"In August of 2018 I was wrongly accused in a short lobster case, brought on by the Department of Marine Resources. I was boarded by two officers who were careless, unprofessional and most significantly, used flawed measuring techniques, inconsistent with the law. Thanks to Robert and his team's devotion, persistence and thorough legal work, the State dropped the charges against me.

This was initially an extremely frustrating time for me, as I was innocent but nonetheless was facing hefty fines, the potential of damage to my reputation, loss of my license and even possibly a year in jail. Directly after the incident occurred I met with Robert and his paralegal, Greg. They were both engaging and personable but got right down to business.

I was glad to have Robert and his assistant's Greg and Brian on my side. They fought hard for me and proved my innocence. I couldn't really have asked for a better outcome, I would suggest working with these gentlemen."
