You can tell they are passionate about what they do and care about their clients.

The fact they were always available whether it be phone call or email to answer any question was extremely comforting and exactly what I needed.
I am not well versed with laws and regulation so knowing I had Rob and his partners there when I was unsure or conflicted was extremely needed and greatly appreciated. When it comes to family court it's never easy but having Rob and his partner by my side I felt extremely comfortable and he helped me have realistic expectations.
I hope to never have to use them again but in the event I have to, they are going to be my forever first call. I hired Robert to handle a child custody and child support matter. He was prompt and professional and was able to He and his staff made a stressful situation easy. I highly recommend his office.

My original case was due to a neglect charge. Cps is not easy to work with, but Rob and Christine were vigilant and I ended up getting my daughter back within 8 months and did not have to plead guilty to the neglect.
