I met Robert in early February 2024, when I hired him to represent me while I faced misdemeanor charges in a Michigan case. I found his contact information via internet search. He promptly replied to my email inquiry to say that he would be happy to represent me. His fee was modest and included all services prior to trial. The case involved several pretrial hearings over four months. He completely and competently answered all of my questions. He listened actively to my account of the inciting incident. His understanding and trust in me was apparent throughout my work with him.

He advocated on my behalf in conversations with the prosecuting attorney. Robert believed that the charge should be reduced from a criminal misdemeanor to a civil infraction (like a speeding ticket). Despite my worries and fears that the charge would not be reduced, Robert reassured me that it likely would, and, in the end, the charge indeed was reduced to a civil infraction. I am exceptionally pleased with this outcome.

We resolved the case without a trial. I will pay a $130 fine and lose two points on my driving record, but this is a negligible concern in light of the charge that I faced initially.

I have very limited experience in working with other attorneys, so I can't really compare him to others. However, I can say that Robert was professional, competent, and kind. His work met and exceeded my expectations. His regular reassurances to me provided great comfort in what could have been a nerve-wracking four-month experience.

I highly recommend him.

An unfortunate family dispute and mistake led to charges that were potentially negatively life changing and disastrous for my career.

I was lucky that Mr. Elmen was recommended to take my case, of which he immediately counseled me though the low periods and guided me through the legal process step by step.

Mr. Elmen was thorough, utilizing all possible resources and avenues to help find the best resolution for my case.
Mr. Elmen explained each step and was always available to be a compassionate person to just listen to me through my ordeal.
In the end, the hard work by Mr. Elmen led to the best possible outcome- a DISMISSAL! - and I am now able to return to my life and career.

I am forever thankful for the help Mr Elmen gave me and I highly recommend his services to anyone who is in need of legal help.

I called from 2 hours away and he took the time to talk to me. No other attorney would do this. His patience and attention to detail were limitless. The heart and depth he put into that simple 5 minute discussion moved mountains for me. Thank you.

Robert was such a help throughout the process. He touched base regularly, always checked for my understanding and was forthright about the potential outcomes from the beginning. I cannot recommend his services enough!

I was fighting a case that would have given me a life sentence, and this man saw I wasn't guilty even though I was arrested for it anyhow. Needless to say, I never saw a day in court. Thank you Mr. Elmen, you're a Godsend to the Thorn Family.

I turned to Robert with an last minute matter and he resolved within 72 hours. He jumped in like a family member (a calm, smart lawyer family member). From start to finish I felt as though I was his top priority. He is flexible with pricing and above sincere and trustworthy. I am so glad I called Robert for emergency help and that he was always available and didn’t miss a beat when it came to getting the matter completely thrown out. He sometimes calls to check in and say hi. We have spent many hours off the clock talking about other important life stuff.

Mr. Elmen has guided me through a difficult legal dilemma, a legal success is imminent.

First, Before I reached out to Attorney Elmen by phone from California to address 10 17 year old forgery charges, I had searched google and attempted to reach out to 3 other attorneys in the area, all who told me that they either had no interest in taking my case, were too busy, or just seemed like they didn’t care. Attorney Elmen was different. He listened to my story, he understood that people make mistakes, especially when they’re young. He was straight up with me from the start about the possible negative outcomes of the case but also gave me hope that we had a fighting chance of getting all 10 of my charges dismissed. Attorney Elmen went to work in and out of the courtroom on my behalf. Meeting with the prosecutor on numerous occasions to discuss my circumstances, answering my phone calls and/or expediently returning my calls to give updates. Ultimately, the charges were ALL DISMISSED. All 10!

Although, Attorney Elmen required a deposit, he worked with me for payments and I felt that he trusted me truly. Hopefully I never have to get an attorney again, but if I do, it will be Attorney Robert Elmen.

Robert Elmen was there for my family when we needed help. Whenever we had questions regarding my son’s legal case, he made himself immediately available to us, guiding us through every step. Knowledgeable, tireless, compassionate — those are the words I’d use to describe Robert Elmen. We were lucky to have him in our corner.

This was my first time ever being involved in any type of court case. Throughout the process Mr. Elmen kept me aware of every possibility in my case. One thing that struck me a certain way was the way he also showed he actually cared about what was going on in my case. There are lots of attorneys that are just in it for the money but Mr. Elmen showed that this was not the case with him. He was genuine, was always an ear to listen to me whenever i would have any concerns and most of all he is dedicated to his work and your case. I could have definitely done some time in the county jail. However, with his hard work and dedication I am still able to be at home with my family while on probation. And for that Mr. Robert Elmen, I can never repay you. Thank you for all you have done. My family and I are forever grateful. I do not just consider you my attorney, I will forever think of you as a friend.

Robert was very nice and helpful through the whole process. I was looking at jail time, but got off with just a small fine. Totally worth it!

Robert represented me in a case where I was accused of an (Assault and Battery) in Ottawa county Michigan. The prosecution was very forceful and intimidating and even threatening to increase my charges. We took it to jury trial and won. My life was allowed to move forward and I am sure without Robert's help I would have been wrongfully convicted and suffered huge life altering consequences. The whole legal process I was forced to go through was highly uncomfortable and very upsetting, Robert helped me get through this and keep peace of mind. Some attorneys are in it for the money and the title Mr. Elmen cares about the people he represents, I will never forget what he did for me!

– N.S.

Rob is detail oriented, knowledgeable, and committed to the case. My experience was first rate. If you're looking for an attorney who is both hard-working and capable, choose Rob.

– P.A.

Mr. Elmen is a fighter! He will handle your case with zeal, confidence, and a thorough understanding of the court system. Mr. Elmen doesn't take no for an answer but pursues his clients' objectives with tenacity!
