About Robert

Traffic, DUI and Criminal Defense Attorney. Fight to Protect your Record!

Robert F. Gruler is a native of Arizona and has spent his life developing relationships in the local community. The oldest of three boys, Gruler learned at an early age what it means to lead and has carried forth that tradition throughout his life.

Mr. Gruler attended Brophy College Preparatory, an all-boys Jesuit high school in downtown Phoenix. While there, Gruler was a four-year letterman on the wrestling team, serving as Team Captain his Junior and Senior years. In 2004, Gruler competed and won first place in the regional tournament. At Brophy, Gruler excelled in his studies and secured a full scholarship to Arizona State University. Fulfilling the school’s mission, Mr. Gruler learned to become a “man for others” and developed lifelong friendships during his time at Brophy.

Mr. Gruler later attended Arizona State University where he immediately found a passion in politics. Active in many on campus political clubs and volunteering for political campaigns across the state, Gruler found an avenue by which he could affect meaningful change. In 2008, Gruler graduated Arizona State University magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.

Looking for additional means of affecting change, Gruler decided to attend law school in 2009 to better hone his advocating abilities. While attending Phoenix School of Law, Gruler was named a Raul Castro Scholar and served as vice managing editor and staff editor of the Phoenix Law Review, leading dozens of teams and individuals in publishing the school’s most prominent journal. Gruler was a member of the Federalist Society and the founder and vice president of the Criminal Law Society. He earned the highest marks in his Constitutional Law II and Business Association courses and graduated at the top of his class. In May 2012, Gruler received his Juris Doctorate magna cum laude from Phoenix School of Law. During his time in law school, Gruler served as a legal intern for for various law firms..

Mr. Gruler is proud to be a part of the R&R Law Group team and the fight to protect constitutional liberties that appear to be eroding at an ever greater pace.

In his spare time, Gruler enjoys hiking, exercising, web development and spending time with his friends and family. Gruler is an active participant at his local lodge and acts as a foster for injured animals in cooperation with Bethany Animal Medical Hospital.

Review Robert Gruler

Great experience

Posted by

I got a speeding ticket that was issued in a shady manner, with no real evidence. I contacted R&R and my assigned lawyer fought for it and they dismissed the charge really fast! Best firm ever!

Criminal Traffic Citation

Posted by

I had received a Criminal Traffic Citation with speeding over 85mph while I was on a trip in Arizona [December 2019]. R&R Law firm team helped me with the dismissal of the ticket. The process was explained and I had constant interactions. They are very professional and the whole process was very smooth for me without my physical presence in Arizona. My ticket was dismissed with online Driving school training. I would definitely recommend them.

Criminal to Civil Speed

Posted by

Criminal Speed (114 - 85 over) reduced to Civil Speed (25 over). Worked with me from start to finish. Very tough case but the results were a huge relief. Civil speed with community service, lifeskills course and driver remediation course.

Professional and quick

I was panicked over a speeding ticket when I found out the criminal ramifications. The attorneys in the office where to respond and put my fears about the whole process to rest. They handled everything. If ever in this situation I will be using this office again. Crossing fingers however I never have to do this again. But thank you for making the process less painful.

R&R Law Group is Amazing!

Posted by

The R&R Law Group handled my case with impressive professionalism and great competence. The Legal Assistant was amazing and never missed a detail. Mr. Gill, my attorney, was accessible and available to talk whenever I had a question. In court, Mr. Gill gave me the best advice and read on the situation that he could and we ended up winning - which is what the R&R Law Group does so often. I wholeheartedly recommend the R&R Law Group. First class in every way.

I was very anxious when I received a criminal traffic citation on the drive home from vacation. It really put a downer after my trip but R&R Law Group helped put my mind at ease and this issue behind me so I can keep going on road adventures in the future! Thanks to R&R, my case was dismissed completely. Thanks!

They handle the case with knowledge and care and kept in touch with me through out the case I had a lot of personal problems and my paperwork wasn’t complete and I wasn’t near them at all but Mr. Gruler was very positive in his headline of the case and he dismissed the case I am very happy I didn’t even give him complete paperwork but he did what he can so if you need a Criminal or Traffic Attorney Mr. Gruler is your man and thank you again.
