Bob is a seasoned veteran of the court room and will go to court to fight for the clients he represents. He prepares well and makes good impression with jurors.

Very few attorneys listen and understand. Mr. Gonter is one of them. He will listen to you as a person, then make a knowledgeable decision on how to proceed in your best interests, explaining the process along the way. Mr. Gonter did an excellent job representing our corporation and was understanding of our concerns. Most importantly, he's well respected by fellow attorneys and judges. His stellar reputation and intelligent approach leads to favorable results. I used to be impressed by descriptions like "aggressive" and theatrical attorneys whose shot gun style ends up more noise than result. But after seeing Mr. Gonter in action, I was convinced his professional and respectful approach separates him from the cookie cutter attorneys in our area. Lots of attorneys will say they "will do this" and "do that" for you, the difference is Mr. Gonter actually DOES whats right and what works. I'm very satisfied as a client.

As a professional engineer in private practice, educator, consultant, and subject matter expert in safety and risk management since 1972, I’ve had an opportunity to provide technical assistance and expert opinions to more than 1,200 lawyers, ranging from sole-practitioners to major national law firms. I only mention this because I believe that few clients know what qualities (beside fees) are truly important when selecting an attorney. I have almost four decades experience working with attorneys. Personally, I rely on my lifetime learning experience gained while providing administrative law and expert witnessing services when offering my opinions to others looking for an attorney (and on that rare occasion when I need to lawyer). That is, any lawyer (not just the law firm itself) I would recommend or hire must be a good listener, have an excellent professional standing within the legal community, attorneys who love the work more than themselves, and one who will carefully prepare the pleadings, promptly complete discovery, and put the case at issue without needing the court’s probing – then an attorney who wants to get your case in front of the Trier-of-fact and then (utmost importance) be prepared for trail with trial and exhibit binders as well as know the evidence needed to present your case and effectively cross-examine your adversary. K. Robert “Bob” Gonter is just such an attorney. His professionalism, alertness to details, and presentation of the evidence is why I would place him in the top 10 (if not the top three) attorneys that I’ve had an opportunity to work with. If you want to have a chance to win outright based on the evidence, or effectively present your defense evidence, clients need an attorney who will put your best interests ahead of their own. I encourage the reader serious consider Bob’s expertise and qualifications, and if you want, you may contact me direct (1.800.952.2840).

Mr. Gonter defended the policyholders for my employer, a major insurance company for many years. The quality of his work was always top notch and his results were excellent. I would recommend him to any insurance company looking for a quality insurance defense lawyer.

Mr. Gonter stuck with us through thick and thin over a three year period. He went above and beyond to make certain that our case was taken care of appropriately.
