Throughout the years I have consulted Rob for any legal issues and questions I have ever had. He is personable, thorough and he's one of the rare attorneys that gets back to you in a timely manner. I highly recommend Rob for any legal issue you may have. He is in my opinion, a rare gem.

My neighbor decided to cut his own tree down instead of hiring a professional tree service. Yes, he screwed up and it fell on my screen porch. I got an estimate for repair that was $3000 and the assumption was that my neighbor would pay it. He paid me $500 after 3 months. No pun intended, but that just doesn’t cut it! I hired Robert to resolve this and he wrote one letter to my neighbors insurance company. 2 weeks later I got a check in the mail for $2500! Nice work from Robert.. Would definitely recommend this attorney.. Marty
