When I reached out to check in, I was told that they didn't know I had paid my retainer yet (even though they had already deposited and cleared the check), and that they were very busy in court. I'll be looking elsewhere for a more attentive and consistent firm...

My husband and I have full custody of his son. However we seeked out the help of Robert Backus to…read morefight for supervises visits while the child was in the care of his biological mother due to safety concerns. Robert is a very nice man. However his attorney services were so poor my husband and I could cry. Throughout the course of it all I sent him every photo, document, and supplied him with all of the information he would need for court. Yet were charged hundreds of dollars for him just to receive and view the photos (which he MESSED up several times in court). My mom and husbands father were testifying to things they had seen. Rob told us in a meeting he'd reach out to both of them to consult. He never did AND as they were on the stand he asked my mom the question he was supposed to ask his father. Another time the judge asked if there was any abuse (THE REASON WE WERE IN COURT) and I'm on the stand shaking my head yes to Rob and he says nothing further and sits down. He seemed preoccupied, unfocused, and unorganized the ENTIRE time. When we got the bill it was so disappointing. We made it VERY CLEAR during our initial meeting that if we were to come close to reaching our retainer max that we be told and made aware so that we could decide whether to hold off or try to come up with more money. Well after court was done the secretary, Alexandra, informed me we owed an additional $1,500. I was so frustrated. I was being charged hundreds and hundreds of dollars for Rob to email me a few times to organize a meeting and for him to call the Sheriffs Dept to check the status of a serving. While "politically correct" the secretary was unhelpful and brushed off my concerns. She's probably have been a better lawyer for us. I will never use Rob, this office nor recommend them to ANYONE.

I hired Rob Backus to battle an unlawful traffic violation. He knew it was bogus from the start and…read moreI suspected so as well. The judge quickly threw the case out once we had a hearing because of his extensive knowledge and expertise in this matter. He made a very good case. He was very kind, helpful, and confident and quickly got back to me when I had questions or concerns. I had plenty of questions and concerns and his replies were right to the point with comforting overtones which really helped my state of mind in these challenging times. Life is hard enough without having to worry about police injustice so it's good to know someone will go to bat for you when injustice strikes. He was also reasonably priced which just puts the icing on the cake. I would certainly hire him again if I ever had to!

They have missed every deadline they promised, usually without notice or explanation. Payouts have been delayed to the point where I'm torn about whether to believe they are pocketing the extra interest on the settlement funds from prolonging the process, or if they haven't hired enough staff to complete the auditing within their given timeframe. I think the court should be made aware of their slothfulness.
