I am a retired businessman. Robert Scherzer is the worst employee ever. Robert Scherzer heads my list, as the most horrible person I can imagine hiring, to represent me in a legal matter. Early on, in my custody hearing, Robert complained that he doesn't sleep well at night. I figured out his problem. He doesn't sleep well at night because he sleeps all day in court. I also asked him if he would take my direction and ask the questions that I wanted him to ask. He agreed, but failed miserably. Despite his encouragement, that I had a 75 to 85% chance of victory, he lost. Then, he informed me that WE may have left ourselves open to some opposition attorney fees. I am thankful that I fired him and represented myself, in the attorney fee hearing. I think I was infinitely more convincing than he would have been and was able to limit my losses. After this debacle, I asked my 90 year old mother to describe Robert Scherzer's performance. Her one word response was "PANIC". I completely agree. I also sincerely accuse him of excessive billing, for his ridiculously poor services. No stars! Refund owed! Richard

Robert is the best attorney you could possibly hire. He is compassionate, empathetic, a great listener, and very calm. My case was very complicated and there was only one case in the entire country that paralleled that of mine. He researched and consulted with many attorneys as well as constantly keeping me abroad of our circumstances. He is kind and knowledgeable and fought for me every single minute of every single day. I would not wish divorce on anyone, but if you find yourself in that situation, Robert is the one you want to go to. He is very well respected By his colleagues and even fellow divorce attorneys. And his assistant, Kelli is as equally kind and compassionate. If Robert were not my attorney, he would be my friend. Well, I will actually consider him my friend. Because he helped me turn the worst situation of my life into something I can cope with.

I retained Robert in January 2016 to help me win custody and as much parenting time possible of my young son. We've been working together over a year now, and I can't imagine having any other attorney on my team. From the start Robert encouraged me to take the high road against my ex-husband. Our legal strategy focused on how I had always been and would continue to be the primary parent, and not on debasing my ex-husband. This felt good to me because it honored my ex-husband's role in my son's life and was consistent with my personal values. We stayed the course over 12 months, through hearings and a deposition and finally 3 days of trial. Robert's calm and thoughtful legal advice never wavered from our initial strategy, and it was clear to me from the judge's response and verdict that it was the right strategy. We did win everything we asked for, and I am eternally grateful that Robert was my attorney in this case. I still call him to talk through challenging situations with my ex-husband, and always feel better after I do.

I came to Robert by way of a referral from an attorney friend of mine. He spoke highly of Robert personally, his skills as an attorney, and of his integrity. I worked with Robert for the duration of my divorce proceedings over an 18 month period. He was excellent to work with throughout: from preliminary consultation, all the way through the proceedings, and to post-settlement follow-up consultations. I found him to be fair, level-headed, thorough, collaborative, interested in the ultimate outcome, representing my interests to the fullest, and able to draw from his decades of experience in the Family Law. He was invaluable in the resolution of my divorce. I was completely satisfied with the outcome. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone in need of Family Law services.

Mr. Scherzer and his assistant are a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Robert represented me during my divorce trial. I have to say, I was extremely disappointed with his performance. He never listened to my suggestions and recommendations. These things came back to hurt my case against my husband who was clearly hiding assets. He never took a strong position against opposing counsel and "we" lost big!!!

Robert was exceptional in his representation of my case. He very clearly defined and communicated scenarios and best outcomes. His focus was on creating a workable and timely result. I found him to be a great, empathetic communicator, with the appropriate grit to arrive at the best result. I very heartily recommend him for his experience and ability to effectively get through a difficult process.

Robert was compassionate and I felt in my corner from the minute I met him. He advised me honestly, not always with information that I wanted to hear. He encouraged me to work with my ex-husband, doing our best to stay out of court and leaving a decision up to a judge. I was impressed with that, knowing that a drawn out divorce would cause us more time, money, and energy. Once our divorce was final, Robert was still available to me to answer questions I had about issues that cropped up, but still foreign to me. He has always been responsive and a resource on which I can depend.

Robert helped me with my divorce. He is of course an expert in the field with decades of experience; that kind of goes without saying. Technical skills are unquestionable. More than that, he has a common-sense and practical approach to family law matters that I found both calming and effective. He started out with a low-key cooperative strategy, but when it was quickly apparent we needed to be more directive, he was able to revise the strategy quickly. He was very responsive, reachable in emergencies after hours, and did a great job of calming me down when I got caught up in the emotion of the process. I can particularly recommend Robert for cases involving contested custody issues.

Robert Scherzer was thoughtful and thorough. He kept me sane and level headed through a difficult divorce. I felt like I had the advocate that I needed. I have and will refer him to friends, family, and associates in the future.

Robert was an exceptional lawyer during a difficult and protracted divorce. He was an extraordinary communicator both with me and the other side. He was calm, accessible, strategic, clear, an excellent listener and formidable advocate. It was due to Robert's clear thinking and legal acumen that there was a fair and reasonable outcome for me. I have worked with other attorneys in both professional and private life and can attest that Robert's legal expertise and professional demeanor are of the highest caliber.

Although I have never written a review for anything before, I had such a positive experience with Mr. Scherzer that I felt I should add to the list of favorable comments. Robert was recommended as someone who could deal with difficult people in difficult situations, and he really came through. There were quite a few times when the situation became very intense and he was able to keep both parties communicating in an effective way, ultimately ending up with a settlement that was fair to both parties. At all times Mr. Scherzer maintained a highly professional attitude and did not show favoritism to either side, but addressed all issues by offering insight and alternate perspectives developed from years of dealing with these types of situations, such as divorce. He has a good understanding of how children are impacted and offered creative solutions for issues on which we were gridlocked. Thank you Robert, for helping me reach a final agreement. I would recommend Mr. Scherzer without any hesitation.
