Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Robert has been my attorney since I was 15 years old I’m going on 31!!! Hands down the best lawyer around not only was he able to get me probation for a serious drug charge he was also able to dismiss 4 recent charges one being a gun case!! All I can say is if you need the lawyer that’s gonna get it done Robert is the man!!!!!!
Hands-down, Robert Bas did his job and I cannot thank him enough!! I kept my job and more importantly, kept my freedom! He is worth the cost!! Thank you!
Mr. Bas helped me and my family immensely! He got charged against my nephew dropped in a tough county - Clinton!!; he kept me out of prison in both Clinton and St. Clair County; and took care of my mother's case when my baby-sister was killed in a car crash. He even came to the funeral! My family trusts him, and Mr. Bas does an excellent job for us. He is worth the cost!
Awesome lawyer! Knew what to do from the beginning; kept me notified and got a murder case dismissed! highly recommended!
Mr. Bas worked hard for me and got me the result I was looking for. My uncle used Rob on his own felony (that he got thrown out) and so he came highly recommended. He always kept me informed, subpoenaed information from the police department that arrested me that the State was either too lazy or unwilling to provide, discovered holes in the State's case. As a result, he got my felony dismissed! I highly recommend Robert Bas! He is aggressive, diligent, and will go the distance for you!
Absolutely HIGHLY recommend Robert. He is EXCELLENT. Trustworthy, on top of his game, and absolutely takes the time to represent your situation well. He is very caring, and concerned, genuinely. He handled my family case extremely well, was very thorough and we succeeded. Thank you Robert.
I was charged with a felony and misdemeanor. I have a CDL and was only passing through the County. The first lawyer, failed to file anything to get rid of my suspension. When Mr. Bas took over, he said from the start, that the case will have to go to trial, but we would win. I wasn't sure about it. After a full-day trial, the Judge found me not guilty. Mr. Bas did a great job with the witnesses and made me feel comfortable when i testified. i can't thank you enough for saving my freedom!
Not worth hiring. He seems responsive during the consultation, but that ends the moment you pay the $4,000. He didn’t handle my son’s case as promised, and I communicated with his office staff far more than with him. The staff were polite, but we waited over a month with almost no progress and had to constantly follow up. Even simple tasks—like receiving a cashier’s check—turned into a mess. FedEx attempted delivery multiple times, but the office was closed or unavailable. They refused to pick it up from the FedEx facility and suggested mailing another cashier’s check, which made no sense. All he did was relay what the prosecutor offered. No effort to negotiate further, no push for dismissal, nothing proactive. I had to call every time for updates. A state-appointed attorney could have achieved the same result without the $4,000 price tag. Save your money. He is not worth it.
He is the absolute worst lawyer you will ever find. He will lose you everything and every case. He will give the other lawyer everything meanwhile he will get you nothing. He is always late and always reschedules court and charges you for that. Calls and emails you a lot and charges for that as well. He does fine against someone without a lawyer, but as soon as he sees another lawyer he turns tail, rolls over and just submits to their every demand. If you like to lose then he is the man for you.
