About Robert
How do you help businesses and individuals?
I assist individuals and businesses across various industries in navigating a wide spectrum of legal challenges they may encounter. This includes negotiating and enforcing contracts, resolving disputes between owners of closely-held businesses, addressing real estate and construction disputes, and guiding clients through trust administration and probate litigation. With experience representing clients through all phases of litigation, I focus on providing strategic, results-oriented counsel tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
What skills help you advise the client and achieve the best results or outcomes?
My commitment to continuous learning, composure under pressure, and practical approach enable me to thoroughly understand my clients’ goals and interests. These skills allow me to craft effective strategies and advocate for their desired outcomes.
What did you learn in your first year of practice that you still utilize today?
One of the most valuable lessons I learned in my first year of practice is the importance of careful listening. Taking the time to truly understand each client’s background, priorities, and interests at stake allows me to provide thoughtful and effective guidance tailored to their unique goals. This approach has been instrumental in building trust and achieving successful outcomes.
