Kreshana Bela2025-01-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend working with Robert, he helped me through every question I had, was very professional and made me feel confident that I was in good hands. I knew he wanted the best outcome for me and it made me feel very at ease with the process! Tyler Monroe2025-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert represented me on a case recently and was able to get it completely dismissed(as it rightfully should have been). This case was a DUII and the state had a completely bogus case in my opinion. Super happy to have been appointed Robert as my attorney as he was able to get it dismissed for me in no time!
