44people have recommended Robert

"As a student of Robert's, I believe that he is a Professor that is truly passionate about his line of

work and in turn, inserts this passion in his teaching. He is the most responsive and caring

Professor I have had in Law School. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone

that is diligent, open-minded, and eager to help others."

Pooja Jaitly, Student, Pace University School of Law, reported to Robert at Pace University

Law School

"Professor Altchiler was a dedicated and knowledgeable instructor of trial advocacy who knew just

how to challenge his students to make them achieve their full potential."

Jacob McChesney, was Robert's client

"Prof. Altchiler's Trial Advocacy class was the best class I took in law school. It was in no small part

due to the fact that his enthusiasm and passion for litigation pervaded the classroom. The class

was incredibly challenging, I worked and studied more for his class then I had for any other, but

what I learned about trial advocacy and litigation from him were well worth the effort. The skills and

lessons I learned from Prof. Altchiler have followed me and helped me and I would certainly

recommend him as a professor to anyone."

Amanda Amato, was Robert's client

"I am writing to give my highest recommendation to Robert Altchiler. Professor Altchiler was my

Trial Advocacy professor at Pace Law School during the Fall of 2010. He stands out in my mind as

a Professor who really cares about his students, has vast knowledge about trial advocacy skills and

respects and understands each students strengths and weaknesses in this difficult subject area.Professor Altchiler employs some unorthodox methods in his classroom instruction, but I strongly

feel that these techniques were what made the underlying lessons really sink in. His willingness to

tailor exercises to each students ability was very encouraging and made the classroom much less

intimidating. In summary, Altchilers enthusiasm, flexibility, knowledge, creativity, organization and

overall good spirit make him an excellent professor and a wonderful role model."

Diomarys Escano, was Robert's client

professor and not merely because of his knowledge in Trial Advocacy. He has a great ability to

work with students and others and is very effective at teaching and building skills. I learned more

about the art of being a lawyer in one semester with Professor Altchiler than I did throughout my

whole law school experience. If you have the opportunity to work with Robert Altchiler I'm confident

you will find that he is knowledgeable, personable, creative, and an expert at what he does."

Emanuele Pepe, was Robert's client

have learned so much from such an accomplished attorney."

proved to be a tremendous professor. Highly recommended."

yet calm and analytical. Robert is a fantasic attorney who is well read in the fields in which he

any other class than the one I took with Robert in seven semesters of law school. He genuinelycares about the people he works with, wants them to learn, to be confident and to keep in touch

with him. Robert is always there with a helping hand or ear if you need him even after you are no

longer working with him. I have encouraged others to take his class and work with him if possible

since I trust his judgment, skill and recommendations."

working on a complex and high profile copyright dispute. His skills as an advocate are excellent and

outstanding asset to anyone seeking to improve their public speaking skills."

and then taught me how to be better. He is a great attorney, teacher, and a lifelong friend."

Vincent Sayegh, Student, Pace University School of Law, reported to Robert at Pace University

Law School

"In my law school experience my best class was hands down Trial Advocacy with Professor Robert

Altchiler. Professor Altchiler is that one special professor that beyond law school has become a

continued mentor, a colleague and a friend. To date we remain in contact and I have called upon

him for advice and counsel well into my career as an attorney. While in law school all other law

classes required we study the assigned material. Professor Altchiler brought that material and law

to life through our trial experiences, testing in practice the use of evidence, cross examination

techniques, trial strategy, and above all the nuances and psychology of a trial. He taught us how to

apply and understand a detailed analysis of the case evidence, witnesses, testimonies, tendencies

of judges and the thought process of the jury. Professor Altchiler prepared me for the very real

experiences I have since had arguing in New York Supreme Court, a most intimidating environment

for a young attorney where I am positive I would not have performed as well had I not studied Trail

Advocacy with him. He remains a close friend and colleague and I simply cannot recommend

strongly enough that if given the chance, any law student should be sure to take a class with

Professor Altchiler. Allan J. Ahearne, Jr."

Allan J. Ahearne, Jr., Attorney, American Express, reported to Robert at Pace University LawSchool

"As a trial ad professor, Robert Altchiler brought a passionate, practically-minded approach to the

challenges of teaching a craft. His approach to teaching reflects his personality--always willing to

put himself on the line and approach problems through widely different perspectives using the right

amount of force and humor. My experiences with him as a professor have been very engaging and

worthwhile--best of law school. I would highly reccommend him in this capacity to anyone and I am

sure this reflects similarly in his law practice."

Mike Caruso, was Robert's client

"As my Trial Ad Professor in Law School, Bob Altchiler taught me the art of litigating. He is truly a

master of his craft and has a gifted ability to extract the most from his students. Bob is not only a

mentor, a friend, but also an attorney worth emulating. In addition, I have and will continue to refer

all criminal cases to Bob."

Gino Marmorato, was Robert's client

School of Law in the Spring of 2006 and I can attest to his effectiveness as both a teacher and a

mentor. He has the uncommon ability to capture the attention and interest of anyone he talks to and

he maintains a genuine concern for each of his students, even years after taking his class."

approach to student preparedness with a selfless devotion to seeing prepared students succeed.

Bob shared with us practical techniques from his own experience that transcend mock trials and

translate into state and federal courtrooms. As a student fortunate to have had the opportunity tolearn from him, I respect Bob as a Trial Advocacy Professor very much and would happily

supplement this recommendation upon request. [email protected]"

Bruce J. H. Drummond, Barrister, CMLG, was with another company when working with Robertat Law Office of Robert Y. Altchiler

"Robert is an excellent listener. Something that is rare today. After listening to the problem I was

having with my business partner, Robert was able to make 3 phone calls to the Chase Manhattan

fraud division, determine that my partner at the time was lying to them, Trying to destroy my

reputation within the banking community, and Chase was asking for no evidence to any of this.

Once Robert gave Chase an education on the rules of Fraud law, they backed off of all my

accounts, asked my ex partner for the evidence of the alleged fraud, which he was not able toproduce and at that point, they reduced it to a civil matter between two business partners. No

evidence of wrong doing was ever produced. Robert is fast, efficient, effective, has an incredible

attention to detail. He works the problem, he doesn't let the problem work him. Anyone who has the

good fortune of hiring Robert as a defense lawyer should take it. There is no better out there. Rob
