Testimonials

Lawsuits are never easy, even when you know you are right! I thank Bob for making this difficult journey toward a successful conclusion much easier. He is a strong, yet sweet, bulldog of a lawyer that I’m glad to have had on my side. Beyond achieving my financial rewards through his solid knowledge of the laws, he also showed true compassion for my physical and emotional well-being at each step along the way. I strongly recommend him.

Sherry B. Kaplan, Marketing Director, Cincinnati, Ohio

Bob was sent by God as my lawyer to represent my case against an agency. He handled my case and got it settled by mediation. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, affordable. He listens to my concerns, explained things accordingly. I feel so blessed and grateful because God sent me Bob to represent my case, before that I was so afraid or scared because I don't know anything about lawsuit here in USA.
But Thank God because I got Bob as my lawyer, I give him 10/10.

Charry Mae Niere-Gumarang, Registered Nurse, Houston, Texas

Mr. Steinberg has represented my family on two separate occasions. Each one was very different, but both were handled very professionally. It’s my opinion that Mr. Steinberg showed great compassion toward our family during this time. He advised us with his knowledge and wisdom that he has attained from practicing law for many years. This is exactly why we were hoping Mr. Steinberg would take our cases. Mr. Steinberg was able to communicate the delicate and complicated pieces of our cases in ways that we could understand. In the end, Mr. Steinberg was successful in both cases, and everything progressed exactly as he said. I would without hesitation recommend Mr. Steinberg to my friends and family!

Diane & Fred Akers, former Univ. of Texas football coach, Horseshoe Bay, TX

When looking for an extremely talented, persistent, and personable attorney I had to look no further than Bob Steinberg. He is immensely qualified for complex mediation with his experience as a lawyer and federal judge. Bob is very balanced in his approach when dealing with other parties and he knows a fair, equitable, and creative way to approach his cases. Bob also is a gifted coach for his clients, helping them to prepare every aspect of their case and approach to litigation. I cannot recommend Bob highly enough and have done so to everyone I know.

Dr. Timothy Vogel, Pediatric Neurosurgeon, New Jersey

Bob Steinberg is an outstanding mediator. He mediated a partnership dispute I thought would never settle because of the parties’ deep distrust of each other. Bob got the parties to focus on the business issues and got the case settled. Bob didn’t just carry messages, he challenged the parties’ positions. I highly recommend Bob Steinberg.

Peter King, Partner, Canel, King & Jones, Chicago, Illinois law firm

I asked Bob Steinberg to act as an expert witness on attorney’s fee issues following a successful jury trial in the Eastern District of Kentucky in Covington. Bob thoroughly reviewed my work product, researched hourly rates of other attorneys in the area, and drafted a comprehensive affidavit helping to justify my hourly rate. Significantly, he also was able to provide me with research and practical suggestions for my fee application. Bob made the process of applying for attorney’s fees much easier. I highly recommend his services.

Lynn Pundzak, Esq., Sole Practitioner Cincinnati, Ohio

Bob did a terrific job mediating a tough case in which the parties made no progress towards resolution prior to the mediation. Bob immediately honed in on the key issues and offered unique insights that helped me prepare for an effective mediation. Candidly, I came to the mediation session very pessimistic about resolving the matter, but Bob’s tremendous patience and persistence enabled the mediation to be successful. In addition, Bob brings a lot of credibility to the process because of his judicial experience. I strongly recommend retaining Bob as a mediator, especially in difficult cases.

Jason Zuckerman, Zuckerman Law, Washington, D.C.

At a time when I really needed help and expert advice, I found Mr.Steinberg. In the beginning, I had a lot of questions and concerns about my situation. I found Bob to be exceptional in his care, compassion, and knowledge. His attention to detail and follow-up was impeccable. I am very pleased with the outcome with my particular situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Steinberg to anyone.

Patricia Arnold, national bank employee, Columbus, Ohio

I appeared before Bob Steinberg for many years when he was on the federal bench and also have utilized his talents as a mediator. When Bob was on the bench, he skillfully assisted in resolving many employment cases in which I represented defendant employers. Since leaving the bench, I have retained Bob to handle mediations of employment disputes, including one extremely difficult SOX whistleblower claim. Bob is uniquely talented in his approach to mediation. He is thorough, detail oriented and extraordinarily patient in working through facts, emotions and legal issues. He relates particularly well with clients and has instant credibility having spent many years on the bench. I have used many high profile, experienced mediators across the country in large class action and multi-plaintiff cases and none are better than Bob Steinberg. I highly recommend him for any case from single plaintiff claims to national class actions.

I enthusiastically recommend him and would be happy to talk with anyone who is considering engaging him in this role.

Ryan McClane, Dressman Benzinger LaVelle, Northern Kentucky Law Firm

I retained Bob Steinberg as an expert witness for the defense in an attorney fee application arising under 42 UCS 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 well as to discus issues over the phone. I was extremely impressed with the thorough report he prepared supported by numerous exhibits. In this case, Bob was called upon 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.

Wilson G. Weisenfelder, Partner/Rendigs, Fry, Kiely and Dennis, Cincinnati, Ohio area law firm

As a judge, Bob Steinberg was instrumental in mediating numerous thorny issues that arose during the course of a lawsuit I was involved with against several governmental defendants. He was extremely effective because all the parties and their attorneys trusted him and saw him as a quick learner who understood their own concerns (beyond just the litigation). As a mediator today, Bob brings those same skills and more to any problem he is given. I retained Bob as an expert witness and was thoroughly impressed with his expertise and knowledge."

You know you have been wrongfully injured. The thought of entering into a business litigation is an extremely stressful and emotional situation. I knew I needed legal help. My investigation led me to Bob Steinberg. He carefully evaluated the details of the situation before entering into litigation with a difficult opponent. He was very caring, professional and detailed in handling my case, which was resolved and settled. (From this experience, I learned that David can still slay Goliath.) I have in the past and will continue to recommend his services to others.

Marilyn Blake, MBCommunications, Cincinnati, Ohio

I, along with other members of our firm, primarily represent employees in difficult employment termination cases. Over several years, our firm and opposing counsel have selected Bob Steinberg as a mediator to facilitate a pre-trial resolution because of Bob’s experience as a former federal Magistrate Judge and his experience handling complex litigation. I have found Bob to be creative in his approaches to assisting both sides to achieve resolution, and he is a “go to” mediator in the Midwest. I would heartily recommend him if you are looking for an experienced mediator capable of achieving success.
