Highly recommend

I was represented by Robert Adolph and his team for more than a year culminating in an eight day trial. I am in awe and eternal gratitude for his diligent and detailed work. I was represented at all times by professionals. Many times I entered the court room surrounded by a team of four men, each experts in their field. Each and every person on his team was knowledgeable and available at all times. From the day I first stepped into his office until the wire transfers were put in my account I knew I was represented by the best! I highly recommend Robert Adolph and his team to anyone who wants and demands representation of the highest quality.

Manging Director

I have known Bob since the early 1990's when I came in contact with him through his representation of a mutual client. Later, in a very complex and protrated high-profile contract dispute, I chose him to represent me personally for three major reasons: First, I had seen him in action and was impressed with his skills as a trial lawyer, Second, he was recommended by a friend that I trusted, and Finally, I had observed that he headed a botique firm where the partners did the work, not a phalanx of associates. That made their efforts, in my view, more efficient and effective. I also knew that they won their cases. My original assessment of Mr. Adolph as a trial lawyer was not only confirmed but amplified by the outcome of our litigation. Clearly, in a crowded room of lawyers, he stood out. He is the best trial attorney I have encountered and it stems from the fact that he stays engaged and alert. He’s smart, knows the facts, strengths and weaknesses of the case and is relentless in pursuing a winning strategy. I would unequivocally endorse him and will hire him again in any significant matter that I have.
