Their is absolutely nothing better that he could’ve done. The feeling I always got from Rob is that it’s not just your case. When he’s up their fighting for you; you get the feeling from him that he’s almost fighting for his own freedom and not just yours. And that if it goes wrong then he’s the one suffering the consequences. That’s when I knew that I could put everything in his hands and he wouldn’t let me down. As a result I was walking a free man and it only took the jury 15 min to come with a verdict. Rob is not only an extraordinary, amazing person and lawyer. But he has turned into one of my best friends, and no matter what you can’t put a price on any of that. Might as well put a halo on this guy. If anyone would like to know my story.
