I have had numerous and on-going business dealings with Mr. Remington for well over a decade. He is the consummate professional; well prepared, timely and effective. What makes him an outstanding attorney in my view is his common sense bottom-line approach to legal matters.

Westlake , OH

Rob Remington is an outstanding litigator and a tremendous resource for practical business and technical matters. Rob has saved my company countless hours of work and significant monetary savings by applying his practical, yet technical expertise to our issues as they arise. I have not found an issue yet that Rob cannot either work with me on directly or find the right resource for me.
