Lawyer wth experience and heart

Robert Vella represented me for several years for post-divorce hearings. Post our last hearing almost a year now, he still represents me for legal communications. I highly recommend Robert Vella. Rob is incredibly knowledgeable about the law, court system and highly respected within the system. ...It felt good to have him at my side as we walked into family court. He was always present and never sent another office attorney in his place. His Legal Assistance is professional and very responsible. If Rob was in court she made sure i knew when to expect a return call, and he always did. He put my children first and treated my case as if my children were family. Rob was compassionate and understanding of my grave financial situation and never pressured me financially. His actions are always heartfelt and never wavier. His follow through is stellar. I trusted him 100% and still do. He was always honest even when it hurts and kept me relaxed and focused. Court outcomes are sometimes unpredictable and you need to be flexible with the legal give and take, and open to compromise. Rob NEVER EVER gave in when it mattered most! And for this I am extremely grateful, grateful for life!

Couldn't ask for more

Bob was recommended to me by a mutual associate to handle my divorce. Today I recommended him to a personel friend. I was represented and treated in a compleatly professional manner. He kept me calm and focused and looking at the big picture when at times I was seeing red and not thinking very clear.... Bob always got back to me in a timely fashion and his secretary Theresa always took the time to listen to my concerns and help me with what she could. He also worked with me financially during a tough time. Extreamly happy with the results am now moving foward.

What an amazing and dynamic team

Robert Vella and his Legal Assistant Theresa were professional, responsive and brilliant. Their sense of urgency dealing with my matter was suburb. My divorce was handled quickly and professionally. I thought my divorce would never be finalized and then I contacted Robert Vella's office and they as...sured me that all necessary steps would be taken care of promptly and efficiently. They were delightful to work with. Not only were they professional but they added that personal touch that really makes a difference in dealing with such matters. It was a pleasure dealing with them both.

Honest. Professional Divorce Attorney

I have know Robert for over 35 years now and he has been my attorney for 20 of them. He has done various amounts of legal work for my family and i and with superior results. It was always a pleasure to deal with him and his staff in getting our legal issues solved. Robert has not only done my house c...losings and business openings, but he has handled my family's cases as well. He has always answered our questions quickly and honestly and was always available when we needed him. I recently went through a divorce and would only choose Robert to represent me during my difficult time. I would encourage anyone who needed legal advice in any subject to contact Robert, i'm sure he'll do an excellent job representing them.

My Rating of Bob Vella Attorney at Law

I've used Mr Vella twice in the past and the most recient time was for my divorece. He helped me out a GREAT DEAL even to the point that when he was on vacation with his family he answered my call and spoke without hesitation. In court he was very professional and at NO time was i unsure of his knowl...edge. In my eyes Bob Vella was the BEST MAN to get my divorce done. I have recommend Mr.Vella to my family and friends and Bob hasen't let them down either. With that being said I have used him and ALWAYS will use him.
