ABOUT ME:
Robert Lee Hamilton grew up in Northern California; graduated from Red Bluff High School where he was a starting offensive and defensive tackle for the undefeated Spartan Football Team – and took his place on the podium for placing 4th in the California State Wrestling Championships.
After high school, Mr. Hamilton ventured to Alaska and pursued a career as a commercial fisherman for ten years. He was on the cover of National Fisherman in the summer of 1987 [FV Pegasus]; in 1988/89 he fished the Bering Sea for Snow Crab on the FV Alaskan Monarch [often seen on the TV show "Deadliest Catch" and other documentaries]; in 1989, he purchased a commercial fishing boat and permit, which he operated for 5 years; and in May of 1992, became a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine Officer.
Mr. Hamilton has a bachelor's degree in journalism, with a minor in business, from CSU, Chico, and a Juris Doctor from Cal Northern School of Law (Chico, California). While in law school, he was elected for two consecutive terms as President of the Student Bar Association, appointed lead counsel for the prevailing party at the school's moot court competition, and passed the California Bar Exam without taking the conventional bar review courses.
While in law school, Mr. Hamilton started an Attorney Services business. The business quickly expanded as he began providing eviction services for attorneys and pro per litigants; paralegal services for attorneys; process serving, court filings, fax filings, skip tracing; along with mobile notary and certified loan signing services. During law school, Mr. Hamilton also authored a treatise entitled the "Attorney's Guide to Professional Process Serving".
Mr. Hamilton's unusual success and legal experience is the result of ingenuity, hard work, and an innate sense of justice. Mr. Hamilton understands, first hand, the emotional plight of anyone caught up in the legal system. His style of litigation is courageous, relentless, passionate – and often creative. No one will work harder to get you a just result than Robert Lee Hamilton.

I met Mr. Hamilton at a three day "Standardized Field Sobriety Testing" [SFST] training, in Oakland, in October 2009. Since that time, I've also witnessed his involvement on the California DUI Lawyers Association list-serve, wherein the best DUI attorneys in this State, share information with each other relevant to DUI defense. The information he shares and the issues he raises demonstrate an understanding of DUI cases, that the casual practitioner just doesn't possess. This is a complex area of law to practice in. It involves a deep understanding of science, law and the politics of representing persons accused of a crime that the public, prosecution and judiciary appear to believe people should simply plead guilty to. He speaks in a simple and straight forward way. It's very much like talking to a neighbor. You don't need big words and Latin phrases that lawyers learn in law school. You simply need to know what you are facing and what your options are.

I have known Robert for a few years and have always been impressed with his ability as an attorney. I have been impressed because of his care of the client, attention to detail, aggressiveness, and proactive attitude. Furthermore, Robert has a very practical and appropriate approach to the law - do no harm to the client. This appears to be expressed in his demeanor with opposing counsel as well as his temperment before the court. All around, my opinion of Robert is as an excellent attorney. You would be hard pressed to find a better attorney.

He is but one of a handful of Attorneys trainned in the art of proper performace of Field Sobriety Test, which is a huge assest in defending any DUI matter. If you are thinking of hiring Robert, don't hesitate! Consider yourself lucky if he takes your case....
