Hiring Rob as my attorney, was one of the BEST decisions of my life!!!

I came to Attorney, Robert Schwartz, after being arrested for some horrible decisions I had made. He immediately made me feel comfortable with his non judge mental demeanor and down to earth personality. He then proceeded to start talking about strategies and a final optimum goal (considering the c...harges) to work towards. His knowledge of the law was complete. My case got stretched out over a 6 month period and Rob was there for me the entire time. He fought relentlessly and reached the optimum goals set from the beginning. I can’t thank Rob enough for his hard work, dedication, complete knowledge of the law and would recommend his services to anyone in my situation.

Dedicated, Helpful, above all else, Reassuring

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney, Mr. Schwartz is dedicated to his clients and his craft. He is outwardly charismatic and always knew how to reassure me throughout the entire legal process. He was also extremely helpful to me as we both navigated our way to the best possible outcome from m...y situation.

Professional, Compassionate, Results-Oriented -- I would Never Go Anywhere Else

It is absolutely unbelievable how fast your world can change. Without notice, with a single action -- your entire life can go from great to the most scary possible place. We needed a good criminal lawyer. In fact, we needed an outstanding lawyer because this person was someone whose hands we were... placing our entire future into. We found that with Robert Schwartz. From the moment I called him, he took time immediately to learn the details of our situation and give us direction about what needed to be done. He met with us multiple times, and even made sure he was representing us legally on the phone during out-of-state meetings about our legal issue. He was never impatient, and returned all of our calls and emails incredibly fast. He also has a very compassionate demeanor. Don't let that fool you. While his ability to put us at ease and help to reduce our stress was amazing, so, too, was his tenacity and determination to fight and win. He was very prepared and his knowledge of the judicial system, of the courts, and of the people in his town was unparalleled. Even while in court, he continued to reassure us and keep us totally informed. When you put your life, or your future, in someone's hands, you need that someone to be professional, precise, prepared, excellent at what he does and compassionate. Rob is all of those things and I would not go to anyone else when in big trouble.

So kind and caring, THE BEST!

Robert Schwartz was an amazing lawyer, he helped me during a very difficult time and continued to help after the issue had originally been resolved. He went above and beyond to make sure that I was treated fairly and appropriately and stood up for me. I can't thank you enough, Robert, for all that... you have done. Whether you're in need of a lawyer for a minor traffic violation or a criminal charge, Mr. Schwartz will not disappoint.

Best in the area!

When I ran into my legal issues, Mr. Schwartz was my first choice. I met with several other people and he was by far the best choice. I had several charges facing a bit of trouble. I had no prior record and clearly knew nothing going into my court case. He worked above and beyond with me explaining a...nything I needed along the way. Mr Schwartz guided me in making the best decisions possible in bettering my future and moving on. He is an easy going guy with true compassion and care for his work. I am m out of state resident so its very nice to be have a representative you can just call or email rather then having to go in t their office or meeting. I could not be happier with how my case has turned out.
