Barristers, a prestigious honor society recognizing outstanding advocacy skills.

Harvey Spector of Texas!

I'm glad we have websites like avvo where I not only found my lawyer but can leave him a great review for him to become your next great lawyer. Robert is not only is smart, intelligent, and knowledgable about the law but he is an agressive, determined attorney. He will think outside the box if need...ed to make sure his clients are well taken care of and make sure they are not taken advantage of at the same time. He also tries to save me Money all the time! Haha appreciate it buddy! I can see why Deans & Lyons are noted as a super lawyer law firm they simply hire the best, are the best, and after this many years themselves and their partners like Robert still give a very personal feeling toward your case. I want to say thank you and that I will always use Robert for all my business and personal items which my concern legality. You've become a friend, thanks for helping me out this last year.

Trusted, aggressive and client focused.

We were looking for an aggressive attorney to serve as our go-to counsel for a rapidly growing business. Rob was able to step up and help guide us through a number of challenges. We consider him to be one of our most trust partners. After seeing him operate in the courtroom, we knew we found the r...ight lawyer. I would recommend Rob to anyone that needs legal assistance.

Proud to Say I'm Represented by Robert J. Bogdanowicz III

Robert, or simply "Rob," confidently handled a situation with a competitor employing scare tactics to get their hands on my company's business dealings. It was a tough situation, but Rob's counsel saved my business a lot of headache. He employed multiple strategies, immediately built a strong defen...se based on thorough case research, prompt rebuttal and efficient communications. What he did not know, he was resourceful in researching through his network. The plan was always clear that he would do whatever it took to settle the manner in our favor.
