Passionate and Dedicated to Providing the Most Favorable Outcome Possible
    "We trust Robert and his team to be there for us when need him."
    Robert and his team have continually provided both my family and myself with sound legal advice and services for many years.

We trust Robert and his team to be there for us when need him.

    "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.

    I had a great experience working with Mr. Cleland. He was incredibly insightful and positive throughout our time working together. Not only did he help me achieve the best possible outcome with my legal matter, he was also very kind and easy to talk to about my situation. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Cleland to anyone looking for a lawyer with his expertise.
