About Robert
Biography
Just because you have been charged with a crime does not mean that you are guilty. The State has the Police and the Prosecutor’s Office on their side; you need a zealous advocate on yours. The State will bring all of its vast power to bear against those it accuses of a crime, so it is important to have an experienced professional to guide you through this nightmare. A criminal record will follow you for the rest of your life. It is vital that you do everything that you can to keep that record clean. It can affect your employment, schooling, even your personal relationships.
It is important to gather all the evidence that you possibly can, for the State will be doing exactly that. Even before you have to appear in court, steps can and should be taken to strengthen your case. Again, this is where having an experienced professional on your side will help immensely. I will work with you at every stage of your case. I will weigh every option and explore every potential solution to your legal troubles. Ultimately, you will make the final decisions, but I will do everything in my power to give you the best options to choose from.

First Divorce
Due unfortunate circumstances I had to switch attorneys near the end of my divorce proceedings. The final process of my divorce was going to trial since parties were unable to agree.

Did not advocate
Robert was very responsive throughout the long custody dispute. However, he did not advocate for the best interests of my child and just wanted me to agree with the the father and go with 50-50 custody. He left out some important evidence that I feel could have helped during the trial.

Too Busy
I was going through a custody battle with the ex-husband. Very stressful time for me. Robert was good at first with fast responses from him or his paralegal but closer to the first court appearance, we did not meet up to go over anything and he showed up 2 minutes prior to my hearing and left before ...
