Robert Mar

Robert Mar is a seasoned and motivated attorney that displayed genuine concern for my situation. He provided sound advise and direction that I may not have wanted to hear at the time, but proved to be the best course of action for my case. Rob has a very sharp legal mind and through his expertise and... dedication, provided a very positive outcome for me. Robert always had a positive attitude and was more than willing to talk when I needed to ask about any new developments. I would highly recommend Robert Mar.

Robert Mar has been very helpful in my difficult divorce, telling me what to do and what to avoid in a very sticky situation. He has consistently responded quickly and accurately and let me know the realistic situations as they advise. He has also been cheerful, helpful and counseled me wisely at eve...ry turn- I recommend him highly.

We are very pleased with the services provided by Robert Mar and his company, Goldberg and Jones. Yes, it all cost money, but the outcome was tremendously positive for our side, thanks mostly to Robert Mar's keen mind. As the case progressed, he identified an area that was not immediately obvious. ... After consulting with us, he followed that route, and voila! The case dissolved and we won! He kept in touch with us as events unfolded throughout the course of this child custody nightmare. He explained what was going on, oftentimes with patience since we are not lawyers and do not understand all the legalese or court protocols. We whole-heartedly recommend Robert Mar to anyone needing legal help. On a personal level, he is a very nice person, available and attentive to his clients.

Rob is a dedicated, rational, realistic divorce attorney. He was ready to defend my position but always weighed in with the realistic probabilities for an outcome. He was thoughtful about mitigating costs as our process took over a year. He has deep resources at his firm of Goldberg Jones, they ar...e very consultative.

In hindsight, if I had the opportunity to select another company I would have done so. Overall, I was very disappointed in the services I received for the money I paid. I expected a dedicated advocate, not a paper-shuffler. I contacted your company because I had originally contacted Goldberg Jones... in 2010 for a phone consultation and I thought the level of experience advertised would serve me well. When I decided to use your services, I did not consider the expensive hourly rate until I had spent tens of thousands of dollars for little results. Every time I got an expensive invoice, it listed mostly administrative activities. I got the impression I was just one out of many clients, without any demonstration of real concern, passion or strategy for my individual case. The rate, I understand, was set by the company. However, I got the impression over the course of the proceedings that my attorney was for the most part a highly-paid paper shuffler who dedicated little energy to the case. Just one of many. Go with the flow. File this, send that, answer e-mails. No definitive strategy. Mostly react, little attack. A ho-hum approach with little interaction. Very standard, predictable administrative activities. When I asked for advice, I was told on several occasions: "what do you think we should do?" We hire attorneys to give us advice, not ask for it. I was very disappointed in his perceived level of attention to my case. On two instances he said "I don't remember if I sent this to you." This was based on information sent from my ex-wife's attorney to him, and relevant to the case, and sent to me several days later. I'm sure Robert Mar is a capable attorney, but he needs to pay more attention to being an convincing advocate for his clients. He needs to instill confidence that the client's interests are foremost. I never got that impression.
