I spoke with Attorney Kopelson (Robert) last week concerning a traffic accident (rear-end collision).
I respectfully disagree with the very few negative Yelp reviews of Robert. I think the review gives an unfair, one-sided depiction of Robert's personality.
After speaking with Robert over the phone during a consultation with him, here are some of my honest reflections:
---He generously gave me time to tell him about my case
and to holistically understand my situation.
-- He listened, asked me the right questions, and gave me sound legal advice based on all the relevant information I provided.
---He was forthright and honest throughout our entire conversation.
---He showed skill in being able to place himself in the position of the other side and to thoughtfully consider the other side's arguments.
---He demonstrated ethical discernment as he evaluated my case.
---Robert was friendly and open, which made talking with him and getting to know him a truly enjoyable experience. I wish I could have spent more time talking to him!
I believe Robert makes a true difference in people's lives, one contact and one case at a time.
I highly recommend you calling Attorney Kopelson if you have any questions concerning a personal injury and want to talk to an ethical, honest, experienced (40-year law practice), sharp, smart, and exceptional person/attorney to represent you.
Mr. Robert answered a question I had on Avvo and even though he could not take our legal malpractice case against an attorney that handled over settlement funds to A third party without the consent of the attorneys client we appreciate him calling us in answering and talking and giving advice on what to do for over an hour on the telephone. There is not too many attorneys that would take an hour out of their day to get a free legal advice to a party they are not representing so we thank him very much and we want him to be recognized that’s why if you ever need a great attorney that is very passionate and caring and that will fight for you this is the attorney for you blessings ..

highly recommend
My wife and daughter had a car accident one year ago. They both were serious injured and our car was completely totaled. The another driver denied her responsibility, even though there was an eyewitness. and she only has limited insurance.
Luckily we found Mr. Robert Kopelson through Internet. During my first phone call, Mr. Robert attentively answered all my questions and concerns. After he got more details, he clearly told us what we should do and what would happen. It turned out that everything happened as he said.
As our attorney, Robert fought hard for our best interest. He dealt with the car insurance companies, the hospitals and our health insurance company in a professional way. We finally got the results we expected, even better.
Robert always answer our questions timely. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share with his clients. When I sent him an email, a response would be there in 2 or 3 hours, never be late than the next morning.
I highly recommend Dr. Robert to anyone who needs help regarding personal injury.

Amazing
Robert was not able to handle my case due it being an out of state injury, which I was told by his receptionist during my initial phone call. He still took the time out of his busy schedule to personally call me back and answer many of my questions as well as did a search for possible attorneys I could use. If he goes that above and beyond for someone he is not representing i can only imagine what he does for his actual clients. the world needs more caring and genuine people like him.

The most helpful lawyer you will find
Robert has been our family lawyer for a long time now. Anytime I need advice, Robert is the first person I call. With every issue or inquiry I've had Robert always takes his time to explain the issue to me and what we can do to solve it. He always gives me his honest advice and never holds back from providing excellent service. Robert is very easy to reach and if he is not available he always tries his best to reach out to you as soon as possible. If you want someone with character and integrity to help with your problems I definitely would call Robert.

Unparalleled personal injury representation
Ethical, trustworthy, honest and a tireless work ethic with meticulous attention to every imaginable detail that has even a remote chance of affecting the ultimate disposition of one's case. This is a good start in describing my experiences with legal representation provided by Mr. Kopelson.
After my daughter was involved in a serious accident, the last thing I anticipated was being able to use many of the above adjectives to describe an attorney we ultimately selected to represent her. I expected the normal difficulties with communication, lack of proper attention to detail and the status quo with respect to interactions and follow-up, which one would envision in a typical personal injury case. However, Mr. Kopelson's brilliant handling of my daughter's case actually served to shatter many of my preconceived perceptions and prior experiences with legal representation.
It is hard to imagine actually believing an attorney would continually place their client's best interests at the forefront of a legal case's respective priority list until the litigation was ultimately settled. Again, Mr. Kopelson defied all expectations in this regard. It is difficult to describe the relief I felt upon finally realizing that my normal tendency of second guessing every move and detail was no longer required.
To know that my daughter's attorney was fighting tooth and nail for her best interests provided an immense degree of comfort and relieved me of a significant amount of anxiety any dad would feel in a similar situation.
I am not an individual who is easily impressed, nor one to pen accolades unnecessarily, however, I can say unequivocally that I truly feel that we could not have asked for better legal representation or a more diligent, conscientious and harder working attorney than Robert.
In closing, I can state that my expectations were exceed by an immense degree in every aspect by Mr. Kopelson, and I would not hesitate referring any friend or family member to him!

Wonderful service
Mr. Kopelson had answered a question on AVVO I asked which was the best answer I received, from what I could ascertain, so I called his office to thank him, saying I didn't need to talk to him directly, just to please thank him. I was asked to hold and Mr. Kopelson came on, remembered the question, and then spent time speaking with me regarding the question further, adding information that was incredibly helpful, even though he is not able to be my attorney because of the geographical distance and time frame. I was really amazed that he took so much time to discuss things and educate me. Thank you, Mr. Kopelson!

Robert is GREAT!!!
11/21/14 - Robert is absolutely wonderful! He went completely out of his way for me and he had no obligation or reason to do so. I can imagine he would provide the highest level of detail and attention to his clients and if I ever have a need(but, let's hope not... just because of the type of law he practices ;-) I would want someone like Robert on my team, I get the sense that he is a fighter (for his clients).
In such a short time, I am impresses this this gentleman
Thanks much Robert!
With kind regards,

Straightforwardness and Clarity
Mr. Kopelson answered my question promptly and clearly, and he cited the applicable law, which saved me time.
Since my issue was a name change, and this is not his field, he did not write his response in such a way as to imply that his answer was perfect or correct. I'm impressed by that.

Compassionate
I was at my wits end and caught Mr. Kopelson in his office Swamped! He took the time to Listen to me, Explain, what I Needed to do to be successful in Hopefully winning my case. Note, hopefully. All the while he was honest, compassionate, did not try to rush me off the phone; he spent nearly an hour helping me. I feel equipped to go into battle!

Highly recommend!!!
I needed legal advice from an at fault auto accident. Although Mr. Kopelson wasn't the "right" type of attorney... he was well informed. He didn't leave me hanging, he talked to me quite a while, told me what would probably happen, what I need to do and gave me references. It was a tough conversation to hear.... which is exactly what I needed. I was lost... he guided me. And I thank him very much.

I very highly recommend Mr. Kopelson
I had an extremely difficult case that was made a lot easier to deal with especially emotionally, as Mr. Kopelson dealt with me and also my family in a completely compassionate manner throughout our entire ordeal. He never failed to return my calls and sincerely took his time to explain every tiny detail to me. He listened attentively, was so knowledgeable and I never felt like I had to keep repeating myself which meant a lot especially during that difficult time. He always went the extra mile to give of his time, kept me updated always and made me feel that he truly cared. He spoke to me warmly and genuinely and never "above me". I could feel how dedicated he was about our case - it always showed. That is hard to find in a lawyer who's been practicing as long as he has, I believe. I very highly recommend his services.

A lawyer that cares.
Our case was difficult as it pertained to the wrongful death of a parent. Mr. Kopelson was the first lawyer that we found that was interested in taking the case.
He did an absolutely fabulous job. As difficult a time as it was for me, he helped
me through it all with caring and concern. Alot of work and alot of time, but in the
end it was resolved to everyones satisfaction. I would, and have recommended
Mr. Kopelson to friends and family and would recommend him to anyone who wants someone they can trust and know can do a great job.

Personal Injury Trial Lawyer
Mr. Robert Kopelson helps my wife through a very traumatic sexual assault personal injury case. He explained the sobering facts surrounding our case and offered to take the case even though recovering an award would not happen. We did prevail in a civil trial and are trying to find assets from the defendant. Mr. Kopelson did bring us the justice my wife and I so badly needed. We are very thankful for his efforts and kindness during this whole ordeal.
