Overview

Robert focuses on real estate law.

After working with attorneys in local and state government roles, Robert came to see a legal career as a path to new opportunities and challenges. He enrolled in law school, where he participated in the Community Organization and Social Enterprise Clinic, helping startups and community organizations develop legal structures. This hands-on experience solidified Robert’s interest in providing strategic legal guidance.

As a summer associate at the firm, Robert assisted attorneys with mergers, acquisitions, and real estate transactions. He found real estate—where he could work on both community development and commercial projects—particularly compelling thanks to its combination of contracts, zoning, land use, financing, and property rights. Robert’s internships with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Securities and Exchange Commission also exposed him to various legal challenges and enforcement actions. These experiences deepened his understanding of the judicial process, financial regulations, and the impact of legal work on real-world situations.

Known for his strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication, Robert is committed to being accessible, honest, and fair. He is dedicated to understanding and adapting to client needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
