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.

Robert helped me with my divorce. He is of course an expert in the field with decades of experience; that kind of goes without saying. Technical skills are unquestionable. More than that, he has a common-sense and practical approach to family law matters that I found both calming and effective. He st...arted out with a low-key cooperative strategy, but when it was quickly apparent we needed to be more directive, he was able to revise the strategy quickly. He was very responsive, reachable in emergencies after hours, and did a great job of calming me down when I got caught up in the emotion of the process. I can particularly recommend Robert for cases involving contested custody issues.
