Rob is the "go to" lawyer for his clients when a dispute arises, no matter the issue. He is a trial lawyer who routinely appears on both sides of the docket, whether his client is a giant, multi-billion-dollar company or an individual seeking justice.
Rob's peers have recognized his commitment to excellence; he has been recognized by Super Lawyers®, a Thomson Reuters publication, every single year since 2012. For ten consecutive years, he was honored as a “Texas Rising Star” (2012 – 2022). Selection to this list is a distinction limited to no more than 2.5% of all lawyers in Texas. From 2017 – 2022, Rob was distinguished further as one of the "Up-and-Coming Top 100 Rising Stars", a select list of only 100 attorneys in the state. Since 2022, Rob has been named a Texas Super Lawyer. Rob also has been honored as one of the "Best Lawyers in Dallas" by D Magazine five times, as one of their “Best Lawyers in Dallas Under 40” twice, and has been rated as "AV Preeminent" by Martindale-Hubbell since 2022, which reflects that he has reached the highest levels of professional excellence, skill, and integrity.
Rob has tried lawsuits in state courts, federal courts, before regulatory tribunals, and before arbitration panels for both plaintiffs and defendants. He has gone toe-to-toe against some of the most accomplished and revered trial attorneys in the country, emerging victorious. That said, his successes are not limited to courtroom victories alone; in 2013, Rob obtained one of the top ten reported settlements in Texas according to VerdictSearch in a complex construction defect lawsuit. Over the past 15+ years of practice, he has obtained multi-million dollar settlements for plaintiffs and, on the other hand, also has secured take-nothing or complete defense verdicts for defense clients.
Rob's longstanding clients span across a number of industries, including international manufacturing companies, retailers, financial institutions, contractors, healthcare providers and organizations, software developers, consulting firms, and more. He is often called on to assess risk and negotiate matters in an effort to avoid litigation. When that is not feasible, he fiercely advocates for his clients in his "second home"--the courtroom.
A New York native, Rob made his way to Texas after graduating from Rutgers University in New Jersey to attend Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law, where he earned Dean's List honors and was one of only ten graduates named to the Order of Barristers, a prestigious honor society recognizing outstanding advocacy skills.
