what our clients have to say

Passionate and Dedicated to Providing the Most Favorable Outcome Possible
    "Rob Cleland was the best thing that could have happened!"
    I received a felony DUI during a relapse after 10 years of recovery. When I got sober, I was staying with a friend whose life was severely effected because of having a felony on his record. He kindly offered to pay part of the legal fee to see Rob Cleland and that was the best thing that could have happened!

    Rob worked tirelessly to get me diversion even though it wasn't an option due to missed court dates. Then, instead of judging me, he helped me to renew my diversion when I wasn't able to complete it the first time due to relapses. All throughout the process, Rob showed endless compassion and understanding at a time that I needed it the most. I am so grateful to my friend and to rob for their amazing help.

    I have recommended friends to Rob Cleland and will continue to do so.

This is the experience that I received in the time he took to review and work on my case. What he has done for me has changed my life dramatically. I highly recommend him for his professional services!

    "Calm and professional."
    Robert was recommended to me by a friend and I will recommend Robert to others that seek help. He explained a lot of things that I did not understand in a calm and professional manner. Thank you Rob.
