Weiser, et al. No. 99VS15524D (Fulton County, Georgia State Court, September 26, 2002). This was the first medical malpractice case Mr. Fleming tried as lead counsel and resulted in a $5.5 million verdict. Defendants made no offer of settlement prior to trial.

Robert has been a beacon of legal assistance to myself, friends and family for over 20 years. Always quick to respond with a great deal of insight regardless of the gravity of the situation. I am fortunate to have crossed paths with such a well versed legal professional.

Rob Fleming did an outstanding job representing me in a medical malpractice case. His legal mind is outstanding and his level of expertise in medical malpractice is second to none. From the moment that I went in for the first consultation to the very successful resolution of my case, Rob was amazing. He is an outstanding listener and he brilliantly navigated the legal process from start to finish for me. Rob is one of the best attorneys, if not THE BEST, in his field. The level of communication throughout the entire legal process was excellent. Each step of the process was appropriately discussed and all options were carefully detailed. His attentiveness to my phone calls and emails was excellent and always very prompt. I hope you never need representation with a malpractice issue, but if you do, your first call should be to Rob Fleming. I absolutely could not be any happier with his representation and you should consider yourself in the BEST MALPRACTICE LEGAL HANDS available in the Southeast. I wish I could give him 50 stars!

Rob Fleming took my medical malpractice case when no one else would. He believed he could help me and worked hard to do so. I received a good settlement from the insurance company due to Rob’s knowledge, experience, and hard work. He communicated well and regularly with me. I am very grateful a friend referred me to him, or I probably would have given up on my case. I consider Rob a friend after working with him for years on my complicated case. I am grateful to him and strongly recommend him.

I highly recommend Mr. Robert J. Fleming. I hired Mr. Fleming to represent me in a dental malpractice case. It was a pleasure to work with him during the time of legal battle. My family and I have grown to respect and admire him as an attorney and as a friend. He is a kind and generous man, as well as professional and effective attorney. His words always became his actions, NOT once did I feel deceived or misinformed. He was always on top of his game, very loyal and honest man. His dedication to me and my case has impressed me. It was a pure blessing to work with Robert throughout the time of chaos and legal complexity…and at the end, of course we won!

If you need an experienced atlanta injury lawyer, you should consider Robert J. Fleming. He is excellent. He is a partner in a well-respected firm and he actually does the work on your case. That is special. He knows how to get results for his clients. I think he is professional, smart and aggressive.

Rarely do I comment so enthusiastically and confidently on a lawyer’s performance, so I am most pleased to offer this endorsement for attorney Robert Fleming. As a business owner with interest in a liability suit, I had the opportunity to work with Robert in 2008. Through his council, Robert displayed a keen sense of awareness and was knowledgeable in commentary on liability, prosecution perspective, defense perspective, insurance company involvement, corporate legal structures, and any other situations that could potentially arise. In this way, he instills legitimate confidence in his abilities. I extend him my very best wishes. Vincent P. Akelis

I sought legal help from Robert J. Fleming after having been hurt by a chiropractor. Mr. Fleming did all that he told me he would do. Once I hired him as my lawyer, he worked very hard on my case and he kept me informed on what was happening every step of the way. I am a hairdresser. After my case settled, I was able to buy my own salon and that has changed my life. Robert J. Fleming did a fabulous job for me. I could not have asked for more from him.

Due to the defendant's stalling tactics, my case took several months to come to trial, but Mr. Fleming was always willing to discuss my case and took a personal interest in every aspect of my suit. He explored every angle, which meant very much to me after other attorneys had dismissed my case as too much trouble to pursue. Unfortunately, the facts of my case are sealed, but I believe I am allowed to say that Mr. Fleming did win a substantial amount for my injuries. If you want someone who will hear you out and "go the extra mile" to win your case, Robert J. Fleming is your man. I highly recommend Mr. Fleming. It was always comforting to know that he was on the case.
