Born in Utah, but raised in Southern Nevada, Robert graduated from Rancho High School in Las Vegas. As an expert automotive machinist, he discovered his analytical mind served him well in recognizing and solving problems. His knack for exhaustively scrutinizing issues led to his career in law.

Robert received his undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After receiving a Paralegal Certificate from the University of San Diego, Robert first worked for the firm as a catastrophic injury paralegal. He went on to study law at Whittier Law School in Southern California while continuing to work for the firm during summer and holiday breaks.
