    Bob Rock
    Caring, Knowledgeable, Results

    Bob Rock was my lawyer from Azar. We haven’t been in a situation like we were in. The care and advice we received throughout our ordeal was perfect. We were navigating all the challenges that come with traumatic brain injury, and income interruption, etc. It effected every area of our lives. Bob gave us timely and accurate advice during a two year time span. It helped immensely. He was informed, patient and calm. He knew what was in our best interest and responded quickly when we reached out. The financial recovery that Bob got for me is so helpful because I will have future medical needs. The injury changed my life but Bob Rock changed my future. I’m so grateful.
