John is an excellent attorney, and I would highly recommend his legal service.
I have worked with Mr. Robb for the past year and a half in my role as Assistant Superintendent and Clerk of the Board for my school district. We have consulted on legal issues involving staff and student disciplinary action, policy development and interpretation, collective bargaining, and tort/liability risks in addition to other general counsel items that come up in the operation of a school district. Mr. Robb is extremely client centered and responsive, and I recommend Mr. Robb and this firm wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
I have worked with John Robb for the past 15 years as a high school principal and currently as the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources for USD 265.

He has excellent people skills and he possesses the unique ability to bring information on any topic down to the level of the group he is working with.
