As an example of Rob’s work in the area of commercial litigation, Rob and his partner, Robert M. Redis, recently successfully represented two petitioners at both the lower court and appellate levels in a fee dispute between the petitioners and their former counsel arising from and related to an eminent domain proceeding.

Rob’s work in the area of litigation is further illustrated by his successful defense of a motion to dismiss brought by Dover Corporation in an employment litigation action entitled Patrick v.
