Incredible Attorney

Bob was referred to me by a dear trusted friend. I purchased a commercial property in 2013 along with 3 other individuals. Those 3 individuals were related to each other, not to me. 3 years later 2 of the 3 individuals approached me about selling my interest to them for $30,000. We had each invest...ed $25,000. I declined their offers. Little did I know my 3 partners had already consulted with realtors, it turned out the property had over a half a million dollars in equity on an initial $100,000 joint investment. I found out months later the property was in escrow and I was never consulted or advised of the sale. These two brothers and their father intended to keep my initial investment and my more than $100,000 profit. You see one of the brothers is an attorney who thinks he is always the smartest guy in the room. It turns out that "Dim Bulb" attorney was no match for Bob Bright. Bob's last name is an incredible accurate adjective for who he is. Bob had 4 business days to effectively secure a temporary restraining order on escrow from the civil court. Escrow closed as scheduled all of the liens and third parties were satisfied and over a half a million dollars remained in the possession of the court. Litigation went on for an entire year. Bob was 10 steps ahead of my conspiring ex-partners at every stage. Bob's research on case law was amazing. My ex-partner, the attorney, was completely out matched. Bob ultimately negotiated a settlement prior to trial. I am not allowed to disclose the terms of the settlement. What I can disclose is that after Bob's fees were paid, my proceeds were far beyond what I would have received had my partners included me in the sale proceedings and not tried to abscond my investment and profit. The bad news is that my ex-partner the attorney will get to keep his law license for now. Bob Bright is beyond honest and he is always accessible.

Thank You Bob. Sent with my Highest Recommendation!!!

I first met Bob, went he became our Company's Attorney. Bob, actually was much much more. He assisted us with Marketing, Research, Counsel, actually Bob was involved and gave counsel in every part of our business. It's not easy to separate your Business from your personal Relationship. with him. Bo...b, was always responsive, willing to help, and gave very valued advice. I can tell you that he is a highly knowledgeable lawyer, who if he doesn't know the answer will get it quickly. He works 24/7. I've spoken with him late at night, early in the morning, and when he was attending a friend's wedding. I've worked with many Lawyers, and no one comes close to this man as a partner in your business. I could not give him a higher recommendation.

This Attorney Will Work For You Like No Other

A few years ago I had the honor and pleasure of benefiting from the unparalleled experience, dedication, and professional services provided by Robert E. Bright. His extensive experience , his keen mind, and intimate knowledge of the law were the perfect combination to prevail in what was a rather com...plex case. My gratitude for the second to none legal representation offered by Mr. Bright cannot be entirely expressed in words and is one of the reasons why I continue to refer friends and colleagues who find themselves in need for an outstanding attorney. Mr. Bright was honest in his assessment of the case and while the reality of some of his legal opinions were hard to accept at time, he never made promises he could not keep. In addition to providing factual information, Mr. Bright explained his legal strategy in great detail and in the process would spend as much time as necessary to answer questions that arouse from his explanations. Finally, Mr. Bright made himself available and promptly returned calls and e-mails many of which resulted from thinking about the information he had provided during previous consultations. In the end, not only did Mr. Bright provide excellent legal services, but he also changed my perceptions of individuals in the legal field.
