Richard Granvold, Debt collection Attorney on Nov 15, 2016

I endorse this lawyer. Why? Some attorneys simply provide a brief answer which in essence states to hire an attorney. Robert instead carefully sets forth an accurate answer, fully detailed and the options a person has. Don't you want that in your attorney so you know your options, which to take and someone to assist you with the knowledge, experience and guidance Robert offers? I would hope so! And that is why I endorse him !

I have known Robert Stempler for many years, and have worked with him on several cases. He is a long-time consumer practitioner, an honest lawyer, and skilled in assisting consumers with car fraud, debt collection harassment, and credit reporting cases. He is up to date on the law, and in my opinion, has an especially good knowledge of civil procedure, both federal and state. I can highly recommend Robert to any client who is looking for representation in the area of consumer protection.
Patric Lester, Consumer protection Attorney on Jun 15, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have co-counseled and strategized with Robert on a number of matters and I never cease to be impressed with his integrity, expertise and ability to analyze a client’s legal options and choices. Robert is a very skilled litigation attorney with vast experience in both state and federal trial and appellate matters. Unlike many attorneys who talk about litigating cases but have rarely if ever seen the inside of a courtroom, Robert has litigated hundreds of cases for consumers. He speaks from experience fighting for his clients “in the trenches”. He talks the talk and walks the walk. I highly recommend him.
