Highly Recommended

If you’re considering hiring a domestic worker or nanny, I highly recommend speaking with Robert beforehand. Even in situations where the relationship feels “friendly,” disputes can escalate quickly and unexpectedly. We experienced this firsthand when a minor disagreement with our long-term nanny rapidly turned into a complicated legal issue. It was shocking and stressful, especially given the friendly nature of our relationship. In my search for legal help, several trusted contacts recommended Robert. After speaking with three law firms, it became clear that Robert stood out. During our first conversation, I was impressed by his straightforward, no-nonsense approach and his deep understanding of domestic worker laws in California. He immediately identified weaknesses in the other party’s claims and set realistic expectations regarding costs, timelines, and possible outcomes. Working with Robert was the best decision I made in this situation. He resolved the dispute swiftly and cost-effectively, leveraging his nuanced understanding of the law to our advantage. His strategic planning and ability to outmaneuver the opposing party saved me from significant expenses and further complications. If you’re navigating or hoping to avoid potential legal issues with a domestic worker or nanny, Robert is the person to call. His expertise, professionalism, and results speak for themselves.

Excellence

I met Rob around 3 years ago and at that time his knowledge of HR was important to me because of being a small business and not able to hire a full time HR staff member. I could see while working with Rob he not only had the expertise, but he was very easy to work with. His presentation was very relaxed, something I appreciated. He helped groom my office so I was aware of issues that were not in compliance. When I had a disgruntled employee try to sue me, Rob was there all of the way to get me through one of the hardest journeys in my business career. I highly recommend Rob Nuddleman.

Fixed My Issue With a Single Letter!

I was being threatened by a former associate with a lawsuit and really didn’t know what to do. The dollars in dispute were substantial.Mr. Nuddleman took the time to review the related correspondence between myself and the other guy and quickly came up with a number of ideas as to how to resolve the problem. He was actually able to find a place where the threatening party had actually broken the law in one of his emails to me (I wouldn’t have seen it). We decided Robert would write a letter pointing this out among other relevant points. As result of the letter Robert wrote, I’ve never heard from the other party again. The token number of hours Robert billed me for the work was just as surprising as how quickly he resolved the matter. I’ve recommended Mr. Nuddleman to 2 or 3 people since then and have yet to hear a complaint.

Fantastic Attorney

Mr. Nuddleman is my go-to expert for employment-related issues. I trust him implicitly and appreciate his candor and straightforwardness. I find Mr. Nuddleman has a quality unlike other attorneys in that he is willing to walk you through the issue at hand and work with you to find a solution that fits your needs, since most of us know there is more than one way to peel an orange.

Contact Robert ONLY If You Want a Great Lawyer

A long, long time ago (2006 time frame) Robert was the second lawyer I consulted with on an issue with possible conflict of interest. He listened intently to my story, restated it to me in his own words making me sure that he understood the issue then made suggestions on how to handle the issue. Since then, he has been our corporate lawyer and every legal agreement we enter in to gets reviewed by him first. He is very quick and thus is economical. So again, only contact him if you want a great lawyer.
