Wil Weisenfelder, Partner - Rendigs, Fry Kiely & Dennis - Cincinnati, Ohio law firmI retained Bob Steinberg in 2013 as an expert witness for the defense in an attorney fee application arising under 42 USC 1988. I selected Bob not only because of his years of experience in reviewing fee applications as a Federal Magistrate Judge but also because of his years of experience as a private practitioner submitting fee applications on behalf of plaintiffs.
Bob thoroughly analyzed all of the issues and provided insight as to how best to counter plaintiffs’ arguments in support of their fee petition. He was available to meet in person as as to discuss issues over the phone. I was extremely impressed with the thorough report he prepared supported by numerous exhibits.
In this case, Bob was called to testify at a hearing and express his opinions on various issues related to the fee application. He was an extremely credible and knowledgeable witness.
I would retain Bob again and certainly would recommend him to others.
Steve Olden, Esq. - Cincinnati, Ohio area law practiceRobert Steinberg is unmatched as an expert witness on attorney fees. I retained Bob in early 2013 to support my attorney fees application in federal court. He was thoroughly knowledgeable in the area, as well as prompt and efficient in his work. The supporting affidavit I received from him addressed both the hours I was billing for and the hourly rate I was claiming. Additionally, it included his own qualifications, which any judge and opposing party would find exceptional. Bob’s experience as a judge who has ruled on hundreds of attorney fee petitions in federal court, as well as his work representing the government and private parties, gives him an unmatched perspective. I recommend Bob to anyone looking for a truly excellent attorney fees expert witness.
