The Best
I could not have asked for better representation. Rob is a great advocate and communicator. His fees are very reasonable for the high value received. I would give Rob 6 stars if I could.

Good representation
Rob represented me in my divorce and I was very pleased with his level of expertise, professionalism, and willingness to listen to my desired outcomes. His calm and knowledgeable approach to the process was greatly appreciated.
"I've had two collaborative cases with Rob and I've been impressed with him in both. He's an excellent communicator, organized, and he does a great job focusing on the big picture. Working with him has made me a better attorney. If you're looking for a collaborative divorce attorney you would do well to hire Rob."
"Rob’s integrity and diligence bring honor to our profession. For many years, I’ve had the pleasure of sitting around the table with Rob on cases where he has been a mediator, a collaborative attorney and a litigator. Although he is one of the mostly highly regarded family law litigation attorneys in Whatcom County, Rob is a peacemaker to the core. Rob’s commitment to solving problems is strongly enhanced by his sincerity, compassion and experience. I’ve never known an attorney who cares more about helping his clients than Rob does. I highly recommend Rob for anyone who wants to resolve their legal problems with efficiency and effectiveness."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked closely with Robert on a number of cases. He is highly ethical and has a terrific work ethic. I appreciate the fact that he really cares about his clients and works very hard for their interests. I have referred clients to Robert. That is the highest form of reference you will ever receive from a fellow attorney."
"Rob is one heck of a fine lawyer! He is highly professional in every way and extremely knowledgeable. I enjoy working with him whenever I can."
