Robert G. Baynes

Bob Baynes has represented our firm in all areas of corporate law for over 25 years. He has been invaluable in acquisitions and in one divestiture we have made. He is very responsive. He gets back to you almost immediately. He has a wonderful command of the language and can make legal documents clear and understandable. He has served as President of The North Carolina State Bar. I would gladly recommend him to anyone.

I have worked with Mr. Robert Baynes for a number of years. It has been a pleasure to work with him. He is as ethical as anyone I have ever known. He is very responsive, always getting back to you very quickly and turning work around in the same way. He is very smart and his writing is very clear and concise. It would be a pleasure for me to recommend him to anyone.
