Above and Beyond
Robert's knowledge, resources and commitment, made the difference in my case. His personal approach made me feel like a friend and not merely a client. He really went above and beyond for my case, and I would not hesitate to recommend him. He truly is a "Super Lawyer."

Committed, hard working and smart!
I spent 10 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit. Bob was part of the team that got me out of prison. Bob's personal effort in working on my release went well above what most lawyers would do.
