About Robert
Biography
I've lived all around Southern California since becoming a California lawyer in 1992. For several years, I've been a resident of Los Angeles. I'm grateful for evey day and wish to thank all of those who make it possible for me, day in and day out, especially Jesus Christ and Mother Mary.

"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."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"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 !"

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."
"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."
