Highly Recommend

So you get in trouble.....you look around trying to find the right person that will care be understanding and guide you through a tough time...let's face it if you're looking for a criminal lawyer you need help, or your going to jail, losing your job or worse all of the above with heavy fines. Well l...et me tell you Robert is the man, "HANDS DOWN" he did for me what no one else could do, really. Prior to finding Robert I hired 3 other attoneys for my cold case of 23 years to over turn a conviction that has been haunting me, even though he said, I cannot make any promises but this is the approach I'm going to take. Well he accomplished the impossible, I cannot tell you how much his care and concern to fight for whats right without judgement means to me and I'm sure will mean to you. Thanks Robert, you are a true gentlemen.

GREAT ATTORNEY

I met with Robert Ernenwein in his office for a consultation and almost right away I knew he's the attorney that I want. Rob is personable, caring, and sensitive to the needs of his clients. He cares more for his clients than just making money, whereas for many other attorneys it's the way other ar...ound. I explained to Rob my situation and he represented me in court. I kind of thought that i would have to pay a fine or get probation, but Rob actually got my case dismissed! I'm forever grateful to Rob and can't thank him enough. I consider him a true friend for what he's done for me and for being so understanding. I was going through financial hardships and Rob knocked off $1000 from the original price and also let me pay $250 monthly instead of $500(which is what he actually asked for). He's also very easy to get a hold of and even lets me call him on his cell phone. He answers all my questions promptly. Rob, I love you very much. I consider you to be the BLACK BELT of all defense attorneys! Anonymous

So grateful!!

Robert Ernenwein was absolutely a pleasure to have as the attorney representing my DUI case. I am a 25 year old college student who also has a full time property management career. This law office worked so well with my schedule. Robert was professional and has years of experience in this fiel...d of law. He was able to successfully drop my DUI charge to a lower charge. Could not be happier with the outcome. If you are in need of a great attorney with an abundance of experience as well as a very professional office staff who constantly will keep you updated. CALL the law offices of Robert Ernenewein!! 5 stars across the board.

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.

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."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."
