Services
I have years of experience at some of Vancouver's most renowned law firms and am privileged to have learned under some of the best litigators in the country. Integrity, honesty and objective advice are the hallmarks of my legal training. If you like the sound of honest answers and 30+ years of legal experience - including hundreds of trials - then I think you'll like my approach.
Have you been charged with a crime - including impaired driving, theft, assault, sexual assault, drug possession or trafficking or any kind of criminal code offence? Are you under investigation, facing charges or wish to appeal the results of a prosecution? Know your rights. You have a right to counsel and to obtain immediate, confidential legal assistance.
Are you under investigation for a regulatory offence - such as overfishing or hunting without a licence? Need a lawyer who will defend you against charges of a wildlife, gaming or fisheries (DFO) offence? Violating a regulatory offence may not always land you in criminal court, but it can still cost you - your licence, your reputation and up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in hefty penalties.
Understanding your rights is a critical first step in any legal proceedings. Through years of practice Robert has witnessed all to often his services being sought long AFTER the legal matter has begun. Doing so has left his clients in a much more precarious position which ultimately became that much more, complex, time consuming and costly for them due to their nave understanding of the complex Legal system.

Report
I was actually very scared to see a lawyer especially after looking and looking and looking around and people telling me that lawyers have major attitude problems but where those people wrong I tell you. I met with Attorney Robert and he was the total opposite of what I was expecting. Very respectful and straight to the point. I didn't even have to ask him questions because that's how specific and detailed he was.
