Professional Attorney and Staff

Mr. Deller is an excellent Family Law Attorney. He is knowledgeable, straightforward, and listens to his clients. Deller provides the perfect mix of aggressive representation and reasonable fees. It took 3 years for my case to be finalized. During that time, Mr. Deller and his staff patiently answe...red my questions. Unlike some of the other attorneys who “phoned it in”, Mr. Deller was always present with me at court and always had my back. Mr. Deller negotiated an excellent settlement for me without the added cost of going to trial. I am pleased that I chose Mr. Deller to represent me in my divorce.

Five out of five stars

If you have a protracted and contentious custody dispute, I highly recommend attorney Robert Deller. I don’t write reviews, typically and I went through many attorneys before I found one that could effectively litigate, size up the situation and minimize costs. Mr. Deller’s both professional and... well prepared. He effectively anticipates counter arguments as he advocates your case. So many attorneys that I worked with would talk “tough” in their office During consultations. However, in the court room their “toughness” would dissipate. This is not the case with Robert Deller.

A MASTER NEGOTIATOR

Knowing I would need an aggressive attorney for my case, (car accident not looking to favorable for me), I did some research of my own. Although many of Mr. Deller's reviews are for family law, I booked a consult. Mr. Deller is personable, with a very keen wit and sense of humor too. He listened atte...ntively as I conveyed what I dared hope my outcome to be. With a refreshing, positive upbeat demeanor, he constructed a preliminary plan of direction. (All this before I retained him) As we went through the legal process, I can truely state that I was in constant awe of Mr. Deller's litigation and negotiation abilities. He is AWESOME! Additionally, I appreciated that not only Mr. Deller, but his staff always made my case feel like a priority. Upon conclusion of my case, he more than exceeded my highest hopes. I recommend him highly. Thank You Mr. Deller

Aggressive and Sharp!!

My legal matters were not handled properly by my previous attorney. Some attorneys just do not have what it takes. I contacted Robert Deller based on his well known professional reputation. He is gifted and brilliant in the field of family law. He supports my goals throughout my matter (within reaso...n), and is unwavering in his commitment to represent me zealously. He formed a strategy for my unique case, to get the best resolution possible. His dedication, commitment, his authenticity, and genuine care for his clients makes him one-of-a-kind. He is well known, and is able to easily navigate through the court room with complete confidence. He will fight for you!! I know I am in good hands, and highly recommend Robert Deller.

Divorce Attorney

Mr Deller is a very good attorney. Very personable and easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable in family law, specifically divorce law. He has knowledge of and a good working relationship with the other attorneys in town as well as the judges. He represented me in my dissolution of marriage and mo...re recently in an order to modify spousal support. During our pre-trial consultations he explained to me what to expect and what type of questions I would be asked during trial so I would be prepared.The only complaint I have was that his staff was slow in returning phone calls and e-mails and unable to answer my questions during my original divorce in 2012. In my more recent case regarding spousal support,the staff was much more responsive and able to answer my questions. Mr Deller brought my case to a successful conclusion in February 2015.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2011

updated on 01/20/2016

This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.

Robert’s comment:

“Approximately 2 yrs. ago, a client retained me via telephone. The Client couldn't/wouldn't come into office to sign the necessary documents. Instead, the client instructed me to sign her name. i did as the client asked however, neglected to sign it as "by" or "for". When the client demanded a return of fees, which were earned, and was met with a refusal, a complaint was lodged with the State Bar with the allegation that I forged her signature. The State Bar issued sanctions accordingly.”
