    Thumbs up!

    Robert is a great attorney. Very professional and will handle everything for a reasonable fee. We were able to reach a settlement and my case was dismissed. Would recommend!

    Quick Response

    Posted by

    Although this lawyer was not able to personally help me, he responded very quickly which was much appreciated since my case was extremely time-sensitive. He even spent the time giving me 3 resources for law centers that might be able to help. Even though he couldn't take my case, he sent me in the right direction so that I had a better idea of what my circumstance was.

    I posted a question potentially involves a small claim case, and Mr. Harlan answered it but needed some more details. I then message him with more information concerning my situation. Mr. Harlan responded my message in 5 minutes! Very detailed response !

    Exceptional professionalism

    Posted by

    I engaged the services of Mr. Stempler on a quite complicated task - negotiations with a company which has purchased a debt I had with a lending institution. Mr. Stempler was very thorough and meticulous, bringing the issue to a successful end for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an accomplished professional's help.

    Derek Jacques, Debt settlement Attorney on Nov 12, 2018
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    Mr. Stemplar has provided invaluable resources to the Avvo community. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to any person in need.

    Rahul Aggarwal

    An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services.

    Channika Desilva, Debt settlement Attorney on Mar 26, 2017
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. Mr. Stempler is a well-regarded and driven attorney who has provided exceptional legal representation to numerous clients throughout the U.S. With his extensive knowledge, broad experience and impressive professional skills, he is bound to invest his time and energy into achieving the best outcome for each case, regardless of its level of complexity.

    Gregory Cade, Debt settlement Attorney on Feb 8, 2017
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    Robert is undoubtedly a top notch attorney who has skillfully mastered his primary area of practice over the course of his professional experience. His sharp critical thinking and flawless work ethic are perhaps the key qualities which ensured the success of a remarkable number of his cases. I endorse this lawyer and encourage anyone who needs superior legal representation to opt for his services.

    Peter Depew, Debt settlement Attorney on Feb 6, 2017
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Stempler provides a much needed service on Avvo. He donates his time to individuals who are in need of immediate legal answers.

    Sarah Condor, Lemon law Attorney on Dec 26, 2016
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I endorse this lawyer.

    Richard Granvold, Debt collection Attorney on Nov 15, 2016
    Relationship: Other

    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 !

    Alexander Trueblood, Consumer protection Attorney on Jun 27, 2016
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    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.

    Balam Letona, Lawsuits and disputes Attorney on Apr 26, 2016
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    Robert Stempler is a standout lawyer and superb person. I have known him for more than a decade. He understands credit disputes and credit reporting problems and will help. Whether he is representing you in a lawsuit or resolving a matter informally you can't go wrong with Robert.

    Robert Stempler is a smart and diligent attorney, and does an outstanding job for the consumers he represents.

    I've known Robert for over 15 years and am happy to provide an endorsement. Robert has an excellent reputation amongst consumer protection lawyers, and is a quality person in addition to an excellent attorney.
