Posted by Bobby | September 25, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

If you have an emotional attachment to your freedom.... Hire this man as soon as possible

Okay so here was my problem Third felony First felony.. manufacturing of a class one drug Second felony. Felony in possession of a firearm (Please note: with my record already I was on the top kill list by the DA office) Third felony: Felong in possession of ammunition while of probation for f...elony in possession of a firearm.... I hired Robert because I heard from some of my “friends” that Robert is the only lawyer your should ever hire. My “friends” were right... lol So I was stuck in jail due to a probation violation which has no bail at all. I seriously have a emotional hatred throes loosing my freedom....... So I meet with Robert thru the bulletproof glass of Los Angeles finest storage facility. LA men’s central... At first I was really annoyed with Robert. This had absolutely nothing to do with Robert ability as a lawyer. It had to due to the fact that Robert isn’t like other lawyer scum in LA. Robert won’t f******* lie to you. Be prepared to listen to the hard truth. Also every time Robert said we have a 15% chance of getting this judge or something other % of possibility. It always happened. I believe this is due to the fact Robert is a very popular and famous LA lawyer. In my case we saw three different judges. It was very clear that every DA and judge, knew and respected Robert. ( i will continue on this subject at the end) So somehow Robert gets me the most judge most likely to give me the best deal possibly. He said it was a 15% chance of getting this judge btw. (Trust me Robert has a lot of “pull” in these courthouses to get clients their best chances) The day came. After my first deals were three years prison, 24 months, and best and final was 16 months. Robert got me timed served plus three years probation and a stupid kinda fun drug program. (We did yoga and listened to music in the drug program. Easy!) So I was called first case I walk in and the judge tells the DA. Please read your sentencing recommendations for the defendant, but nothing you say will be used! LOL!!! The DA looked at me with a stare that made my 6’4 300 pound body shiver! And then the DA takes my very obese looking file, lifts it over her head and I joke you not, throws it out of angry ON TO THE TABLE! F******* PRICELESS!!! This was all because Robert got me a deal so sweet, that it angered the DA so much!!!! LMAO So after that I visited the judge to ask random questions about freedom of travel and so on. Every time before the judge heard my question he would ask about Robert. “How’s robert, have you talked to him?” “Is Robert better now I heard he was sick, please send my regards” So if your like me and have an emotional attachment to your freedom. Stop reading these posts and call Robert ASAP!!!! Hey Robert, If your reading this thank you! I will never forget what you did for me in my most shameful hour. Please excuse the spelling mistakes

Thankful!!!

After being under criminal investigation, I was extremely afraid and I lacked good judgement for some time. I feel RELIEVED that Bob represented me. I am very grateful to him. He got my case dropped.

Excellent Lawyer!

I had huge trouble with the law. It brought me into panic, and I couldn't do all the right thinking for myself. I feel very blessed that I hired Bob. He did an excellent job in representing me. Because of Bob I ended up not getting convicted of a crime that would have otherwise had devastating conseq...uences for my future.

THE BEST LAWYER!

I was accused of committing a serious felony, and I easily could have gone to prison for a long time. I was in tremendous fear. Bob saved me. When I started working with Bob he developed very strong and convincing legal defenses. He won my case and I am a free man. If I hadn't worked with him I'd lik...ely be a convicted felon. Bob is very sharp, his vast knowledge of criminal defense law was highly useful to my case. His communication skills, his experience, and his overall talent kept me out of serious criminal trouble. I highly recommend him.
