About Robert
Biography
Bob has handled a variety of complex lawsuits in Texas and many other U.S. states, some of which have involved seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements. In fact, together with his colleagues, he helped obtain a $67,470,000 unanimous verdict on behalf of a paralyzed client in 2015, one of the largest jury verdicts in the United States that year. In 2016 he was co-counsel in another trial involving a young man who was left with a brain injury after a recreational boxing game. That trial resulted in a jury verdict in excess of $17 million, one of the largest verdicts in the state of Texas that year. In 2011 he helped represent the family of a young man who was nearly cut in half in a forklift rollover. That trial resulted in one of the largest workplace accident verdicts in Texas in 2011. More recently he was honored to be one of the lawyers representing the family of Sandra Bland in their litigation against the Texas Department of Public Safety and the county jail where Sandra died--a suit which not only resulted in a considerable monetary settlement for her family but which also led to permanent changes in jail policies and procedures. Bob also gives lectures on legal topics at seminars around the United States and Canada and conferences and has been featured on television news programs. Among his many recognitions, Bob has been named to the SuperLawyers® list from 2011-2016, is a peer-nominated member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, and has been "AV" rated by the Martindale-Hubbell legal publication since 2003--that esteemed publication's highest rating for an attorney.
Bob moved to Texas in the early 1970s from the East Coast. As the son of first-generation Polish immigrants, his parents instilled in him the values of loyalty, patriotism, and the importance of family. They taught him the importance of “paying your dues,” and as a student he worked several jobs simultaneously while attending classes full-time. As an accomplished school athlete and national merit scholar, Bob’s hard work never faltered. As a law student, Bob joined the team at Tom Rhodes Law Firm, P.C. as a clerk, and has worked alongside Tom Rhodes ever since.
Bob is a dedicated family man and enjoys spending his free time with his wife and children.
