About

I have practiced law for 40 years, starting in Grand Rapids, and then returning to my home area in Southwest Michigan.  Known primarily as a litigator in high conflict matters, I now exclusively handle contested divorce and probate disputes.  My clients have been recognized as being very prepared at trial.  It is the intensive preparation that enables my clients to settle their disputes in a satisfactory manner or to receive a favorable ruling from the Court.  With a background in education/coaching, entertainment/theater, and law enforcement, I feel I have unique qualities that make me a very successful trial attorney and effective legal counselor.  Helping people fight back against manipulation and abuse by their spouse or other family members has been my passion and practice.

Mr. Puckett had helped me immensely with my two divorces. The first involved custody of my daughter, she was only 3 months old during the time of separation. He made a very tough situation much better. I can’t thank him enough for how he was able to help me get the custody and child support worked out. He also helped me with buisness and property divisions that made it possible for us to have our own home to live in. My second divorce involved me having to get a personal protection order. Mr. Puckett once again made a very hard time much better. He helped my daughter and I to be able to stay in our home (we were being kicked out of it before that). He also made it possible for me to be able to keep the home With equity and my buisness. Mr. Puckett is a incredible attorney! He has made impossible situations turn out better than expected. I confidently recommend him!

In 2019/2020, Robert represented me in a Michigan guardianship case that was filed by another party. The other party to the case was represented by 2 attorneys and neither attorney had any clue as to the law concerning Michigan guardianship jurisdiction. Robert researched the Michigan and Federal statutes concerning guardianship law and was able to reference the exact statutes that were instrumental in the lawsuit being dismissed. He is very straight-forward, honest, and can be counted on to represent his clients in a caring and timely manner. He always did what he said he would do, and he never gave me any reason to doubt his word. In the future, I will DEFINITELY use him again. Robert is the best of the best as an attorney. I know because in January 2019, I hired a different attorney on a Monday and fired that attorney on the next Saturday because he failed to take the action he promised, and he would not even answer my phone and email messages. You will not have any of those problems with Robert.

Bob has represented me for several years and I would use him again if I needed an attorney. He always made himself available when I had questions and needed advice. He was wise, honest, and sincerely looked out for my interests. He told me the truth and never "sugar-coated" anything. He was absolutely able to fight hard all the while remaining cool and calm and represent me well. I believe that he is esteemed by his peers and sincerely enjoys helping people.

I had a meeting with Bob today regarding a landlord tenant lease. He allowed me to voice my concerns and problems, and then proceeded to advise me on what the required things on the document were. He was patient with me asking probably far too many questions. He is intelligent and held true to his word of the free consultation. I highly recommend him to anyone I know.

He gave me a lot of information when I called his office. I am not going to be able to use him in my specific situation but he was very knowledgeable and I appreciate all of the great advice he provided

The only person who answered my question and in the most concise and expeditious way! I'd really appreciate Mr. Puckett getting back to me with his advice and with the guidance that I've received from him without selling my kidney )) Thank you! At least I know what I can request from my very inefficient attorney.

Bob was kind enough to give me a massive amount of information within a 30 minute free phone call. I’ve talked to several attorneys and no one comes close to Bob’s knowledge and expertise. If you want the best lawyer to represent you and walk you through rough waters Bob is the man.

I am very satisfied with the legal help provided by Mr. Puckett. I hired him to help with my divorce when things had started to become messy. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, has a very good sense of how situations are going to play out, and also keeps the human side of things in mind. I came to the initial consultation terrified. I was being falsely accused of abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. I had no idea how any of this worked. As far as I knew, I was going to end up destitute and broken after the divorce. After explaining my situation to Mr. Puckett, he gave me what he thought a likely outcome would be. And he was right. Instead of the nightmare that I thought would play out, I ended up with a fair and equitable settlement with my ex wife. I would recommend Mr. Puckett in a heart beat!

Positive: Professionalism Absolutely stellar representation and service! A ‘no nonsense’, ‘get down to business’ professional attorney. I noticed that Attorney Puckett is a well respected lawyer within the court, etc., system. Thorough and prompt! Always aware. Always concise. I never left his office with unanswered questions. Attorney Puckett is 10 Star! Thank you so very much for all your work to help us!
