Reviews for Robert
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I had the unfortunate experience of working with Robert Brighton in connection to his representation of Steve Repetti of www.steverepettifiles.som. I know it is a lawyer's duty to represent their client but it seems obvious to me that there is a nefarious connection behind the scenes just like the reviews from other reviewers. If you are looking for an honest, ethical lawyer definitely look elsewhere. If you are scumbag or con artist he's perfect.
If you are looking for an attorney to represent you as a defendant in a Fraud/Con-man/Scumbag defense role, I can think of no one better than Rob Brighton. He has no qualms about representing the worst of the worst and even "skirting the rules" when necessary. Rob Brighton may no longer be a partner at a big firm after what he has done, but that in no way should stop you from seeking him out if you are desperate
Robert Brighton represent Steve Repetti on multiple fraud cases. You can read more about his involvement with Steve here www.steverepettifiles.com
