Robert A. Von Esch IV

I come from a long line of attorneys.  In total, there are eight attorneys in my family.  My wife, Amy, is a practicing attorney as well.  Amy and I have a daughter and reside in Orange County.   
 

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, golfing, surfing, fishing, and skiing with his friends and family.  Unfortunately, there is never enough free time. 
 

I have tried numerous cases in most jurisdictions throughout Southern California.  I have obtained several multi-million dollar recoveries for my clients and argued successfully before the California Court of Appeals.

I am a trial attorney at heart.  However, I recognize that Court is not always the best place for my clients.  My firm but, fair approach to litigation often opens the door for favorable settlement negotiations.
 

I firmly believe in promptly returning phone calls and making myself available to clients whenever they need me.  Part of my job is to put you at ease and prompt communication goes a long way towards accomplishing this goal.  Thorough preparation and aggressive representation do the rest.
