Thoughtful Advocate with Depth of Experience

I worked with Bob Trentham on a complex medical device litigation case, and his expertise was evident from the start. With over five decades of experience, including AV-rating by Martindale-Hubbell and multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' accolades, his reputation preceded him—and it was well earned. He navigated the nuances of pharmaceutical liability with precision, leveraging his deep knowledge of product liability law to craft a compelling defense strategy. His courtroom presence was confident, and his ability to dissect technical specifications into compelling legal arguments was impressive. The outcome was favorable, partly due to his meticulous preparation. My only minor critique would be that his responsiveness to emails could occasionally lag, but this was offset by the thoroughness of his work. A seasoned professional who brings both skill and integrity to every case.
