Excellent Employment Litigator

Robert C. Tice is an exceptional attorney with an impressive 47 years of experience in employment litigation. His deep expertise in representing employers in complex labor and employment disputes was evident throughout my case. He successfully defended my company against a high-stakes wrongful termination claim, demonstrating his profound knowledge of Michigan employment law and his prowess in jury trials. While his communication was thorough and professional, I wish his response time to initial inquiries could have been slightly quicker. Despite this minor drawback, his strategic approach and extensive trial experience delivered a favorable outcome. His recognition in litigation and management-focused cases only reinforces his standing as a top-tier defense litigator. I would highly recommend Robert for any employment-related legal matters.

Competent but lacked responsiveness

Robert C. Tice handled my employment dispute with professionalism and deep knowledge of labor law. His 47 years of experience and jury trial victories gave me confidence in my case. However, communication was inconsistent, and I often waited days for responses. While his defense strategy was solid, I expected more attention to detail in client updates. A recognized litigator, but not the most accessible or proactive in my experience.

Expert Defense Litigator

I had the privilege of working with Robert C. Tice on a complex labor and employment case, and I cannot speak highly enough about his expertise and professionalism. With over 47 years of experience, Bob's deep understanding of employment law and his strategic approach to litigation were evident from our first meeting. He meticulously prepared our defense, leveraging his extensive trial experience to anticipate and counter the opposing counsel's arguments effectively. Bob's recognition in Labor and Employment Litigation is well-deserved—his ability to distill complex legal concepts into clear, actionable strategies was invaluable. Throughout the process, he maintained open and transparent communication, ensuring we were always informed and confident in our position. The case resolved favorably, thanks in large part to Bob's relentless advocacy and insight. His dedication to his clients and his unwavering commitment to excellence make him an outstanding attorney.

Knowledgeable but Averages in Communication

I sought out Robert C. Tice for labor and employment litigation after a complex workplace dispute escalated. With 47 years of experience, his courtroom expertise was evident, and he successfully navigated our case through the federal court system in Michigan. Tice has a strong track record, as recognized by his special focus in management litigation, and that certainly showed in his strategic defense. However, while he was competently prepared, the communication during the process felt a bit disjointed at times. There were moments where I wished for more proactive updates, and the response times to my questions were occasionally slower than I'd hoped. The outcome was favorable, and his deep experience in labor law was invaluable, but the overall experience could have been smoother if he had prioritized clearer, more consistent communication. Still, I’d recommend him for his legal acumen, just with the caveat that clients should manage expectations regarding responsiveness.

Competent but Could Improve Communication

I worked with Robert C. Tice on a complex employment litigation matter, and while his legal expertise was clearly evident, I found the communication aspects of our engagement to be somewhat lacking. With over 47 years of experience, especially in defense litigation for labor and employment cases, I expected more proactive updates on the case's progress. The firm's recognition in this area—like the Litigation - Labor and Employment distinction—suggests a high level of competency, and Mr. Tice certainly demonstrated that in court. However, the wait times between responses to my inquiries were often longer than I'd hoped, and I sometimes felt like I had to prompt him for details. That said, his deep knowledge of Michigan state and federal labor laws was invaluable, and he managed the jury verdict process efficiently. If you're in need of a seasoned litigator, he's certainly qualified, but be prepared to follow up frequently to stay informed.
