Excellent representation

Mr Sewell & his staff were immediarely responsive to any of my questions - i never had to wait as someone was always available. It was an immense source of reassurance. There were no surprises from opposition as this team was a step ahead of them- what a comfort! Thank you Robert, Liz, Letty & Pat...ty

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Took most of the stress out of a legal battle.

I came to Bob's firm with a unique and difficult probate case that I was hoping wouldn't have to go to arbitration. I was drawn to his firm because of a positive experience in my family, but I was still nervous about who I would choose to represent me. I had a very delicate situation and knew I neede...d a specific kind of attorney to take on this case with me. I met with Bob for an initial consult, and I immediately knew I wanted to hire him. Bob went above and beyond in my case and made sure that he would get things to end in my favor. I appreciated his honesty and straight forwardness from start to finish; I had expected to have to interpret the real truth in what was being said to me, but Bob always told it like it was - even when I wasn't always thrilled with what he was telling me. His work ethic is admirable and the persistence he showed in my case blew my expectations out of the water. Bob fought for me tooth and nail and still kept everything realistic in our conversations. I truly respect and revere his efforts and performance. While I don't doubt that other lawyers are capable of handling what I was going through, I don't believe I would have found a better match in my case than with Bob. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Bob, for your help in everything.

#1 Attorney for US!!!

Bob took over our case and definitely went above & beyond all expectations at a difficult time. My Developmentally & Intellectually Disabled friend was in need of someone to oversee her basic daily needs, manage her money & make sure she is safe. Bob helped us with the legal necessities of my becom...ing her Guardian in addition to the “Big Sis” she calls me. Bob & his assistant are always personable, patient & easy to understand in a world where I have no knowledge. What a God Send and a Blessing to me and mine! When I come of Probate age myself, I Know who to call!!!

He's the Best

Bob helped me to protect my disabled mother's best interests despite the fact that I live over 2,000 miles away. He made the process of securing guardianship and conservatorship understandable and was able to guide me to a successful outcome. I am in his debt.

Robert Sewel did outstanding work for my family

Robert was the best man for the job! Got hard case settled beyond my expectations. I was handling trust for friends who passed and two years after settled sued by Son of People who disinherited him and wrongly accused my son and my deceased wife of Elder Abuse. Great job, much thanks

William Skabelund

Probate lawyer | May 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I regularly work with Bob on probate matters. Often they are contested estates. Bob has the exceptional gift of being a proven litigator doing probate. This is unusual because most attorneys who practice probate are: (1) afraid of contested matters, and (2) do not have litigation experience, but are only estate planning attorneys. Bob approaches probate like he does his other trials, thoroughly and aggressively. He gets results and is often able to see opportunities where other attorneys find none. I highly recommend Bob for probate, litigation, real estate, and collections."
