If you're considering hiring a domestic worker or nanny, I highly recommend speaking with Robert beforehand. Even in situations where the relationship feels "friendly," disputes can escalate quickly and unexpectedly. We experienced this firsthand when a minor disagreement with our long-term nannyrapidly turned into a complicated legal issue. It was shocking and stressful, especially given the friendly nature of our relationship. In my search for legal help, several trusted contacts recommended Robert. After speaking with three law firms, it became clear that Robert stood out. During our first conversation, I was impressed by his straightforward, no-nonsense approach and his deep understanding of domestic worker laws in California. He immediately identified weaknesses in the other party's claims and set realistic expectations regarding costs, timelines, and possible outcomes. Working with Robert was the best decision I made in this situation. He resolved the dispute swiftly and cost-effectively, leveraging his nuanced understanding of the law to our advantage. His strategic planning and ability to outmaneuver the opposing party saved me from significant expenses and further complications. If you're navigating or hoping to avoid potential legal issues with a domestic worker or nanny, Robert is the person to call. His expertise, professionalism, and results speak for themselves.

Robert was referred to me by a friend, who also happens to be an attorney, but who didn't specialize in the issues and laws regarding caregiver employment that Robert does. My mother had a conflict with a former employer as a caregiver, and when we met with Robert, he was able to see a much bigger picture of that issue, helping my mother win a settlement after mediation with the other party, all while avoiding a full blown lawsuit and trial. He is friendly, and witty, yet tactful, and clearly has a stellar understanding of employment laws, making it very easy to trust his judgment, which overall, made the whole process much less stressful than it could have been. Not having gone through anything like this before, he was very open about what to possibly expect every step of the way, giving plenty of explanation to the moves he was making in dealing with the other party, without being pushy, and letting my mother know that she had options in however she wanted to pursue the matter. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone!

Mr. Nuddleman has been so helpful in our practice. He provides us with excellent advice and patiently teaches us about employment. His services are phenomenal. He always makes sure that we are informed and updated regarding new changes in employment law.

I have been working with Mr. Nuddleman for the past 10 years. He has been an excellent resource for my small business. He provides me excellent labor law advice and education on a regular basis. His responsive and excellent service has been amazing. I highly recommend him as an attorney. I could not be happier.

Robert is an excellent employment attorney that directly helped me resolve a significant back wages issue. Since it was a significant amount of money I interviewed 4 attorneys and selected Robert (the last one that I spoke to) for several reasons including -- he was a straight talker, he clearly spelled out the employment law to me and the legal remedies I had available to me, plainly discussed the various alternative approaches that I could take, and let me know the upsides and downsides of each approach, and finally suggested how to maximize the upsides and minimize the downsides. Through numerous iterations with Robert on the legal documents, including him guiding me through legal steps to protect myself in case the former employer reneged on their commitments, I reached an agreement with the former employer to pay me all my back wages. In the end, all worked out fine as all back wages were paid to me over time and I believe the legal documents Robert helped to prepared were the exact leverage that I needed. Additionally, he was very responsive to my phone call and emails, and our face to face meetings were always productive. Bottom line I would highly recommend Robert as an employment attorney.

Knowledgeable, direct, concise, forward thinking, trusted advisor. Robert knows his areas of expertise and can connect to others for outside specialty reducing duplicative expense. Robert is a sharp shooter. Add to that, his ability to listen and understand for the best possible outcome. Robert is my best investment in business compliance.

Robert has been an invaluable resource for our clients on issues ranging from COVID workplace safety guidelines to workers' compensation claims to sexual harassment complaints across a broad variety of industries. In each engagement he has demonstrated an ability to explain both the content of the relevant law(s) and how it applies, as well as identify areas of improvement specific to the operational considerations of the company. All of it delivered in a friendly, approachable manner. Highly recommend.

Robert has proved time and again to be an exceptional legal counsel. He has very high integrity, is always well informed of the law, responds quickly to questions, and has provided excellent counsel on numerous thorny and complex issues. He helped resolve, and got us out quickly of a long drawn out (and costly) legal battle where only the previous attorneys were winning!

A long, long time ago (2006 time frame) Robert was the second lawyer I consulted with on an issue with possible conflict of interest. He listened intently to my story, restated it to me in his own words making me sure that he understood the issue then made suggestions on how to handle the issue. Since then, he has been our corporate lawyer and every legal agreement we enter in to gets reviewed by him first. He is very quick and thus is economical. So again, only contact him if you want a great lawyer.

Robert has been my lawyer for a few years now and I can't imagine getting through HR issues without him. When I reach out to him, he responds back quickly, and efficiently, He is always able to give me the pros and cons to any of my situations. From helping set-up my employee handbooks to guiding me through legal issues, he is always supportive and sets my mind at ease knowing he has my back. I recommend him to all my business friends. I greatly appreciate the random HR law updates he sends just for informational purposes.

Mr. Nuddleman is my go-to expert for employment-related issues. I trust him implicitly and appreciate his candor and straightforwardness. I find Mr. Nuddleman has a quality unlike other attorneys in that he is willing to walk you through the issue at hand and work with you to find a solution that fits your needs, since most of us know there is more than one way to peel an orange.

I met Robert for 30 minutes. He is friendly, professional and knowledgeable in Employment law. He was attentive and asked many pertinent questions to get the details on the situation. In fact, he pointed out the areas I overlooked about my employment that could have provided me monitory benefit. He provided the guidance. After talking to him I decided to have him take care of the issue. Amazingly, I got the results very next day. Thank you Robert. We recommend him to anyone who needs the clear guidance in employment issues.
