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 exp...erts 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 impresse...d 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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
