Only had a brief conversation but he's clearly very good at what he does. Very professional. Very straight forward. Trust me you want this guy on YOUR side. Honestly, as long as you dont go asking attorneys for free services or trying to sue everyone who angers you, he's great to work with. Others complaining are either asking him to work for free or trying to sue someone for something stupid. Hes honest, not mean. Some people just dont like being told no. Either way. Great guy. Thanks.read more

I have never written an on-line review before.

I have experienced Mr. Rowley as prompt, wise, honest and affordable. If anyone could put the "Fish" logo on their practice, it would be this gentleman. Would highly recommend him for his Honesty, Integrity and Insights that both informed and protected us.read more

I have known Rob Rowley for a few years now and I have always had a pleasant experience. I am a member of LLA here is Spokane and I have heard Robs speak to Landlords and Property Managers about becoming a better PM or LL. Recently I have used Rob for his services with an eviction (of course eviction is the worst part of this industry, but sometimes it cannot be avoided) and it was quick and simple. I also have reached out to Rob for help/support/guidance on a number of occasions and he has always been very knowledgeable and happy to assist. I would highly recommend Rob for his services and expertise in the LL PM Tenant laws here in Spokane. Jenread more

Called and left a message. No reply. Called again and spoke with him. Basically refused to consider any of my questions without being paid and when I tried to outline the nature of my basic question, he interrupted before I could finish and said I don't do that kind of work. Edit: regarding Robert Rowley's response. If he had spent as much time listening to me on the phone as he did composing his response to this review, then I wouldn't have written it. For context, I called another real estate lawyer (not a family lawyer) immediately after speaking with Robert Rowley and this gentleman spent 15 minutes on the phone with me listening to my situation and offering insights. I will be working with this other lawyer.read more
