I have dealt with Robert for over 10 years, both on a personal level as well as for the condo association that I am a member of. I think he is wonderful! He has changed my perspective on lawyers. He is a lawyer with a heart! He cares for his clients and knows his stuff.! I would recommend him to anyone. After all how many lawyers are there that would call you on a Sunday night to put your mind at rest on an issue? HE WOULD AND DID !! Keep up the great work!!

My wife worked for Robert N. Charman for over 15 years. We also had him do some legal work for us including our Wills. Bob is easy to talk to, very friendly and accessible, explains all the legal jargon in normal English so one can understand, very particular ensuring there are no errors in any documentation, his fees are more than reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone.

This summer I asked Robert for a will, a simple one. He had not completed it after three months nothing was ready. After trying to contact him and a sleepless night I contact another lawyer and had the will complete in two days. Robert is easy to talk with.
