Robert T Scherzer

When I needed a new lawyer, as my prior attorney consistently gave me legal reasons why we could not take action to protect my children, I interviewed several lawyers. Mr. Scherzer was the only one who clearly prioritized the well being of my children. He was immediately successfully in taking act...ion to protect my kids whereas my prior attorney had failed. Since then, we have had to amend and change parenting orders recurrently. Each time he has been successful, efficient and rapid. He has been effective in non-parenting issues as well, each time we've gone to court we've done well, and he's done a good job with "client control" (ie. encouraging me NOT to waste time and money on things we're not going to win). He's not a "TV lawyer", ie. loud and boisterous, but he speaks when he should and knows when speaking up will just irritate the judge and so should stay quiet. Billing is reasonable as well.

I am a retired businessman. Robert Scherzer is the worst employee ever. Robert Scherzer heads my list, as the most horrible person I can imagine hiring, to represent me in a legal matter. Early on, in my custody hearing, Robert complained that he doesn't sleep well at night. I figured out his problem.... He doesn't sleep well at night because he sleeps all day in court. I also asked him if he would take my direction and ask the questions that I wanted him to ask. He agreed, but failed miserably. Despite his encouragement, that I had a 75 to 85% chance of victory, he lost. Then, he informed me that WE may have left ourselves open to some opposition attorney fees. I am thankful that I fired him and represented myself, in the attorney fee hearing. I think I was infinitely more convincing than he would have been and was able to limit my losses. After this debacle, I asked my 90 year old mother to describe Robert Scherzer's performance. Her one word response was "PANIC". I completely agree. I also sincerely accuse him of excessive billing, for his ridiculously poor services. No stars! Refund owed! Richard

Robert is the best attorney you could possibly hire. He is compassionate, empathetic, a great listener, and very calm. My case was very complicated and there was only one case in the entire country that paralleled that of mine. He researched and consulted with many attorneys as well as constantly k...eeping me abroad of our circumstances. He is kind and knowledgeable and fought for me every single minute of every single day. I would not wish divorce on anyone, but if you find yourself in that situation, Robert is the one you want to go to. He is very well respected By his colleagues and even fellow divorce attorneys. And his assistant, Kelli is as equally kind and compassionate. If Robert were not my attorney, he would be my friend. Well, I will actually consider him my friend. Because he helped me turn the worst situation of my life into something I can cope with.

I retained Robert in January 2016 to help me win custody and as much parenting time possible of my young son. We've been working together over a year now, and I can't imagine having any other attorney on my team. From the start Robert encouraged me to take the high road against my ex-husband. Our ...legal strategy focused on how I had always been and would continue to be the primary parent, and not on debasing my ex-husband. This felt good to me because it honored my ex-husband's role in my son's life and was consistent with my personal values. We stayed the course over 12 months, through hearings and a deposition and finally 3 days of trial. Robert's calm and thoughtful legal advice never wavered from our initial strategy, and it was clear to me from the judge's response and verdict that it was the right strategy. We did win everything we asked for, and I am eternally grateful that Robert was my attorney in this case. I still call him to talk through challenging situations with my ex-husband, and always feel better after I do.

I came to Robert by way of a referral from an attorney friend of mine. He spoke highly of Robert personally, his skills as an attorney, and of his integrity. I worked with Robert for the duration of my divorce proceedings over an 18 month period. He was excellent to work with throughout: from prel...iminary consultation, all the way through the proceedings, and to post-settlement follow-up consultations. I found him to be fair, level-headed, thorough, collaborative, interested in the ultimate outcome, representing my interests to the fullest, and able to draw from his decades of experience in the Family Law. He was invaluable in the resolution of my divorce. I was completely satisfied with the outcome. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone in need of Family Law services.
