Robert Stanley Ernenwein's Lawyer Endorsements
"I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer. Robert is a true professional, from start to finish. He is highly experienced and one of the hardest working folks around. He is honest and ethical. Most importantly, he is genuinely respectful and kind-hearted."
"I endorse Robert. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer wholeheartedly."
"Robert is an excellent Lawyer. I trust his judgment and highly endorse this lawyer."
"Robert and his firm appreciate the technical crossover issues domestic violence allegations create in divorce and criminal matters. Typical plea bargains by most public defenders can create presumptions in divorce proceedings which can prevent a person from receiving spousal support or custody of their children. As a divorce lawyer I know that when I work with Robert the matter will be handled carefully and expertly."
"When I was a District Attorney, I referred all potential criminal defendants to Mr. Ernenwein--even my own friends and family members. Now as a practicing criminal defense lawyer, I look to him for guidance and expertise as he knows just about everything in the book. He is a great lawyer, and even greater person. You cannot go wrong with Robert as your lawyer, as your co-counsel, or even as your adversary."
"Bob is a true fighter and passionate about the defense of his clients."
"Mr. Ernenwein is one of the most competent and knowledgeable attorneys that I have ever encountered in both my personal life and my professional career. He is a man who puts in the hard hours at work, day after day, with the kind of dedication and energy that puts men half his age to shame."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"You cannot go wrong with hiring McGregor & Ernenwein. They are top notch!"
"Robert Ernenwein is a remarkably skilled, proficient and diligent criminal defense attorney. His knowledge of criminal law is virtually encyclopedic. Given his background as a Deputy District Attorney and 25 years of dedicated criminal defense work, his expertise is unmatched by most criminal defense attorneys. Highly recommended!"
