Robert Edward Wanker

I initially hired Robert to prepare my family's wills, living wills, and healthcare proxies. He did it all timely, exactly to our specifications, and for a much more reasonable fee than other attorneys quoted me. He was polite, professional, and spent a lot of time making sure we were satisfied. H...e even came to us, rather than make us go to him, to notarize our documents. (House calls from an attorney!) Later I hired him to probate a will for my mother's estate. Again, he did everything quickly and efficiently. It wasn't a huge estate, so we were worried about paying a huge legal bill. Not with Robert. He understood our position and lowered his normal charges for us. Finally, I hired him to file a personal injury lawsuit. (I didn't even know he did that kind of law when I called to ask him for a referral.) He took my case, did the investigation, handled the depositions, and settled the case before we even had to go to trial. I didn't have to pay him anything out of my own pocket. He took a percentage of the money he negotiated for my settlement. (He said if he didn't get me any money, I wouldn't have had to pay him anything at all, even after all his work on my behalf.) I would recommend Robert to anyone with an estate matter, a will to draw up, or a personal injury matter. I would recommend consulting with him about any other kinds of cases too. If he can't help you, he'll recommend someone who can.

I hired him in 1989 when I used to live in Brooklyn. After I paid the landlord to rent her house, she did not let me move in and did not want to return the money. A friend referred me to him and he prepared the case for me to go to small claim court, trained me, used a lot of his time on me and did a... minimal charge for his services and I won the case. I always remember him for being honest and nice and now I found him through this website and wante to do the rating. I have not seen him since then and I live for more than 30 years in another state. Grate lawyer and honest and good man.

The attorney represented the executor of my grandmother's estate, a house in Brooklyn. He not only acted as the attorney for the estate but acted as a real estate agent , selling the house against our wishes. He then moved the proceeds of the estate out of an escrow account and then refused to pay t...he money owed to the beneficiaries, although he paid himself $90,000 and paid the executor. We still do not have our money and are filing a grievance complaint and a complaint with the bar association. The DA told us he acted improperly and may be laible for the amount owed to us because he has not protected the money.
