Bob devotes his law practice exclusively to civil and criminal appellate litigation, including motions work in trial courts. The skill sets involved in appellate practice are distinct from those used in trial practice, and Bob brings enthusiasm -- as well as an unusual breadth and depth of legal experiences -- to this unique practice area. He has been a federal prosecutor as well as a criminal defense attorney, and he has represented plaintiffs and defendants in civil litigation involving a wide variety of factual and legal subject matters. His broad knowledge of the law, his acute ability to spot issues and synthesize large volumes of record materials, and his clear and concise writing and oral presentation style have enabled him to achieve an enviable record of success in his cases.
