Excellent, Ethical Attorney

Robert has been my family attorney for years. He helped me through a high-conflict divorce and ongoing child custody case, helping clear my name from false allegations and protect my rights as a father. He has a calm and poised demeanor and deals respectfully with clients and other attorneys. He's of...fered me sound advice over the years and has been good with negotiations too, knowing when to push and when to stand firm. I'm thankful to have peace, custody, and a great relationship with my child today because of his help. Highly recommend.

Mr. Curtis has been amazing!

Mr. Curtis helped me with my domestic violence case that I was wrongfully accused with and he got it successfully dismissed. He is now helping me with my custody case involving my young children. He helps me with any paperwork I need to fill out and he is always available to communicate with me via p...hone call or text when I have a question. Going through this can be very emotional and draining and Mr. Curtis is understanding of that and does what he can to help ease my mind. I’m so grateful for everything is has done and continues to do to help me get the best outcome for me and my children. I will continue to use Mr. Curtis for any ongoing legal issues I have.

Professional and Excelent Attorney

Mr. Curtis is a complete, communicative, very efficient lawyer! has done a good job on my divorce and child custody case! I hired another law firm which lasted 8 months without doing anything at all and Robert in two months has completed and advanced many procedures! Thanks Robert!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
