Robert, born in Mays Landing, New Jersey, was raised and spent most of his life in Alpharetta, Georgia. He attended Alpharetta High School and played on both the varsity soccer team and his club team, the Alpharetta Ambush. Upon graduating, Robert enrolled at the University of Georgia, where he earned his degree cum laude in International Affairs, focusing on Political Economy.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, Robert attended Georgia State University College of Law, where he was awarded both the Dean’s Scholarship and Buttonwood Foundation Scholarship for academic achievement. During his time at Georgia State, Robert was an avid member of the College of Law’s mock trial team. In every year of his membership, Robert represented Georgia State at national trial competitions, as well as winning the 2016 William Daniel National Trial Competition.
In addition to mock trial, Robert served as an extern to then-Fulton County Chief Judge Gail Tusan and provided pro bono assistance to elderly investors who had been defrauded or had their retirement funds negligently managed. While still in law school, Robert served as co-counsel in a nearly week-long securities arbitration where he secured a victory against a global investment bank on behalf of an elderly investor. Robert credits that moment—and his client’s reaction—with cementing his love for assisting others.
Robert’s first job after graduating from law school was as an assistant district attorney, where he prosecuted a full gamut of felony crimes, with a particular focus on white-collar crimes. During that time, Robert successfully tried multiple felony cases and achieved favorable outcomes on numerous appeals.
To transition back into civil litigation, Robert eventually joined a national insurance defense firm, where he represented some of the world’s largest insurance companies against a range of insurance-related claims. Ultimately, however, the work proved to be unfulfilling. While Robert always loved to litigate, he missed representing individuals and the feeling one gets helping those in need. As such, in January 2022, Robert joined The Stoddard Firm to, once again, focus exclusively on assisting victims in recovering their due compensation.
Now, since joining The Stoddard Firm, Robert represents those catastrophically injured as well as those individuals whose family members were the victims of wrongful death. Robert finds energy in assisting those in some of the most difficult situations imaginable, and works relentlessly to secure compensation for his clients.
When not working, Robert enjoys volunteering his time to young, future lawyers by serving as a judge in many of Georgia’s high school, college, and law school mock trial competitions. In his personal life, Robert is an avid sports fan, following everything from college football and his Georgia Bulldogs to Formula 1. Robert is a local of Decatur and spends much of his free time with family and friends.
