Very good Advice on a damage claim

I called to inquire about a damage claim on my car and Robert was nice enough to give me great advice on what to do. I feel that he would be an awesome attorney for any legal problem his advice was right on the money.

Saved my life!

I would recommend Robert Ernenwein to anyone who wants a genuine, honest, hard working attorney. I was in a car accident and was facing serious time, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Robert worked on my case for two years consistently helping with every aspect a long the way. Everything... from the DMV to the sentencing hearing. If it weren't for Robert's attention to detail, creative thinking and knowledge of the law I wouldn't be able to write this review. When you are facing time it is incredibly stressful and scary. Robert maintains expectations and understands your frustrations. Robert treated me feel like I was his top priority. I want to thank you Robert for the countless hours of work, many late night meetings discussing my case, and for your extreme dedication. Robert works with a fabulous team who all went above and beyond for me as well. Robert included my family in everything along the way (by my request) treating us like we were more than just another client. Robert is reasonable in price and is worth every dollar. I consider Robert not only a great attorney but also a friend now. I can't thank him and his team enough! If you ever find yourself in a tough situation give them a call in my opinion you are not going to find a better attorney.

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."
