Bob Vella is an extremely good attorney

Bob Vella did a fantastic job handling my divorce. I would highly recommend him. He is a family man like the rest of us. He was responsive when I needed him. He knew divorce law well and used that knowledge in my divorce case to bring it to a acceptable conclusion.

A very satisfied client

I am using Robert Vella as my attorney for the third time in a matter of 5 or so years. Each and every meeting, phone call, appearances and all other aspects of my case have been handled in an exemplary, professional and knowledgeable manner. He always made me feel as if I was his #1 client and ac...tually cared about my case. During each and every court appearance, and there were quite a few, Mr. Vella showed up early so he can go over what I should expect and to put all my worries at ease. I am not always a calm person, but as soon as Mr. Vella arrived, I was extremely calm because I knew I was in the best of hands. I cannot stress enough how much I respect him both as a caring man and an aggressive and tough attorney. If you are in need of an attorney, you could not do better than being in the care of Robert Vella.

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.
