He is knowledgeable from a legal stand point, realistic to the facts of the case, creative and detailed in his approach to discovery and case strategy but perhaps more importantly, is cognizant to the needs of his clients in resolving the case. He was a pleasure to work with on the case."
"I have known Bob for over a decade. He is a powerful advocate and a thoughtful problem solver. Bob is a dedicated and accomplished lawyer."
"I have had the honor to work side by side with Bob many times over the last decade, most recently at a law firm that we opened together. His high ethical standards, professional judgment, and humbled willingness to remain up to speed on the law makes him the best of the best. He treats clients with a respect they deserve. His humble confidence is unique and appealing to juries, before legislative bodies and before regulatory agencies. His litigation record is beyond compare. Most importantly, he is willing to go toe-to-toe against even the best funded of government agencies."
