Very Professional

Bob was great to work with and handled the case in a professional manner. He updated us on the details and ensured that we were involved on key issues. While our case was not successful, Bob used his best efforts on our behalf. THANKS.

Prompt and Professional

Robert Dewberry is my first call when it comes to dealing with delinquent clients that owe us money. He has helped to recover money owed on numerous occasions. He is professional and thorough, tactful and direct. I hope I won't need him again, but I won't hesitate to contact him if I do. I know I'll ...always get a prompt response. I highly recommend him.

Excellent Lawyer

Robert Dewberry is a very well informed and experienced lawyer. I hired Mr. Dewberry to pursue seriously delinquent Accounts Receivable accounts. Mr. Dewberry was hired just before we placed the company into Bankruptcy. He is true professional who was retained by the US Trustee to continue resolution... of the major outstanding entities and individuals that owed money to the company. He is very easy to work with and very responsive. I would highly recommend Mr. Dewberry to collect AR that is in arrears.

Best Lawyer Ever

First of all, thanks for your time and efforts in regards to The Segal Redondo Beach mess. It was as much fun and entertainment as could be as a result of your candor, personality, and experience. I always appreciate the experience of working with you on any matter and I greatly rely on and heed to y...our perspective and knowledge.

A Professional!

I hired Mr. Dewberry to defend our family in a property line dispute with a new neighbor. Robert's knowledge and experience was invaluable in defending us from these gold diggers. The firm was on top of the case from the very beginning and has done an excellent job! The office staff has been very res...ponsive and helpful for us too. Thanks to Mr. Dewberry our block wall still stands today preserving the privacy of our backyard. I highly recommend this firm. R

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Robert Dewberry on a complicated intellectual property lawsuit regarding claims of patent infringement, trade secrets, and corporate issues among several defendants. His participation was vital towards handling all of the various issues while keeping the client's several companies operating while struggling with business lost from the consequences of the business dispute. Today the clients continue to operate after having passed through the litigation thanks to his help."

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.
