About

I have formed hundreds, if not thousands, of new businesses. I have watched mom and pop businesses achieve family goals, and have seen small businesses with big dreams implement legal and business solutions to become major players in their industries.My positive client interaction with business owners who are trying to achieve their goals is a strong motivator in my decision to focus his practice on business and commercial law. I regularly work with optimistic, upbeat, and aggressive entrepreneurs and business owners to create short and long-term business strategies and legal needs. I have the experience to provide the practical legal solutions to complicated business situations. Time and again I have found that the pure legal analysis and legal courses of action may not be the best solution for businesses and business owners. Rather, seeking win-win solutions, which involve a balancing of the legal positions against the monetary and non-monetary costs leads to alternative, non-litigation solutions.Business owners usually want cost effective solutions, not legal positions that lead to polarization and the loss of business deals and transactions. A transaction should never fall through because of attorneys advocating positions that create adversity. Rather, a lawyer should always seek solutions that will allow transactions to be consummated and problems to be resolved.When dealing with employees and employment situations, I have found that employers want solutions that will minimize or remove the threat of litigation. With the cost of defending major employment suits averaging over $125,000, most business have to find solutions to employment problems that protect the business interests while bringing closure to the problems.Admitted to the Virginia bar in 1978 and to the District of Columbia bar in 1994, I bring considerable experience to the practice of business and commercial law in Northern Virginia.

I canceled my appointment with a different lawyer when I red her dreadful reviews. I searched and found Robert who had most perfect review counts. I am glad to report that i found Bob to be very professional in the way he managed our case. I have to add that his charges were more than fair and we will certainly recommend him.

Bob did a great job for me and my family. He took our best interests to heart and was always available to give advice. He understood how sensitive matters can be in a family business - he was both professional and careful to handle the matter in the most sensitive manner possible, leading to an outcome that left everyone involved satisfied. I can't recommend him enough!

Bob has helped our small defense contracting firm on multiple occasions. He has always been responsive and professional. He has helped us work through several corporate structure problems and provided expert guidance on corporate governance issues. Bob is our "go to" corporate counsel!

I have known and used Bob as my business attorney for over 20 years. He has helped me establish numerous small companies, resolve issues in a timely and satisfactory manner, and provided excellent legal advise through some difficult times. In addition, Bob has been instrumental in helping me create the legal strategies for my companies in advance of setting them up, which has been exceedingly helpful in risk mitigation as I move forward with new ventures. I have come to regard Bob as a key component to my business success and look forward to another 20 years working with him. I highly recommend Bob for all legal needs.

I retained Mr. Baumgartner to review a commercial shopping center lease for me. He quickly identified both the legal issues and the business issues that I needed to address. He handled the final negotiations. I feel that the cost of his review was fully justified by the protections he provided to me.
