| Hired Attorney
More than great, he's the BEST
Robert not only provided legal advice, support, direction, and a professional, comfortable atmosphere, but he went above and beyond the call of duty to truly help me and my case. He is without a doubt the ONLY lawyer I would ever hire and work with in the future knowing what I know to be true through his passion for his job, his generosity of time and effort, his true care for you to not only win your case, but for what you're going through, and more. Robert offered insightful details of the procedure for my case, prepped me with what I needed to be overly prepared for trial, and even met with me in person, taking the time to drive up toward the Orange County area to make sure I felt confident with my case. I truly can't explain how much stress he took away during a very stressful, difficult time. It's EXACTLY what all clients wish to have with lawyer; someone who is not only knowledgeable, and very good with his craft, but someone who makes you feel confident, calm, collected, prepared, and consistently at ease. Robert did this for me. I would have never gotten through my case without his help, guidance, professionalism, and care for justice. He brought things to the table that I, as a client not knowing the law in detail, would never have known if it was not for him. He knows so much that not only helped me be prepared, but because of his guidance, I WON my case and was able to put a tough time behind me. The law, court cases, trials, judges, all these things that we as people such as me are not familiar with, can be a tough, very complicated atmosphere, so you truly need the right attorney and Robert is THE right attorney for the job. I cannot recommend him enough and I guarantee you will get the best professional for the job when you hire him. I am beyond happy to have worked with him and I am extremely grateful for his attention to detail, his guidance and thorough explanations of all aspects of the law and what to expect, his kindness, generosity, commitment, and overall professional guidance in my case. I recommend him to the highest level possible and I urge you to hire him for your case/help/legal guidance. Thank you Robert for everything, you are truly excellent!
