Bob is a trained neutral and is available to help other lawyers and parties resolve their disputes outside of court.
Bob served as an adjunct professor of law at Seton Hall University School of Law for fifteen years. He has spoken at continuing legal education seminars on issues related to franchise law, construction law, and civil procedure.
