Amazing Lawyer

If you want the BEST call Robert Ernenwein. Let me tell you, it is scary to walk in to an Attorney’s office. Even one that you have been referred to by a trusted friend. You are stressed and worried about what could happen without the proper representation. From the moment we met Robert and shoo...k his hand, he made us feel at ease. He listened and asked straight forward questions, never blaming or accusatory. At that first meeting, Robert explained what was going to happen and what his action plan was. It went exactly as he said it would. Robert took the stress and worry off of us and handled our case from start to finish. In less than 3 months the case was dismissed and we can move on with our lives. How can you thank someone for that? By paying it forward and letting others in the same situation know there is light at the end of the tunnel if you have Robert and his team by your side. When you need an attorney, do yourself a favor an call Robert Ernenewein. I’m so glad we did.

Mr. Robert Ernenwein was able assist me in fighting a case that I was dealing with that could possibly effect my driving record and my career as well! I was referred to him by a family friend and they spoke very highly of him. My mother and I went in to his office for a consultation and from there I ...knew he would be the best lawyer to represent me! He was very knowledgeable, generous and understanding! His staff who worked in his office were also very helpful whenever I would call for follow ups regarding the case. I will definitely recommend Mr. Ernenwein to anyone who may need legal assistance in the future!

CASE DISMISSED!!!!

I am extremely pleased with Robert Ernenwins performance. I would recommend Robert and his team to my closest friends and family should they ever need a criminal lawyer. Robert is professional, detailed and his results are as good as they get. Robert was in constant contact with me through out the en...tire case. It is clear Robert makes use of his 30+ years, having been a district attorney and criminal lawyer. Robert was able to get my case dismissed, and I could not have expected a better outcome.

Could not be more pleased

There are many law firms; many knowledgeable and competent lawyers, but relatively fewer legal teams that integrate care for the client’s disquiet with care for the legal matter at hand. The Law Offices of Robert Ernenwein is an exceptional organization that addresses both the legal nuance of the in...dividual matter and the client’s apprehension as an outsider thrust into the esoteric area of legal procedure. Attorney Ernenwein and his Operations Manager Kaitlin Tower went far beyond that which can reasonably be expected, devoting time to ensuring this anxious client was provided timely updates as the matter progressed. Always professional, patient and quick to respond to our questions, we felt the presence of a caring advocate throughout the process. Competent and compassionate, we are especially grateful for the kindness and understanding we received with a matter that could not possibly have been their most serious. Their care and empathy, however, made us feel it was as important as any on their docket. We could not recommend them more highly.

Robert is your guy!

Well I had recent run in with the law. I have never been in any sort of trouble before. Not so much as a traffic violation in 18 years. While out one night for a company holiday dinner I was arrested for DUI. I had drinks at dinner and waited 2 1/2 hours before driving thinking that would be enou...gh time to drive home. Well apparently I was wrong. I was arrested. In the days that followed I was a nervous reck concerned with how this would impact my career and my ability to provide for my family. I spent hours on Google worrying myself even more. While looking for a great Lawyer to give me the best outcome I came across Robert Ernenwein. Robert layed out what I could expect in the coming months and what he could possibly do for me after briefly going over that evening of arrest. He never made any promises but was always honest and straight forward. I immediately felt more at ease with his honest approach to my situation. Thats not to say I didn't become a nervous wreck googling DUI and waiting for my blood test results in the weeks that followed. I did. But when ever I had a question regarding my case I knew I would always get a call back from Robert. I had a few follow up meetings to discuss my case before DMV admin hearing and court and always felt better afterwards. So here I am a little over 3 months since my arrest and I am more than happy with what Robert was able to do for me. I thought the chances of reduced charges were pretty slim, but Robert got it done! I don't know how he was able to do it, but he did and for that I am extremely thankful. If you are looking to hire a lawyer whom you trust to put your life in their hands, seriously consider giving Robert a call. He is extremely knowledgable, honest and on top of everything else a great guy. You will undoubtably be advised to consult with several lawyers when trying to find the right person to represent you. I can tell you with absolute certainty that choosing Robert to represent you will be the best decision you can make.

Domestic violence lawyer | Oct 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

You cannot go wrong with Robert as your lawyer, as your co-counsel, or even as your adversary."
