Rob and his assistant Valerie were the best team I could’ve chosen to help me fight the allegations that were brought against me. The way the cases were handled smoothly and the manner in which they were resolved you can tell without a doubt that Rob and his team are one of if not the best in the game. They’ve helped me regain control over my life and were kind and communicative through the whole long 2-3 year battle of these cases. I can proudly say that by the grace of God and the help of Rob and Valerie I am once again a clean record free man. Couldn’t thank them enough. I 100% recommend.

I cannot recommend Rob & his team enough, they were so helpful and made the entire process so effortless! His team was very responsive to my initial contact about the ticket that I received and kept great communication throughout the entire process. I received the ticket several hours from where I live and they worked with me that I could settle everything conveniently from home and explained all paperwork and next steps in a way that was easy to understand. Valerie and Rob were both so kind and helpful through the process, can’t thank them enough!

Mr. Wells in my opinion is the best sentencing attorney you could find. He went above and beyond to help me. He teaches other attorney's his way of doing things and they are lucky that he does so. I can't begin to guess how many lives he has touched, from fellow attorneys to people being accused of criminal activities. I believe it's because of Mr. Wells that I am able to be home with my family right now instead of a federal penitentiary. I could go on and on but just take my word for it, you would be hard pressed to find a better attorney. You can't put a price on freedom as opposed to time away from your family and he will do everything possible within his power to preserve your freedom. If you find yourself reading reviews on this site and you come across this one I would say scroll no more, you have found the attorney that will be the best choice for you.

I have known Attorney Rob Wells for over 10 years. I highly recommend him. He is a diligent, knowledgeable and skilled lawyer. I have seen firsthand the quality representation that he provides to each and every one of his clients. He is one of the best Criminal Defense Attorneys in New York State. As a fellow Attorney myself, I have personally referred many individuals to Rob to assist them in State Court and Federal Court matters. Each and every individual that I have referred to Rob have received superior results and have thanked me for referring their case to him. Thank you so much Rob for being so compassionate yet aggressive in the Courtroom.

I met Mr. Robert about 7 years ago, and I have worked directly with him on multiple occasions after hiring him to help some friends and family. Mr. Rob's is not your typical criminal lawyer, in addition to his exceptional experience and strong connections, he is very down to earth and excellent at communicating with his customers. You will not be case number in his file, but you will be treated like family and given all the attention you deserve and need.

This was my first time experience ever needing a lawyer. I couldn’t have found a better one than Mr. Wells. I was so overwhelmed and emotional with the predicament I found myself in, but when I met him face to face in his office, he put me completely at ease. I just knew I was in the best hands possible. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, gentle and kind. Valerie is equally to be given praise for her knowledge and hard work, giving answers in her to the point, kindly manner. I totally recommend their help.

Our family had (has?) a delicate situation that went on for close to two years prior to reaching it's denouement. Robert displayed a fundamental, and unwavering belief, that the law was designed to serve justice and not as a one size fits all punishment for ambitious up and comers to build their future political careers on. Through my family's entire travail of dancing through a repeat offense, Robert managed, with inspiration and some small amount of brilliance, to dig into the minutiae of the legal code and find precedent that caused the prosecution to be stymied at practically every turn from gross overreach. Robert, and his secretary even, undid the trepidation we had in getting a lawyer given my families previous brush with getting representation. Robert demonstrated a level of care, compassion, and attention to detail that has restored our faith in the legal profession. If you have a criminal case within the greater Syracuse area you'd be a fool to not try and retain Roberts services

Was referred to Rob by a friend/lawyer. I couldn’t have been happier. Not only did Rob handle my case. But he and his assistant Valerie where there through every step of the process from all the legal stuff to answering or returning my phone calls whenever I was nervous or felt like I was unprepared. He doesn’t talk to you like you are supposed to know everything but explains everything in a way you can always understand. I couldn’t recommend a better attorney.

Rob and his assistant Val were tremendous. I was recommended Rob through a friend and I’m so happy that they gave me his number. I was charged with DWI and he got it reduced for me to a dwai which he explained is only a traffic violation, compared to what could have been a misdemeanor. Because of this I have no criminal record. Valerie has been great too. She has been there for me every step of the way and is always available whenever I had questions or concerns. These two are reasonably priced and have plenty of experience. From day one when I first talk to Rob he explained all the steps that were going to happen which really helped to ease my mind. Would definitely recommend for anyone that makes a mistake.

I contacted Rob Wells' office on a late Friday afternoon in regards to a federal violation case in which my husband was scheduled to see the chief judge the following week. Immediately, his assistant Valerie scheduled a consultation for that Monday. Once I met Rob, I unloaded my fears, concerns, and worry. He listened, carefully. Once I gathered myself, Rob immediately got to work DURING the consultation. He made a few phone calls and gathered information about the case, judge, prosecutor and so on. He explained to me, in his opinion, what could be done, what should be done, and his price. Before agreeing to anything he answered my countless questions without feeling rushed to leave. In fact, he arranged for me to extend my meter parking instead! I left his office with a clearer mind, I retained him the next day. From there, I knew my husband was in the best hands he could be. Rob gathered information, visited my husband in jail, and created his case in which, unfortunately, my husband was guilty of. The day of sentencing was nerve wrecking, to say the least. The prosecutor savagely stated their side in which the judge sided with. Until Rob Wells spoke. He gave everyone in the court room a different side of my husband. A man, a father, who's family needed him. The judge gave my husband a second chance though he pleaded guilty! Honestly, this outcome was NOT suppose to happen. After the dark days were behind us, Val and Rob both reached out to check on my family. I will forever be thankful for Rob and Val.

Mr. Wells is a great attorney. Due to his knowledge and kindness, he made it possible for me to fight against an injustice that had happened to me and the people who perpetrated it. His help changed my life for the better because he cared enough to give me that chance. He has a lot of experience, is fantastic to work with and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I am grateful to him for everything he did to help me.

I hired Mr. Wells pretty late into my case. When I went to his office I told him about the case, about the plea deal that was revoked due to my current attorney doing nothing for me. Mr. Wells gave me his advice and then told me his fee. The fee was more than reasonable. From the second I hired him he was on the phone with the DA and fixing all the problems my previous lawyer made. He went above and beyond his job calling me and explaining every single thing to me in detail. He showed up when he was supposed to and even showed up at times he didn’t need to. Mr. Wells made sure that I knew everything that was going on and kept me up to date with any new information he found out. I will not go into detail of my case but I only wish I would have retained him earlier. Not knowing anything about federal court, I still had a lawyer that never worked on federal cases. The prior lawyer really dropped the ball, derailed the case and made Mr. Wells’ work a lot harder than it had to be. No matter what, he stuck in there and did everything possible to give me the best outcome I could get. There was never a day that my calls weren’t returned (which is amazing because lawyers now a days rarely pick up the phone and/or call you back in a timely manner). His assistant is totally on the ball with everything. She made sure I was taken care of as did Mr. Wells. Leading up to the end of my case he really kept up with me and made sure he did everything in this case to give me the best outcome. I had to trust this man with my life and I’m glad I did. Had I retained him sooner, I think the outcome would have been even better, with that said I think more people need to know that the second your case goes federal, call a federal lawyer. If anyone in my life or anyone I know runs into a problem and needs a lawyer, the only person I would ever recommend them getting is Rob Wells. I live a ways away from him and he drove down to my town several times, going above and beyond for me. He not only dealt with my federal case but helped aid in other cases I had prior, so they wouldn’t effect the outcome in this case. I could go on but I think you get the picture. So if you need a good lawyer that does his job, cares about you, keeps you updated, dedicates himself to your case I would highly suggest you retain him.

Rob Wells was a very dedicated lawyer. He is sought after so i made sure as myself I kept in constant contact with him. If he couldn’t take a call he would always find time to schedule a call. when the case became clearer he was as clear and informative as he could be. constant discussion throughout a year process keeps you sane even if it isn’t the most informative call. i would recommend him highly. He will defend you seriously and he is on the defensive side rather than the offensive. he doesn’t intent to attack the other. he intends to boost you up and protect you.

It is my pleasure to write a review and recommendation of the exceptional service and care provided to me by the offices of Attorney Wells and his cheerful assistant Valerie. Both were very easy to work with, offered clear updates of progress, and kept their word as to the outcome. Should I have a question, or need an update, Valerie cheerfully offered it. The legal world is complex, and to have a trusted and respected professional to help navigate the waters is a must. The legal fees were fair and reasonable, and the result exceeded my expectations. The wheels of justice may grind slowly, but they keep on grinding to a fair and just outcome when you have a professional like Attorney Wells and his team on your side. I would wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Attorney Wells for any legal matter.

I was working as a school bus monitor. I had an incident on the bus where a student was causing a disturbance, As i tried to buckle the student he was spitting and trying to bite me. Consequently he was hit in the head with the seat belt ( not intentionally ). As a result I was charged with child endangerment. The company hired Mr. Wells on my behave. Since nothing like this has ever happened to me in the past, I was nervous and did not know what to expect. The first time I spoke to Mr. Wells he put me at ease. As well as being an excellent, he was very understanding and a real human being with feelings. Mr. Wells as well as his assistant Valarie, who was also very wonderful, guided me through every step of the way. They answered all my question and provided me with all the information i needed. Mr. Wells also gets to know you as a person rather that an object. As a result of Mr. Wells, I did not receive any fine or community service. If I stay out of trouble for a year the slate will be wiped clean. I could not thank Mr. Wells or Valarie enough. I would highly recommend Mr. wells no matter how small or large the case is./

Mr. Wells was the kindest lawyer I have ever met. He was assigned to my son's case that had very serious charges. He took the time to get to know my son and showed compassion, respect and heart felt concern. Being a public defender I was amazed at the delegence he showed to my son's case. He was able to get a 30 to life sentence cut in half for my son. I will be forever grateful for what he did for my son and the insight he had to see my son's true character in spite of the seriousness of the situation my son was in. Thank you Mr. Wells.

Mr. Wells represented a close family member during a situation which I can only describe as beyond stressful. He spent a great deal of time not only understanding the intricacies of the case but also learning about the family members who were deeply affected by the situation. His knowledge of the law is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what he brings to the table. He greatly understands the culture of the legal process including but not limited to the importance of having a good, loving and close family/friend support system, knowing what particular judges expect based on his vast experience, and how to guide his client's (including family members/friends of clients) on how to conduct oneself throughout what seems like an infinite and tedious process. To Mr. Wells, being a lawyer isn't just a job to make money, it's a means of helping at a time when many people feel helpless. There isn't a review that someone can write that could do enough justice in explaining how great of an attorney and person Mr. Wells is, and I am glad to know him.

I have known Rob for over 20 years and had never had the occasion to actually have to hire a criminal defense lawyer. But that changed when my son did a stupid thing in desperation and was arrested. After my son had called to tell me he had been arrested my first instinct was to call Rob. He met with my son and I on the following day. I was a mess - a frantic mom - one who was very upset with her son for doing what he did cause he was not raised that way - at all! Rob could sense my mood right away and calmly explained to us what was going to happen in court and what he expected from my son. I left his office knowing that somehow everything was going to be alright. This was a very dark episode in our family and Rob and his assistant Val were a very bright light. I came into that office with a very heavy mama's heart and left with a very relieved mama's heart. Yes my son was going to face the consequences of his actions - but not as bad as I had feared.

When I was arrested for assault in the 3rd degree...when I actually did not commit any crime at all, Rob was great from start to finish. He was thorough and made sure he covered all his bases. he made sure I got out of this charge with nothing more than a violation. I have no criminal record at all, and he did this so it would not effect my future, as I was a young kid at the time! Valerie was amazing with keeping in touch and both of them were so helpful even after my case was closed when I needed info/ documents for my military career! I can't thank either of them enough.

Mr. Wells and Valerie both helped me out tremendously during my case. After a girl accused me and a friend of raping her, Mr. Wells was able to reduce my charges from Rape in the Third Degree (Class E Felony) down to Forcible Touching (Class A Misdemeanor). Mr. Wells' hard work, effort, time, organization, experience, knowledge, and professionality was able to give me a second chance in life, rather than spend time in state prison or be under the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) for a crime I did not commit. He is more than a lawyer to me, he's a hero. He is a very respectful, caring and a hard working man. He will give every single thing he's got to make the outcome of your case any better than it already is for the defendant. He is a one of a kind lawyer and I strongly recommend him for any criminal case. Again I cannot thank Mr. Wells and Valerie enough for everything they have done for me. Thank you guys, tremendously much appreciated.

Throughout the past 4 years I’ve hired various attorneys for criminal matters scattered throughout central New York. I’ve never been more pleased with an attorney than I am with Rob and Valerie. They worked for 2 years on my case, tirelessly. I never felt that rob was irritated as most lawyers would be in situations like these. He never lost momentum. Beyond this, he was not only there to deal with the charges I had with him but, the charges I was facing in other courts throughout the duration of my time with him, without a fee of course. I felt that Rob dealt with my case unlike any other lawyer. Rather than defending a troubled client (myself) and accepting the charges as I was , which would have been much worse. Rob was like a father figure and he pushed me to be doing the right things to keep myself out of trouble now and in the future. Which I felt came with leniency and understanding from our judge. My charges carried hefty fines and years of imprisonment and rob miraculously defended me until i was given a short term probation period and a low fine. My contact with rob was always simple, they were always responsive and always made sure that I had a clear understanding of everything that was happening step by step. He had a personal concern for my well-being unlike any lawyer. I would recommend Rob’s help to anyone who is lost in the legal system.

We meet Robert (Rob) Wells when we had an issue with our daughter. It was over a year ago. He represented her and us and all went well. The case was handled professionally, by him and his entire legal team. I followed up recently with him. Our daughter is doing extremely well. She has recently been promoted in her nursing field and has also gone for an interview for a managerial position which I know she will get. The bottom line is - I have always had confidence in my daughter and with the help of Robert Wells and his legal team she was given the opportunity to continue to live her life, thru the adversities, and move on. I honestly believe if it wasn't for Rob, and him believing in her, and helping us.... she would be ok... but it might not have been the same outcome. Please - trust in Robert Wells and his team. They will absolutely treat you like family and will work day and night to get you the outcome you deserve. I'm blessed to have met him. Sincerely !!!!!

My wife and I was on a trip to Syracuse for a job. I was arrested and charged with a felony while we there. I was not familiar with the area at all and searched the internet for a lawyer. I came across Mr Wells and he had great reviews so we went in for a consultation. After meeting him I knew I wanted him as my lawyer. Mr Wells is not only a great lawyer but a great person. He went above and beyond on my case and delivered even better than expected. He was straightforward and makes you feel like you are more than just another client. Mrs Valerie, his secretary, is just as great. She was always more than willing to answer any questions we had. And also Annaleigh was equally amazing. She was another lawyer that assisted on the case. You really can't go wrong hiring Mr Wells, I highly recommend him!

My relationship with Mr. Wells is one in which I owe him a great deal of respect and gratitude. I was recently arrested for a DWI with a prior in another state. I was guided by a chain of lawyers to contact Mr. Wells and I could not be more appreciative to everyone involved that we crossed paths. In a few short months, Rob and his secretary, Valerie took a great deal of care into my particular and case. Their were a lot of unknowns in the realm of interstate compacts and Mr. Wells was able to enlighten me on all of them - and when he was not aware of something - he made sure he found out the proper answers. I came to Rob as a scared man shaken up after what I had done and he provided the comfort of a human being and the reality of a good lawyer. He was always honest and forthcoming with me, never sugar coating anything as some lawyers can do. He found plenty of time for phone conferences with me as I live nearly five hours away. He keeps in contact with his clients to ensure them they are real people with individual feelings letting them know that they aren’t just another case file. Valerie is a top notch secretary, constantly keeping you in the know via emails and voicemails for any pertinent information and quickly does all the leg work so you don’t have to. I know nothing about law, so for me to feel at ease in a time of worry and unsurity, I owe a debt of gratitude to both of them. They handled everything with care and professionalism throughout the entire process. At the courthouse, Mr. Wells conducted himself with confidence at all times. He knows his way around the courtroom and was considerate to everyone in it. His presence was genuinely relaxing for everyone involved, and it was clear that he commands a great deal of respect from all he comes in contact with. There were, as always, complications to overcome, but he quickly struck a deal to send me on my way about as unscathed as I could realistically hope for. With a little work from myself, and a lot of heavy lifting from Valerie and Mr. Wells, he kept me out of any jail time in NY which was nothing short of a miracle to me. As a single father, I’m not sure how I would have dealt with adding more struggle to my little family. Mr. Wells saw me as a person, recognized my faults and helped me through this difficult time that I put myself in. I would highly recommend him to absolutely anyone in confidence that he would apply the same amount of willingness to get the best result for them as he did for me. He deserves as much praise as a lawyer can receive and I wish him nothing but the best going forward. I am more than pleased with the outcome and I’m not sure I would be in the same position had I gone with someone else.

Mr.Wells and his secretary Val are the most amazing team i was very lucky to have in my corner. When i walked into Robs office i was facing a minimum maximum sentence of 10 years times 2 due to i had 2 federal indiments thats 20 years i was facing. With alot of work from Val and Rob and myself the results were amazing. It was a long hard road for almost 2 years and even though Rob was working on several important cases during mine he made sure Val was always by my side she became my lifeline more than i can count. Now i know all results are different for everyone as all cases are not the same,and i did violate my pretrail release and did 90 days in jail for the violation but when it came to the sentencing for my indiments the results were amazing i recieved house arrest,probation and not 1 more single day behind bars unless i choose to go that way but Rob and Val went above and beyond anything i expected.thank you both you are 2 amazing workers of miracles.

Rob Wells was one of the first lawyers in the Syracuse area to come up when I was searching for reputable and great lawyers, and he did not disappoint. Rob took on a slew of driving issues I had acquired, amounting to more than 6. He worked through every single one, some even being misdemeanor charges or having potential to be charged higher, and had them all greatly reduced. I was in fear that the charges brought against me were going to be harsh and that I may be looking at jail time. Rob had these charges lowered so greatly that I was offered a minuscule violation and even lesser fine than expected. His legal secretary Valerie was always prompt, and was also right there through out the whole process. She would keep a constant line of communication open and was also very knowledgeable on the law, answering any questions I had promptly and accurately. Aside from the phenomenal outcome of all of my charges, Rob and Valerie were extremely personable, kind, and down to earth. A family friend who is in high school needed to observe a court case for a credit and have paperwork signed off on, they were both very welcoming to her and signed the paper work with a smile. We met Rob at his office for a court date, he walked us to the courthouse as we did not know how to get there. On the way he told us so much about the history of Syracuse and the buildings we were passing by as well as some architectural history related. To say Rob and Valerie went above and beyond is an understatement. If I have any legal trouble in the future( lets hope not!) I will be going through Mr. Wells again. If you are looking for a lawyer who gets the job done, is well known and respected in the legal community and among his peers, and has a fountain of patience.. Rob is the guy!

I have worked with Mr. Wells and his team for quite some time to resolve my personal legal matter. I can't say anything but great things for these people. When I was feeling alone and helpless I found this team that helped me get a result that I never thought was possible. But more than the legal matters, Rob and his people treated me with respect. Rob told me time and time again "We are not the worst thing that we've done." These words stayed with me throughout the process and helped me get myself back together. Rob and his Private Investigator Mary genuinely cared about how I was doing and that I was o.k. Val, the office manager, was always happy to see or hear from me no matter how busy she was. I was truly lucky to work with these people during such a trying time. I would certainly recommend Mr. Wells and his team to assist anyone having legal problems. They will fight for you, not just as a client, but as a person.

I was facing a traffic felony for a DWI charge. I was facing not only a felony change for AUO, but also possible jail time from 1-4 years in state prison. Not to mention a blemish on my record forever. I consulted with Robert and after a few minutes of speaking to him, I could immediately tell he had nothing but my best interest in mind. I took his advice from day 1 and I did what I needed to do with as far as evaluation, counseling, etc. Throughout this entire time of the stress of "what if's". Robert was calming and assured me the best possible outcome. His main goal was to have the felony charge reduced. The outcome was better than one could have hoped. Robert had spoken to the DA and was able to take their original offer of 45 days in jail, knocked down to no time in jail and I would need to be on probation. Not to mention the felony reduced to a misdemeanor. I am more than happy with the outcome and will refer anyone to him that has any issues that they may encounter. He is a genuine guy and a great attorney. Also, Val which is Robert's "right hand woman" is great. She is on the ball and makes sure that anything that comes up or is changed, the client is notified immediately. This is something a lot of law offices forget to do. She is on top of it all and really makes this process easier for the client, me. Most lawyers promise the world, take your money and maybe get you a decent deal. I am writing this to make it known that Robert is a man of his word and will go to bat for any of his clients to get them the best possible outcome for whatever issues they are facing. So in closing, I would recommend Robert and Val as a team you should hire God for bid you ever should get into a bind. They are the best. Thank You Val and Rob.

He was recommended to us by a friend to help with a very difficult and stressful legal case. Hiring him was the best decision we've ever made.

Rob inherited my representation late in the process from another attorney. The case was complicated, involving numerous other attorneys on technical federal matters that had been ongoing for several years. Rob started at a deficit but immediately pulled together an expert team, gained full comprehension of the matters at hand, and developed a clear course in pursuit of the best outcome. In short order he was at speed and bypassing the others involved. He was able to recoup some of the previously missed opportunities and avoid further missteps in my case. I believe he afforded me the best possible outcome. Ordinarily that would be enough to say in recommendation of any attorney. However, that is far short of best qualities Rob has to offer. He is an earnest and honorable man who practices law from a knowledgeable standpoint with tenacity, integrity, and compassion. With Rob, you will know every aspect of your case, you will know it at the earliest possible moment, and you will always be prepared. No last minute uninformed scramble with Rob because his team, and namely Valerie, will keep you on top of everything. If you miss an email from Rob, Valerie will call to make sure you stay timely. I've dealt with many attorney's over the years, fortunately not as a defendant other than this, and could not recommend anyone higher.

Rob has helped me out tremendously through the rough patch I've had this year. He is an exceptional lawyer for many reasons. Not only is he professional and intelligent, but he actually cares about his clients. He isn't one of those lawyers that walks into a court room and does not know the face or background of his client. I've been working with Rob since January and I could not be more happy with the work he has done for me. Unfortunately, I received a couple DWI charges that I could not handle on my own. I have never been in trouble in my entire life until this year. Bad things happen to good people and Rob has made me feel that way ever since I've represented him as my attorney. Not only that, but he's just so genuine and honest. He wants his clients to learn from their mistakes, yet, he will do his very best to make their lives as stress free as possible. He's extremely thorough and he always thinks outside of the box. Also, his secretary is absolutely wonderful as well and she always communicates with me and let's me know what's going on and follows up with me on a weekly basis. Rob is so reassuring but he's always been straight forward with me about any situation that's risen throughout this process. Although I have felt many different emotions throughout this difficult time, he has been able to save my freedom and my sanity. I'm so unbelievably happy with how things have turned out and I feel extremely lucky to have Mr. Wells as my lawyer. I would strongly suggest him to anyone that needs legal assistance.

I recently hired Robert Wells to aid me in a harassment charge (violation). Robert, and his superior support staff, met with me at his office on the day following my arraignment, gathered critical information from me over the subsequent days, and worked through the weekend to prepare a detailed pre-trial report. Robert met with me at his office for a total of three times within a seven day period, and had his staff speaking with me on the phone routinely during this time. I was extremely impressed with his diligence, professionalism, and care put into my case. Robert took the time to read his written report aloud to the judge at my hearing, communicate effectively with the DA, both of which resulted in a new court appearance, for the purpose adjournment, pending some action on my end between court dates.

I was part of an extremely complicated Federal case, which involved about 22 co-defendants (most of which I had never even met and several that were not even from the Central New York area). The case was so confusing and so complicated, but Rob never wavered from the difficulty of the matters at hand. Rob, his team & I waded through every scrap of paperwork that was involved with the case. This amounted to hours upon hours of work, but never once did he express frustration or lack of concern. Actually, I was the one who expressed frustration, but Rob went out of his way to make me feel comfortable & quelled my frustrations (through various means- he is an excellent guitar player & a wonderful photographer, things close to my own heart) in order to calm me down so that we could get back to work on the case. I truly appreciate all of the hours (which amounted to over two years of work) that he & his team provided to me. Rob & his team gave 100% to my case, and I wouldn't be where I am today without him. As a matter of fact, his thoroughness from the very start brought to light some underlying mental health issues in me that I may not have even noticed on my own, nor addressed. Despite the fact that my life has changed forever due to my case, I am much better off (now & will be in the future), thanks to Rob & his team. Rob's expertice & knowledge of Federal law is second to none. He, and his team, left no stone unturned as it related to my case. And he is the absolute best when it comes to sentencing. I was facing a good amount of time, but with his work, reports, and assistance in getting me the mental help I needed (which underlied a good part of my case), he got me into the help I needed. Rob Wells looks at his clients as people first, criminal clients second, and for that I will be eternally grateful to him. For the first time in years, I am the most confident & best person that I know I am. Rob brings out the best in people & allows them to thrive, and go on to be the best they have ever been. Rob thinks outside of the box. He comes up with ideas for his clients to help not only themselves, but also to show others the mistakes his clients have made, so that other people may not follow in their footsteps, which I believe helps everyone, including the community at large. Sometimes incarceration is inevitable; we all have to account for our actions & take responsibility for them. Nevertheless, Rob always treated me with the upmost respect. He & his team were a great source of support not only to me, but to my family as well. We couldn't have gotten through this situation without him, and I couldn't think of a better person to have been by my side, nor a better lawyer to have represented me; he's second to none. Thanks Rob, for everything. I am now on the road to recovery, thanks to you.

Mr. Wells is a very talented lawyer. My child had made a bad decision and stole a $30 item from a store and got caught. Mr. Wells treated my child with respect but explained how serious the situation was. Mr. Wells instructed my child on items to gather for him to create a defense to present to the court. My child contacted several individuals personally and requested letters of reference to be sent to the lawyer. This was very humbling to my child who had to explain to each person what occured, explain what was learned and how this impulsive decision will not happen again then request a letter of reference to the lawyer. I really think my child has learned a life lesson which was greatly enhanced by the serious treatment by Mr. Wells. Mr. Wells sent a well prepared package to the District Attorney to review prior to my child's initial court hearing. Mr. Wells arrived at the court on the court date early and was ready to defend my child. The court process was very smooth, with a favorable outcome. I would recommend Mr. Wells to any family thrown into a situation that they are not prepared to deal with, as this was my family's first time with any type of criminal issue.

Rob is an amazing lawyer! I have hired him twice and another member of my family once, and he has always achieved the optimal outcome. He and his secretary are always easy to be reached and very helpful with any questions I may have. I have always felt that Rob truly cared about the outcome of my cases, always held my best interests in mind, and truly tried his hardest to ensure I reached the best possible outcome.

Mr. Wells is a fantastic lawyer! I retained him to represent me in a case against New York State and he fought tooth and nail for me. I would recommend him to any of my family and friends that were looking for a great lawyer!

Mr. Wells has represented me in many legal situations. From several traffic tickets and misdemeanors, to a -rather serious- criminal defense matter. And boy, did I get lucky to have landed with such an OUTSTANDING attorney. No matter the situation, I can always know that he and his team are there to provide me with the utmost care, respect, and expertise that I could ever ask for. His work never fails to far surpass my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Wells for any legal matter whatsoever. I put my life in his hands, and I would do it again without a second thought.

When my son got into legal trouble, Mr Wells and his colleagues and staff treated us with great consideration, care, and respect. They took a very thorough look at all angles of the situation and skillfully negotiated the charges with the D.A.'s office. They were great at explaining clearly what different terms, pleas and options meant to my boy. What started out pretty terrifying was made much more bearable by their patience, thoughtfulness and skill. They were very careful to explain to both of us what to expect in general and in the courtroom, so we had no surprises, which was a huge relief. They walked us through everything and stood with us through every step of the legal process. I would recommend this office very highly with absolutely no hesitation to anyone in need of legal help. You couldn't be in better hands. These folks are quite simply wonderful.

I hired Mr. Wells to represent me for a criminal violation. Upon first meeting Mr. Wells he seemed incredibly affable and sincere. He assured me that he would work extremely hard to resolve my case. This case was quite simplistic and more of a negotiation between a lawyer and the DA/Judge, so I had no reason to be alarmed when Mr. Wells immediately introduced me to one of his colleagues and said she would be taking care of most of my case. 3 months later I had barely even been able to get a phone called returned from Mr. Wells is office and when I was able to get through both him and his colleague seemed to barely acknowledge that they were even working on the case. On the day of the pre-trail, Mr. Wells did not show up instead he sent his colleague who was incredibly unprepared she didn't know even the most basics of the case. The day after the pre trail I received a call from Mr. Wells stating that the best he could do was to get me a completely unreasonable deal one in which I had to do triple the standard amount of community service hours usually reserved for the violation. When I questioned if I had any other options he bitterly stated "get a new lawyer." Essentially he was completely prepared to leave me in this terrible legal situation 3 months into the legal proceedings. After Mr. Wells blatantly did the least amount of work possible (occasionally returning a phone call with no useful information) solving my case I was forced to take the deal set forth. Mr. Wells condescendingly kept remarking that if I wanted a better deal I should hire a better lawyer. After this experience I would never recommend his or his colleague to anyone.
