The Absolute Best

Hiring Rob Cossey was the best thing I could have done in my terrible legal situation. I was violently assaulted and wrongfully accused of being the assailant in early 2023. I was charged with second degree DV assault with strangulation. This was a horrific ordeal for myself and my family. The entire... charge was DISMISSED after 5 months because he successfully was able to prove that I was not the assailant, I was the victim. He is obviously very well respected in the legal community. As you can imagine, in the aftermath of being assaulted, I was not in the best place, but he communicated with me so well. He was responsive, honest, up front, but also assuring and grounding. He even made me laugh multiple times and I appreciated that. His wife Shirley was also just such a sweetheart and added such a good balance to their partnership in representing me. Multiple times they went out of their way to support me and assure me. Rob and Shirley believed in me the entire time, which meant the world, and they worked as quickly as the system would allow them to in order to resolve the situation. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Not only did they dismiss the charge, the prosecution recognized I was not the assailant, which meant a lot for me to know. I would recommend Rob to anyone and am FOREVER so grateful to him and Shirley and the rest of the office for EVERYTHING. Shout out to Kelly, as well, for being a firecracker and representing me in the PO portion of all of this. She was also just fantastic. Everyone in the office was so kind to me, treated me with dignity, and worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome!! A million thanks to them and a huge recommendation to anyone looking for legal representation (specifically in my case a criminal defense attorney and protection order representation).

results oriented

I have hired Rob Cossey and his firm for two separate occassions and in both of them I was able to walk away with the best result possible. Without Rob's network of relations within the judicial system, including prosecuting attorneys, and other lawyers, I would have been stewed over an open fire on ...both occassions. Not only is he well connected, and respected by the opposing prosecutors, but a very sharp and astute lawyer- able to quickly read a situation and react with efficiency to any emerging situation. I've read several of the negative reviews on this site when i decided to write my own testimonial, and noticed that there are "several" reviews about the SAME thing coming from multiple persons? seemed suspicious to me that someone would complain about the same family law custody case over and over, under different names.. If you ever have the opportunity to speak in person with Rob about your legal case then I know you will see right through those bad reviews just like I do. Anyways, I highly recommend Rob Cossey if you want to WIN. This guy has a very high standard and when you hire him you get a lot more than you can possibly expect, at a reasonable and fair price. I was so thankful to have him represent me, otherwise I think I'd probably be in jail for a crime I didn't commit- but something he was able to prove in court!! If you want a sharp mind and want to WIN instead of mediate over the course of a year, THIS IS YOUR GUY!

WOULD HIRE AGAIN!

Mr Cossey was referred to me for representation in a criminal defense case. I hired him and will be forever grateful that I made this decision. Odds were unfairly stacked against me. Rob exposed the truth to the jury and he made "right" out of a challenging situation. He is always professional, s...ets expectations from the start and most importantly knows how to perform under pressure. Would definitely hire him again.

lesson learned

I hired Mr. Robert Cossey & it is my firm belief that he is incompetent of most everything in regards to being a " Lawyer " . He will never return a single call & he will not call you ! or return your emails for 3 weeks or more & you will be left with a waste of time and money & be no better o...ff than you were before you hired him . Honestly you will be much better off accepting a court appointed lawyer & if you have a criminal case of any kind please for your own sake find another law firm . DO NOT do not by any means hire him for any type of legal help with custody or even a parenting plan . Lesson learned
