Awesome!!!

No words can explain how grateful we were to hire Robert Gebbia. Honestly wish I could put more than a 5 star. He was great with communication, very kind and did everything in his power to prove my cousins innocence and got his criminal case dismissed. I recommend him to anyone and would definitely h...ire him again! He’s worth it!!!

Corporate Relations

I really appreciated how well Bobby Gebbia and staff communicated with us throughout our case. Bobby was great at explaining everything. He made himself available by phone, text and face to face. His staff was also very responsive. He also got us the results we wanted. Our family is very gratefu...l and if we ever need a lawyer again he will be the one we call.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!

My old man had 2 possession charges, both were with intent to deliver a controlled substance of 4-200 G, a weapons charge, along with unauthorized use of a vehicle. His court appointed attorney kept telling us that with these charges he was going to have to do a whole lot of time in prison and basi...cally indicated that it was a waste of HIS time to try to ask for a lesser sentence because they wouldn't grant it if we did. So, needless to say, we were on the hunt for a good criminal defense attorney after hearing that! Of course, most of them were outrageously priced or just didn't seem to give us the right vibe. Just when I was about ready to give up, I got a referral from a good friend of ours for Mr. Gebbia. He was very reasonable with his costs, he had a reasonable down payment and payment plan and we got a free consultation. When I first met with him he was very understanding, but at the same time upfront and honest. But most importantly I could tell he loved a good challenge and that was exactly what we needed. He gave me his cell phone number so I could text him anytime and he was always easy to get a hold of, if I had any questions all I had to do was text him and he got back to me as soon as he could. As I said originally, the court appointed attorney told us that my old man was looking at a lot of years in prison but with Mr. Gebbia taking over the case.... he got 3 charges dropped so that the only charge he had was one of the possession charges and he got him 6 months inpatient rehab with 3 months halfway house and 6 years probation but most importantly my old man got NO PRISON time!!! I promise Mr. Gebbia is well worth every penny, and I have no problem recommending him to anyone!!!

Professional, compassionate, & affordable

Mr. Gebbia was there for me when I needed his help. He took the time to listen to every question and concern and thoroughly explained what he would be doing for me so I didn't have any questions or surprises. He was alaways available when I needed him. His services were affordable. I will re...fer all of my friends to him.

Thorough, knowledgeable, and well prepared

Robert was my attorney through my annulment. It was a tricky situation as the circumstances fell into gray areas. Robert was very clear on the rules set, the options we had, was very flexible in understanding our concerns, and traveled to the Williamson county courthouse to prepare, reassure, and rep...resent me. I am very grateful for his services as he guided me through a very nebulous process that resulted in a granted annulment thanks to his diligence and expertise.

He works hard to see that his clients get the best treatment from the justice system. His trial experience is second to none, from United States District Court to far flung county courts he has shared his clients' stories to sympathetic ears.

"Bobby and I have the unique experience of working together as criminal defense attorneys as well as working as opposing counsel when I was a prosecutor. Bobby is a dual threat in the courtroom, as he displays an encyclopedic knowledge of the law, but has the charisma necessary to connect with jurors. As someone who has spent their entire career in the field of criminal law, I can say that I enthusiastically endorse Mr. Gebbia without any reservations."
