"I have directly witnessed Robert’s expertise and experience as both a family and immigration lawyer from our time together volunteering at pro bono legal clinics. As someone who started his legal career in the non-profit legal services sector, Robert has a gift for advocacy and exercising the right judgment to obtain the best results for his clients, even for those individuals with complicated legal matters or in difficult situations. I can attest that he has continued this commitment to achieving the best results for his clients in his private practice.

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.
