As previously stated...Rob is one of the top attorneys in personal injury in the state. I would trust him, without hesitation, if I were in need of a personal injury attorney for my own family. He is caring, effective, and fair. View More

Rob has the calm demeanor needed to effectively advocate for his client, while simultaneously having the confidence to know that he can convince a jury that he is right, when he needs to.

Q. Please rate this lawyer on the following:

Legal Knowledge: Excellent

Rob has been a "go to" lawyer for many that he has worked with - in the areas of premises liability and federal 1983 cases, in particular. Rob is no stranger to hard work and research in order to ensure that he is up to date with current trends and decisions so as to advice his clients.

Legal Analysis: Excellent

As stated above, Rob works hard to know the law, and he has a keen ability to apply that knowledge to the facts of a given case. His analysis is spot on, and his counsel is sought by clients and colleagues, alike.

Communication Skills: Excellent

Probably the best oral communicator I have met in 24 years of practicing law. He thinks before he speaks, and is clear in his delivery.

Ethics and Professionalism: Excellent

He is to be trusted - without question. You could play poker with him over the phone (if he trusted you back).

Q. For which practice area(s) would you recommend this lawyer?
Personal Injury: automobile collisions, premises liability, slip & fall cases. Federal: 1983 police brutality cases.

I only checked the ones I recall observing. He may possess the others as well. Rob is a natural leader, in addition to being supremely effective in the courtroom.
