What Our Clients Say

Final Peace with my Father

“It is solely due to your excellent counsel that I, my children, and grandchildren had the opportunity to have a final week of precious time with my father. We treasured every moment that we were provided to love on him, sing with him, tell stories, and honor him. Without your dedication and expert knowledge to our issues we would not have had access and final peace with him. You have deeply touched our lives forever. He also loved on us and treasured the moments as well.”

Appreciated the Honesty

“I came to Bob’s firm with a unique and difficult probate case that I was hoping wouldn’t have to go to arbitration. I was drawn to his firm because of a positive experience in my family, but I was still nervous about who I would choose to represent me. I had a very delicate situation and knew I needed a specific kind of attorney to take on this case with me. I met with Bob for an initial consult, and I immediately knew I wanted to hire him. Bob went above and beyond in my case and made sure that he would get things to end in my favor. I appreciated his honesty and straight forwardness from start to finish; I had expected to have to interpret the real truth in what was being said to me, but Bob always told it like it was – even when I wasn’t always thrilled with what he was telling me. His work ethic is admirable and the persistence he showed in my case blew my expectations out of the water. Bob fought for me tooth and nail and still kept everything realistic in our conversations. I truly respect and revere his efforts and performance. While I don’t doubt that other lawyers are capable of handling what I was going through, I don’t believe I would have found a better match in my case than with Bob. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Bob, for your help in everything.”
