Alan I. Robbins

I have used Mr. Robbins for over 26 years for legal matters at numerous utilities. I have always received excellent service and good results. He is a true professional committed to his clients. He drives the process to get timely results and he is always under budget. He works to resolve the problem as quick as possible. He is a valuable member of my team.

Alan has represented the City on numerous issues that have resulted in complaints filed at the FERC. He has also assisted the City in negotiations for power supply contracts. Alan is extremely knowledgeable in issues facing the ever-changing electric utility industry. He can communicate complex issues to clients and efficiently handles his and his clients' time.

"Al Robbins has a strong grasp of not only the law, but also the effect that laws, regulations, and rulings have on the clients he serves. In my experience, attorneys often forget who they serve; this has never been the case with Al Robbins. Without the tireless efforts of Mr. Robbins, the organization I serve would not have succeeded."

Al is a remarkably experienced and insightful utilities attorney and an extremely important resource for and representative of municipal utilities in Kansas. Bringing to the table an impressive combination of technical and legal expertise, his broad depth of knowledge and strategic prowess make him an important component of our team. Despite his superior qualifications and work product, Al remains a cost-effective solution for our membership through his efficiency, dedication to customer needs, and constant focus on maintaining a narrow scope of work.

After 27 years of involvement in electric power contracts and electric issues at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, I would rate Alan Robbins as most effective of any of the attorneys I have dealt with in that area. His development of arguments and filings is focused and persuasive, yielding good results without excessive charges. His negotiating style nicely uses a 'proportional response' to counterparty positions and behavior that works well in achieving good results and reasonable compromises. All in all, I rate Mr. Robbins as a very effective counsel.

Mr. Robbins is a wonderful asset to our community. He has successfully helped the City on numerous issues including water, electric, and the recent successful effort on the Meldahl Hydroelectric License. The City highly recommends him for all of your utility work. Alan has worked for us for the last 25-plus years and has been an invaluable part of the team that has made Hamilton's Public Utilities the lowest-cost utilities in the region.

Richard Lieberman

Rick Lieberman was instrumental in helping us sell our technology company with a win-win outcome for all parties. The transaction was a model success story. We were under extraordinary time constraints during the acquisition, and Rick was calm, intelligent, and focused throughout the process. Rick is able to explain the long-term consequences of strategic options, so that we were able to make good decisions quickly.

Rick Lieberman is the consummate transaction attorney. He is smart, thorough, and experienced. He protected the client's interests every step of the way in a complicated acquisition by a major financial services company. At the same time, he showed flexibility and resourcefulness in finding ways around potential "deal-killing" issues. Besides being a great communicator, Rick was always a voice of reason throughout the transaction - with a nice dose of humor when everyone needed to keep things in perspective. I look forward to working with Rick again in the future!
