Robert Bozelli
Philosophy of life, personally and professionally
Servant-leadership…. , that quality of character and reputation modeled by Washington, Lincoln, King, and Thatcher. That person who leads by serving others and draws forth the best in other men and women seeking to live a meaningful life.
Such were the common characteristics of the men and women Robert was blessed to know in his family growing up, including a dear brother who devoted his life to the profession of arms as a Marine. It was Robert’s great benefit to have followed that same course for the first half of his life.
After a lifetime’s formal education, and irreplaceable professional and personal experience joined to a servant-leader heart, Robert is now focused on serving clients through the many varied opportunities he has as a litigator.
Areas of Practice
General civil litigation, including commercial, employment, construction, real estate, business, deceptive trade practices, defamation, family, and other matters in which Robert represents plaintiffs and defendants.
During his years as an attorney, Robert has contributed an average of over fifty hours per year towards pro bono work. Some of this has been in association with Alliance Defending Freedom [formerly, the Alliance Defense Fund]; some as representative payee and attorney for a person requiring disability assistance; and work for many other persons simply unable to afford an attorney.
