Pros
1
Knowledgeable and experienced in family law, with a strong grasp of the legal process
“Bob was critical for helping get me through an urgent family issue. He was very fast and compassionate, treated me with respect and kindness, and pursued my case with diligence.”
2
Compassionate and understanding of clients' emotional needs during difficult situations
“Divorce is probably one of the hardest things I've had to face in my adult life; however, it was necessary for a happier healthier life for not only myself but for my son as well. Bob was always laid out my options and explained everything in a clear concise manner which I appreciated so much.”
3
Provides clear and transparent communication, keeping clients informed and involved
“He was very diligent, thorough professional and gave me excellent advice. He fought for me when needed and gave me good insights into structuring parental plan.”
4
Willing to go the extra mile to protect clients' interests, even in complex or contentious cases
“Right out of the gate I explained to Bob that if he took this case he'd be walking into a psychological thicket. Bob didn't even flinch, 29 insane months later of 2 unsettled mediations, numerous delays, denied motions, conferences with judges, coaching the opposing counsel, walking out of a disorderly deposition, (a first) & 3 days of trial. Bob not only kept his cool during these many absurdities but plowed through shining with his outstanding knowledge of law and presentation!”
Cons
1
Outcomes may not always align with client's desired goals, despite the lawyer's best efforts
“The outcome from the trial could have been better but I have accepted that it is what it is given the legal system and lawyers like my ex-wife's attorney who are willing to lie outright and exploit the system with no scruples.”
2
Divorce cases can be emotionally draining and complex, requiring patience and resilience from both the client and the lawyer
“Divorce can be a truly horrific experience. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been referred to Robert Kaufman in late 2011 when I faced such circumstances.”
