Posted by me | December 11, 2014 | Child Custody

Great Advocate who listens and gives you realistic expectations of your case.

Robert represented my ex-wife and was definitely one of the best lawyers I have encountered. My attorney was VERY expensive and I was truly disappointed. She was not able to stand across from Robert in the court room. I had noticed his knowledge in the law and his real life experience combined made ...one of the best arguments. Years later I remarried and my current was just finishing her divorce and custody case. Her lawyer at the time was very passive. We hired Robert and let me say what an honor to have him on my side! Aside from what he can do in the court room he is VERY compassionate with his clients, always available and will give you all the facts so that you can make informed decisions about the next steps. I will continue to recommend him highly to those who need an outstanding lawyer! Thanks again Bob!

Civil rights lawyer | Nov 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Robert Powell on a complex civil rights litigation involving the illegal removal of children from their parents. There is certainly something to be said for working on a case with an attorney who was the attorney in the appellate court cases you are citing to the court as authority in support of your case. Powell is an elite attorney in this area of law."
