When I first needed to hire a family law lawyer, I interviewed several. Given what was at stake--my relationship with my kid, I fretted over making a poor choice since there was no more important decision that can impact my life for the next many years. After weighing all of the choices and selecting Bobby, I cannot overstate how much Bobby is personally responsible for changing the next 20 years of my life and my kid's life. He did not rotely accept how all of the other lawyers proposed approaching the case (in hindsight, the other lawyers seemed to demonstrate a lazy acquiescence to what I "should expect" from the court system), yet he did not overpromise. Sure, he is smart, effective, and insightful about the law and the various issues in the case, but most importantly he "got it" and was impressively loyal and dedicated to working towards a resolution that was in the best interest of my kid and me. The process was not easy, but his work ethic and faith never wavered even when I felt like giving up. He had the integrity and caring to spend the time thinking about the case beyond what I expected. He applied his skills and judgment to help me win custody against all apparent odds (not, to be clear, against what the appropriate resolution should have been). On a very regular basis over the years after the trial ended until the present, I am actively grateful for the impact that Bobby has had on my life and the life of my kid. Bobby is personally responsible for the relationship I've had with my kid for the last many years. Obviously I do not know the circumstances of your case and no one can promise results, but I have never stopped being incredibly grateful having the good fortune of hiring Bobby Preston many years ago. After more than a decade of representing me, I could not be happier with my decision to hire Bobby.

Robert Preston handled my divorce and custody case 12 years ago. The situation was complicated and he handled all aspects of the case with extreme diligence, perspective and focus. This is a man who cares deeply about helping his clients and their children. He has been there for me many times since that time. He is easy to talk to, has a brilliant mind and is solid in his ethics. I would highly recommend him.

I hired Robert Preston to help me on a custody case that was considered closed. He was extrememly warm, caring and responsive to all my needs. He also stated that my case was "not about the money" but to help a good mom get her kids back. He was and is an excellent attorney. His office staff is also extremely helpful and caring. Hats off to them. I am recommending him to my best friend.

If I could give him zero stars I would. Bobby has a ton of charm, he will make you feel that you have found the best lawyer in the world . He listens and makes you feel that you've found a lawyer that cares but, don't be fooled. HE IS THE WORST. DONT BE FOOLED BY THIS AWFUL ATTORNEY!

Mr. Preston is a very charismatic person, and talked a great game about how he was going to destroy my ex in court, but in reality he accomplished very little but took a lot of my money and wasted a lot of my time. I went on to hire another attorney and my case was settled in a matter of weeks, which confirmed that he was just milking me for my money by playing on my emotions.

- His staff sent a hardcopy of my finances to the wrong address and thank God the person that received my package called me. - He was also double booked for the court appearance and cancelled me. - It took twice the time that he had promised to get a divorce and I had to pay twice the amount that he mentioned on our first appointment. - He was absent minded and of no support during the actual court date. - Up to a week would go by without answering an email.
