Robert A. Steinberg, Esq.
Resolving the Complex Business Case
“Few of the attorneys I have encountered within or
without [my] firm are as incisive or articulate as Bob… Bob’s
personality inspires trust.”
- Eric M. Roth, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz
PREPARED, PERSISTENT, EFFECTIVE, Mr. Steinberg excels at complex
cases. Whether the case involves arcane financial or accounting issues,
the emotional intensity of employment cases, or the finger pointing of a
busted business deal, Mr. Steinberg will resolve it:
“The case has been pending for almost fourteen years…
and there have been serious efforts – albeit unsuccessful –
to settle the case prior to now…This was a hyper-technical
case and you were able to bring to bear not only your excellent
mediation skills, but your expertise and knowledge regarding tax matters
– the combination which led to the successful mediation.”
- Stephen R. Toscher, Hochman, Salkin, Rettig, Toscher & Perez, P.C.
“[G]reat job…You immediately understood the critical
issues and strengths and weaknesses of both parties…
[Y]ou gave my client a chance to be heard and to express his feelings
about how he felt he had been treated…[Y]ou facilitated a settlement in
a case I thought had no chance of settling.”
- Allen B. Grodsky, Grodsky & Olecki LLP
“I highly recommend Bob as the right resource
to help resolve complex business issues.”
- Rodney N. Lanthorne, President, Kyocera International, Inc.
