Consulting Approach

Rob’s clients benefit not only from his legal skills and professional development training but from his long-standing commitment to counseling. As part of Spivey Consulting Pre-L program, he works with recently admitted law students to sharpen skills that are vital to success as a first-year and beyond: critical reading, digesting cases, briefing, writing, outlining, and career planning. 

He caught the counseling bug as a tutor/mentor in college and continued to develop mentoring relationships in practice while working with paralegals, interns, and law students.

More About Rob

Rob came to the legal profession by way of the Bronx. Born and raised there, he was the first in family to attend college (his father was a garbage man and his mother was a manicurist). Rob worked odd jobs through high school and college — including busboy, construction laborer, mail boy, short-order cook, travel writer, and file clerk. These days he spends the bulk of his time — and calories — chasing after his three kids in the parks, playgrounds, and museums of DC alongside his wife, who works at the intersection of civil rights, AI, and machine learning for a tech company.
