Very happy with how quick I was able to get some information about my situation. It was short and kind of not what I was looking for but that is my fault and I just needed to be more clear, but I am Super thankful..

Robert did a great job for me
I own a small retail business and Robert handled a shoplifting case for me awhile back. He handled all the necessary legwork and kept me up to date with regular reports. With his help I was able to get a settlement out of court which was more than satisfactory. I highly recommend Robert.
