"We worked with Robert Bialkin to purchase our home in Napa in June 2025, and he was amazing in every way. Having Robert as both a real estate broker and an attorney was an incredible advantage and gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. Robert is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and meticulous. He guided us through every step of the transaction with clarity, patience, and professionalism, taking the time to explain details and anticipate issues before they ever became problems. His legal expertise was invaluable when reviewing contracts and disclosures, and his strategic insight helped ensure a smooth, successful closing. What truly sets Robert apart is his integrity and commitment to his clients. He is calm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in doing what is right—not just getting the deal done. We always felt supported, informed, and protected. If you are buying or selling real estate in Napa and want someone you can trust completely, Robert Bialkin is the person you want on your side. We would work with him again without hesitation and recommend him wholeheartedly." Feb '26

"If you’re wondering if it’s really worth it to get a real estate lawyer, the answer is YES and if you’re on the fence about who to hire, choose Robert. Robert helped me immensely, he saved me money, gave me excellent advice and recommendations. He was so patient with the stressful dynamics between multiple sellers and one buyer, it was not that simple of a transaction, but he made it easy for me to navigate everything. Now I live on my dream property and Robert helped me make that possible!" Nov '25

"From the moment I called to inquire about getting help with a private home sale, Robert always took his time and was willing to patiently answer all my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. He also exerted absolutely no pressure, and was willing to take the time going over everything with me, even though I told him I was unsure I would actually go through with the sale! When I ultimately hired him I got exactly who he said he was... someone who be there for me and help me navigate the private sale and address any issues or questions along the way, which he did in spades. I highly recommend him for any real estate service." Sept '25

"We highly recommend working with Robert Bialkin. We just moved from 2 hours south of Sonoma County and made a smooth transition to the area thanks to Robert. Throughout the process of our year-long search and eventual move, we relied heavily on Robert. Here are some of the many ways he stood out as an exceptional partner:  Easy to reach - 98% of the time he picked-up when we called and the other 2% he or Sierra (wife and realtor) called us right back. Available - Robert was either able to meet us in person or have an excellent proxy (Sierra or another qualified realtor friend) show us houses whenever we could come to the area. Knowledgable - Robert grew up in the area and knows the subtle changes in microclimates, cultures, and general vibes from house to house. We had a long and difficult-to-find wish-list, which involved figuring out well, septic, and general country living challenges. Robert was very familiar with all of the above since he and Sierra own a city and country home in the area and have a great deal of knowledge as people who enjoy outdoor gardening life. Our search spanned south to north from Petaluma to Santa Rosa and east to west from Glen Ellen to Occidental, with the goal area set as Sebastopol. He was patient, willing to drive far, and was familiar with all of the areas. Although we were not hiring him for his legal services, he brought that knowledge unofficially to the table as we considered our options.  Welcoming - Robert gave us a tour of the area, recommended restaurants, and suggested events to attend so we could get to know the diversity of Sonoma County. He was clear that his family wasn't going anywhere and would be helpful neighbours even after the move.  Ongoing help and connections - We were not able to move in right away and called Robert for help when a leak was happening. He didn't hesitate to come over to the property and check things out. As an avid gardener, he helped us identify the trees and plants on the property so that we could start to care for them. He also helped us find a general contractor, pool service company, and other professionals as we worked on the repairs and maintenance we knew were coming with the property we chose. It's comforting to know that Robert is in the area and a trusted professional to turn to going forward. We love our new homeland couldn't recommend Robert more." Aug '25

"We wanted to sell our home and had already found a buyer. We did not want to go through real estate company and pay a real estate commission when we already had a buyer. Robert Bialkin was able to do all the paperwork and get the property through escrow quickly. He was easy to work with, communicated to us each step of the way, and completed the sale quickly at a fraction of what we would have had to pay in real estate commissions if we had gone through a real estate company. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him for completing a sale without going through a real estate company." July '25

"We offer him many thanks, for a job well done." July '25

Robert took the time to explain the entire process clearly, making sure I knew what to expect every step of the way. Robert was an integral part of me becoming a first time home buyer. He will support you up to and after your transaction. I highly recommend him!" Nov '24

"I cannot recommend Robert Bialkin enough! I first contacted him as attorney help with a real-estate contract and was very happy I did. What sounded like a great deal was not. He was able to point out where I was taking much more risk than I wanted. I proceeded to hire him to sell my rental property and he did a wonderful job. He was very professional in doing his job.  He was supportive throughout the process and helped with numerous details. I got well over the asking price and he was very through when closing the sell." Oct '24

"If you want someone who is hard-working, capable, well informed and kind, then Robert is your man. We worked together by email and in person for a year until I found my new place - and I love it. The bidding on my place was competitive and Robert strategized with me and I won the bid without paying too much and I feel great about it. All details were swiftly attended to and as he is also a lawyer he knew what to do and what to pay attention to.He is punctual and considerate and accommodating. In a way I am sorry we have closed the sale (which only took 6 days! I have the keys!) because we had to say good bye. Highly recommended man." Oct '24

Always checking in to make sure everything was lined up to execute on time and accurately. We were even able to close early in my case, which was great for both me and the seller. Would recommend to anyone looking to sell off market (in my case) and would definitely work with him again. Thank you, Robert!" Oct '23

"He doesn’t practice the kind of law i was looking for…but he was incredibly kind…referred me to a lawyer that did practice the kind of law i needed.

I highly recommend Robert Bialkin for any legal real estate issues." Aug '23

"I am so glad I retained Robert to help guide me through some challenges that arose while purchasing a new home. To me, it was important to have a second opinion from someone with a legal background. For a few weeks I was contacting Robert almost daily, and consistently heard back from him, on each inquiry, within 24 hours. Price was very fair, and I liked the fixed fee structure so there was certainty I wouldn't get charged to oblivion for billable hours. Also he referred me to a fantastic insurance agent."  7/18/23

"Robert and his team were the best we could have come across! New to the area, I was fortunate that Robert was the one to show us the home we loved! Upon meeting him he was always honest, knowledgeable, and it was beyond helpful that he is so familiar with the area because he grew up here so that is always a plus...sometimes it's who you know. Coming from a small town he immediately gave us that feel. I would say he and his team member Daniel are very personable and we wouldn't hope for anything else. Buying our home was such a smooth process and we are in love! Been here 3 months now." 11/15/22

"After working with Robert for two years and finally finding a lovely house near the Russian River, I honestly could not say enough about his knowledge, experience, level of professionalism, communication, and kindness. More specifically, he has lived in Sonoma County most of his life so is familiar with the landscape, pricing and conditions in various neighborhoods and towns. Additionally, he has the background and training as an attorney so that expertise was also of value during the purchase of our house. Having 40 years of experience working with various real estate agents, my husband and I both witnessed and benefited from Robert's expertise in all aspects of his work. How fortunate we have been to have him represent our best interests in this competitive market." 5/23/22

"I retained Robert to help me get through the paperwork and close my For Sale By Owner sale of my home. He provided the legal counsel and advice to steer me through the confusing terrain of paperwork required to sell a house in California.

I am very pleased with his services, his demeanor, and everything in between. He made sure to cover all bases and include debts in the bankruptcy that I had not anticipated adding, just to cover myself for those "in case" moments in life. Thank you so much! I highly recommend!" 2/10/25

"I have been an attorney for over 35 years but don't specialize in real estate law. I needed a specialist for a private RE sale. I found Robert incredibly knowledgeable and extremely responsive. Although the deal fell apart because of the buyers, Robert and his staff went above and beyond the call of duty, providing the required docs for my signature (via Docusign) and answering questions of the very inexperienced attorney on the buyers' side. He was creative and patient and I highly recommend his services." 2/1/22

"We highly recommend Robert.  He is very skilled, professional, and easy to deal with.  He took care of us from contract writing and reviewing legal documentation to answering our many questions on all various procedures needed to acquire the property.

The Bialkin team was professional, patient and communicative even with the added complication of covid protocols. We could not be happier with our new home or the process to get into it." 10/10/21

"As first time home buyers we are grateful to have found Robert. He clearly explained each step of the home buying process, he was beyond helpful in placing offers, and he is extremely skilled at calming me (Bill) down when issues arose (and I'm easily agitated!).

"Robert is responsive during business hours and any questions we sent in the evenings were answered first thing the next morning. We discovered the home buying experience, overall, to be a stressful situation, however, Robert was instrumental in helping us keep our eye on the target and pushing for that accepted offer. Thank You, Robert!"" 10/10/21

This was the most confident we have ever felt working with an agent and would highly recommend him. His knowledge and expertise were truly appreciated! Thanks Robert we look forward to working with you in the future." 10/10/21

"I found myself as a buyer in a FSBO transaction but was completely blind to what the process would entail. I both googled who the best real estate lawyer would be for the transaction, as well as asked around for word of mouth recommendations, and both resulted in Robert Bialkin as being The Guy for the job. Robert was super responsive to emails, texts and phone calls. He explained the process before I even retained him, and clarified each step along the way. He was not only thorough and prompt, but also well organized, and connected (which made things like selecting inspection, title company, etc easier). Whenever I was unsure about something (contingency, how to negotiate based on findings from inspection), Robert explained which course of action would be most beneficial to my best interest. For future, I think I would conduct all FSBO transactions with a real estate attorney in lieu of agents, and I would definitely go to Robert as my first choice in getting the job done. I’ve already referred him to friends who are looking to close on a similar transaction.

This was my first experience buying a home, so I had a lot of question and Robert was always knowledgeable and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions.

He patiently assisted us for over a year, throughout the pandemic and resulting real estate frenzy, encouraging us to take our time, see as many properties as need be, and wait for just the right one.

He was able to get us a great deal, exactly the home we wanted, and made us feel like we had a great asset on our side.

"Robert recently helped my husband and me purchase a very distressed and complicated property in Sonoma county. He was so amazing I don't even know where to start. When we found the property, we had a different realtor who took one look at the listing and told us we needed a real estate attorney. I called Robert, not realizing he was also a broker. Instead of charging us a bunch of money to act as our attorney, he offered to be our agent, which didn't cost us a cent. Our original agent was happy to get rid of us! She said she didn't have a clue how to help us with a property like that. But Robert knew exactly what to do. I should also mention that considering the price of the property and the many hours of work, most realtors would have sent us packing. We were in escrow for 4 months and many issues came up during that time. Robert resolved them all quickly and efficiently and always in a very professional manner. I don't know if we would have made it to the end with any other realtor. It was really painless! If you need a realtor in the Sonoma county area, you can count on Robert to get it done. He's the best!" 1/9/20

If you need great customer service, no pressure and a closer, go with Bialkin!" 11/2/19

I got off work and being that it was after 6pm, I figured I would get a voicemail to most bankruptcy lawyer options. He answered his phone around 6:45pm and and gave me a free consultation. He pointed me in the right direction for my specific case. It brought a little   light of Hope in my hour of need, even if he doesn't get my specific business, he took his time and cared.

"Robert is amazing at what he does and I would absolutely recommend him.  He is clear, efficient, knowledgeable about the market, and a true advocate for his clients.  I was selling my home to move abroad, which added a little bit of a challenge with regard to the timing of the sale and the closing process.  Robert handled everything perfectly.  I had spoken to several Realtors before speaking to Robert but it was clear from my first conversation with him that he was the man for the job.  He was obviously very smart and experienced and most importantly, listened to my specific needs and had a plan of action from the first time we spoke.  Robert guided me to price strategically and did a great job on the open house.  I was happy to receive multiple offers, accepting one that was over asking within the time period I needed to have all the paperwork completed before my big move.  Every step of the way, Robert explained everything clearly, told me what to expect and offered guidance when needed.  I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.  Having someone that I could trust so completely allowed me to focus my energies on other matters and took 99% of the stress out of the process.  I definitely feel that I made the right choice by choosing to work with Robert and couldn't be happier with either the process or the outcome of the sale!" 6/14/2019

"I reached out to Robert in April 2018 because I was looking for a vacation home. He showed me several homes in Healdsburg and Windsor. Several months later, I reached out again and he spent several days showing my husband and I multiple houses. We did not know the neighboring towns very well and his deep knowledge of Sonoma County was incredibly helpful. He showed us homes in Guerneville, Forestville, Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Windsor and Sebastopol. He educated us on the differences in each town, the communities and the types of houses we would find in each. We also wanted a home we could airbnb and he was very useful in helping us understand the limitations with that. We eventually bought our vacation home in Feb 2019. Robert was great to work with throughout the process. He understood our needs and priorities and represented us well.

"Great guy! I called after business hours and he answered right away, gave me a referral to another lawyer in the office who specialized in what I needed help with. Very nice, kind and polite! Goes a long way!" 5/26/19

"Robert helped me with a question regarding a business dispute after close of escrow. He was very easy to talk to, helpful and honest, and this made me feel extremely comfortable. He gave me a referral to someone that could advise me further. I regret not finding him sooner. I really would have liked to have him as my broker. I highly recommend him." 2/22/19

"I was undercharged for an hour session I committed to with 15 minutes of time charged(that was simply the time required to answer my questions). The advice delivered helped me negotiate my concerns regarding a mobile home paperwork transfer." 2/13/19

"Robert Bialkin is the best real estate person we could have possibly found to not only buy our current home but sale our home as well. He is professional and personable, honest and determined, humble and confident, and a dedicated family man. He brings his family values into his business dealings and administers trust through out the entire process." 12/12/19

"Excellent communication and resourcefulness throughout our contract. Wouldn't hesitate to use Robert and Daniel's assistance again." 2/5/19

"Robert reviewed a real estate contract for us on a VERY tight timeline (4 hours!) to ensure we were adequately protected before submission. We were very pleased with his recommendations and he was able to answer all our questions and tell us what risks we were exposing ourselves to. He has a very friendly and open communication manner that we appreciated. We are also not the wealthiest people and appreciated that his rate was reasonable!" 2/11/19

"I have sold a lot of property with other brokers and can honestly say that Robert was a go getter from the start and worked expeditiously and in earnest to secure our online listings and to attract lots of open house activity. One of the best and fastest real estate experiences that I've ever had .... and having sold more than 10 houses over the last 20 years it's been a lot. If you want knowledgeable professional honest and expeditious real estate sales assistance look no further than Bialkin Realty." 1/25/19"

I took quite a long time settling on a realtor. After much deliberation I chose Robert, partly because of his legal knowledge, but mostly because I was impressed by his manner. Unlike other realtors I had dealt with, Robert never pressured me to sign with him by repeated follow-up calls and emails. Instead, Robert allowed me all the time I needed to feel comfortable with my decision, patiently answering my many questions.  After signing with him I knew I'd made the right decision. His calm, even-keeled, positive approach, helped to keep my anxiety level down during the many issues that can come up during the sale of a property. He was very responsive to my calls, and both he and his assistant Daniel worked diligently to make the sale happen. I would definitely hire Robert again should I have the need." 1/24/19

"We went to Robert seeking advice in financial areas, real estate questions and investment. He really listened to each question we had and gave us ideas on solutions we could work with. We were very impressed with his knowledge and willingness to offer an outside referral for another area we needed answers from. He showed us that there are answers to all problems when you actually seek them from someone who has the expertise and knowledge. Robert Bialkin is that someone! You cannot go wrong working with him, he cares..." 11/28/18

"Robert was very helpful in securing our home. He got our offer in before the open house with a 24 hour time limit. He talked the seller's agent out of making a counter offer until they actually had another offer in hand. Since they did not, they accepted our offer before the open house. If you think of this as a game of poker Robert played masterfully. Bialkin Realty was great throughout - very responsive and good support from the teammates in the office. If you are seeking for a local, experienced and thorough agent look no further. It is my sincere pleasure to share this review." 11/26/18

"While its a little early to take advantage of Robert's services, I am grateful for his time and service even though he didn't know me and I didn't pay him a dime."

"When I am ready, I expect to come to Robert for my Real Estate Law needs. Robert was a great realtor to work with. After contacting him, he set up a specialized home listing for us, that was emailed each day with new/current homes that fit our search criteria, which proved helpful. He made himself available to talk and show us homes as we searched, and steered us in the right direction for the successful purchase of our first home. Thank you for your help and guidance! 6/14/18

He always responds immediately to any texts or emails with incredible knowledge of not only the business end, but everything about the town of Sebastopol and surrounding communities.

"The best real estate broker in North California sector. Highly recommend. Thanks Robert your professionalism is amazing." 5/8/18

"If you are looking to buy or sell a home, look no further. Robert of Bialkin Realty was an amazing realtor. He skillfully guided us through a complicated and difficult home purchase. We never felt overwhelmed or under informed. His communication skills were top notch. His local knowledge was clearly the result of being a life long Sonoma county native. Robert was able to make us feel comfortable with the largest purchase/decision we have ever made. I can't think of a worse time in Sonoma county to be looking at buying a home (5,000+ homes burnt down in the last 7 months) but somehow we were still able to close this deal and buy a home. Robert made this happen for us. Thanks to all his hard work, a non-profit worker and a public school teacher are able to continue to raise a family in this beautiful county. If you choose to work with Bialkin realty in the future (you should!), please tell Robert, "the special ed teacher says thank you." and give him a big hug for us (you'll probably want to hug him too)." 5/4/18

"Robert was a guy who always pushed for us. I got mad and almost fired him once—but he had made changes so we would get the deal. In the end we lost that deal—because I wouldn’t do what he started to set up for us. Finally, we got the third deal but the lady of the house complained that the house she was moving into was destroyed in the Santa Rosa fire. We felt so bad—we thought we had to withdraw from the deal! Awful for her. But Robert just told us firmly that the deal was done and they had to stick by their promise! Wonderful! In the end she got a house just up the same road—not anywhere near the fire! I really hated Bank of America’s handling of the loan—but that was not Robert’s fault at all! Thanks Robert Bialkin! 11/27/17

"Robert Bialkin did a great job helping us purchase our first home. We weren't looking very actively, but i checked zillow from time to time to see what's new. One day i saw this beautiful condo that i fell in love with ! I tried to contact the agent through zillow just to find out if it's still on the market, Robert replied right away and was ready to show us the condo in 2 hours, how amazing is that. We had a walk-though at the end of the day together with my husband and was ready to make an offer, even though we weren't pre-approved by the bank. Robert helped us a lot advising us what to do to speed up the process and how to make a competitive offer. Following all his advice , we submitted the offer a day or two later and found out our offer was excepted a couple of days after that ! It was incredible, super easy and fast, we never expect it to be so painless to buy our first place in Sonoma County. Thank you Robert for an incredible work you've done for our family and best of luck in your carrier, your work is highly appreciated." 11/18/17

"Such great service! Mr. Bailkin took time out of his busy schedule to sit down with me and do an overview of real estate in the area, even though we are not planning on buying until several years.

When life throws a curve ball into all you've been striving for, he is there with his catcher's mitt on backing you up, and keeping the team's eye on the ball if a moment finds you not able to see straight. He's always ready & responsive, as though you were his only client. No matter what you decide to do during your process; if you want to zig instead of zag-he will be ready and in your corner.

"Robert was extremely kind, very patient and thoroughly knowledgable. He made the experience as straightforward and as painless as possible. He is just THE BEST!" 10/10/15

"Robert at Bialkin Realty is the best! He has helped us many times as our real estate agent. He landed and negotiated my commercial lease in Santa Rosa. I've never met someone who picks up their phone or answer his emails so quickly. Plus, he is the nicest guy. I've also never met a realtor who was also a lawyer AND a loan officer! He knows his stuff. He is definitely much more professional than another real estate agency we have worked with in the past. He is super smart and you will be glad he is on your team. We will be calling him when we are ready to buy our next property in Sonoma County. Highly, highly, recommended. Thanks again, Robert!" 8/25/15

"I found Robert the same way a lot of others did..online. After being impressed with his reviews I contacted him to help with my bankruptcy. I had several free consultations set up with other lawyers, trying to keep my options open. He called me back and said he really wanted me to get quality service at the best price so we negotiated a highly reasonable price and next thing you know i was sitting in front of him starting the bankruptcy process. He's a motivated man with a plan, a go-getter to say the least. As i sit here a few days after my bankruptcy court hearing, im at ease and its all due to how thorough and efficient he was with my paperwork. 60 seconds in front of a Trustee and its all over. With full entirety, i recommend Mr. Bialkin. Thank you Robert! (And if your not a big talker he texts, which was really nice) ***** Nicole approves 5 stars" 8/11/15

“Robert Bialkin stepped up and helped when my family was faced with a difficult and time-sensitive issue after our father’s passing. He was attentive and prompt, devoting his full attention to our complicated legal matters. The combination of his legal and real estate knowledge was also very helpful in our case. Robert was affordable, easy to work with and left us feeling taken care of during an otherwise unpleasant situation. I would definitely recommend Robert, and would use him again myself for either legal or real estate counsel in the Sebastopol or Santa Rosa area.” 07/28/15

He was more like a friend helping you navigate through the blur of real estate rather then an agent looking for a business opportunity. I highly recommend his services, you won’t be disappointed.” 07/09/15

"Once again Robert Bialkin helped me, this time to find commercial real estate to lease in Santa Rosa. So far Robert helped my friend as a bankruptcy attorney, helped me as a real estate attorney, and is now helping me as a real estate agent. Robert is the sweetest guy and negotiates the best deals for me! He is a one stop shop. His profile even says he is a personal injury attorney which he never bothered to mention. This guy is amazing and I recommend him all the time. Always answers to my calls and responds so quick to my emails and questions. I'll be back! Thank you Robert! 6/19/15

“We visited Robert at his office in Santa Rosa. I know he was originally a bankruptcy and real estate attorney but he was also really helpful with my mom’s estate planning.

He has been extremely helpful and we appreciate him.” 6/4/15

I highly reccommend him if you are ready to buy a home." 3/17/15

"Robert was awesome. He knew what I was looking for and he even showed me some properties that were a little over my budget. I ended up choosing the the bigger house. I'm glad he did because all the features of the home were upgraded and he knew that I was planning on doing the work myself. So he saved me time and money. I'm happy and all moved into my house and everything is already done, no upgrades needed! Since I'm a project guy looks like with the money I saved in the long run without haveing to upgrade the interior, can go toward a new outdoor kitchen and patio scene for entertaining! Thanks Robert!" 3/3/15

“We had a great experience with Mr. Bialkin. He met us on a Sunday as we had some urgent papers to sign and return. He was thoughtful and provided excellent service at a reasonable cost.

"We would like to give our wholehearted recommendation to attorney Robert Bialkin. Having arrived at the realization that bankruptcy was necessary in order to resolve a difficult financial situation, we felt stressed, confused, and apprehensive. The prospect of the whole bankruptcy process struck us as an inordinately complex and painfully humbling ordeal.  We reached out to Mr. Bialkin, who listened to us not only attentively, but also with patience, understanding, and respect.  His consistent guidance through the entire process--from the initial interview to our day in court--was caring, knowledgeable, and quite well organized. Overall, the bankruptcy process went smoothly and expeditiously for us, thanks to Robert Bialkin, and we are now on the road to financial recovery." 2/8/15

“I used Robert Bialkin as a bankruptcy attorney when I filed for Chapter 7. The entire process (from first walking in his front door to actually sitting in the court house and having my case discharged) took less than two months. He literally could not have made the process any easier. I really appreciated how he was prepared, thorough, and confident through the entire process. It was fast, efficient, and the judge was familiar with his work. Many other debtors spent a loooooong time up there being interrogated (which to me, was the “scariest” part)…however, when it was my turn, I was only asked a few questions and then my case was discharged. Mr. Bialkin does a lot of the organizational work up front so that the judge is able to quickly read, assess, and discharge your case. No humiliation, no uncomfortable questioning, no uneasy anxiety! Robert Bialkin was very communicative with me throughout the entire process, and he was always available to answer my phone calls and emails. His website has fool-proof instructions that make filing a breeze. If you are considering filing for for Chapter 7, just DO IT! I can’t believe I waited as long as I did to take this burden out of my life. Oh, and the greatest part is–he also does real estate, so when you *are* ready to buy a house, he can totally help you out! Thank you, Mr. Bialkin for doing such a great job with my case! Much appreciated!!! :)” 1/17/15

“When we went to Robert we had already been looking for an attorney for several weeks to help us with our bankruptcy. We even had one hour-long interview with another attorney in town who asked us a ton of questions but then ran out of time just as we wanted to ask him questions about the procedure. We left with more questions than answers and an uncomfortable feeling about his skills. Then we saw Robert Bialkin’s website which was upbeat, professional and specific as to procedure, so we met with him. He was the opposite of the first attorney and gave us quick, complete answers to all our questions and the time to explain our needs. He had such a pleasant “bedside manner” that when we left our very first meeting we went out to breakfast to celebrate finding someone we were confident could do the job! And just as Robert promised, things went quickly, smoothly and painlessly and we’re now back on track, on the road to financial recovery. Highly recommended!” 4/15/14

“I want to say a few words about a man I met a few years ago. I needed to help a good friend of mine, and I went to the Council on Aging and found they knew a wonderful bankruptcy lawyer that I could contact for help, Robert Bialkin. So since the woman I was helping did not know how to get help herself, I did it for her. Little did I know what an impact he would have on her, me, and other people I met along the way that needed someone in their corner. And sometimes that corner is not very big and it is tight and painful. Along comes Mighty Mouse, well, you know what I mean. What Robert Bialkin did for my friend made her life so much better. He was wonderful with her and patient and understanding of her needs. Next, my roommate was having a hard time, and so I mentioned Robert to him, but he felt it would not work for him, but would think about it. He did think about it, spoke to Robert, and really, Robert saved him from so much more anxiety that was facing him, and gave him peace of mind. I think he called Robert something like a dream come true, because he thought about going bankrupt, but felt it just would not help him. Oh, how it helped him. He wrote some great things about Robert. I also found a woman in my park that I did not know very well, and one day we spoke to each other and she told me she was having a terrible time, and did not know what to do. So, I asked her how she felt about getting rid of the problems about money and debt she had, and she jumped at it, but kind of held back, because older people just do not want to go too far with things like debt and how it looks to even consider help in this area. She got in touch with him and he helped her out and she is so much better now. Not crying anymore. And I too needed help, but with something else, and did not know where to go, and so I called Robert. He said he could help me, and help me he did. From that encounter he told me he was starting up referrals for people and would I be interested in letting people know. I just said, give me the banner and I will parade down town and sing…well, he doesn’t need that, but listen here is someone you can call, get answers from, he will help you with so many legal advice things you can’t even think of, and keep you happy and satisfied while doing it. Tell your friends, family, really, this man can help you. Also, he is a family man, he cares where other people just feel you are a number and nameless. He is a friend, someone you can trust. So I am happy to know him. He takes his time with you, and is there to help. He will not take you for a ride, unless you need one, and will point you in the right direction if he himself cannot help you. What more could you want? NO, he did not have to pay me to say any of this, well, I did have to give him one of my kids…so please do not go without knowing what to do and get a migraine, just talk to Robert Bialkin and no matter what, he will try and fix what it is you need fixed. And if he cannot fix it, he will find someone who can!” 4/13/14

But… if we do, we definitely know who to call. I would highly recommend that you contact Mr. Bialkin if you are having financial difficulties and there seems like there is no hope. We HIGHLY recommend Robert Bialkin!!!” 01/18/2014

"I am very grateful to Robert. He helped me get through bankruptcy. It was a very stressful and emotional time for me. Knowing someone is looking out for you with what may come up. He always returned calls and assured me there was always a solution. Not to mention very affordable and a very knowledgeable attorney!! I would refer him to anyone in need. 9/26/13

“When I finally came to grips with the fact that I had to file for bankruptcy, the next hurtle was finding an attorney. I networked and discovered that it would not be inexpensive. In coming across Robert’s name, the term “sliding scale” popped out and led me to call him. WOW! He answered the phone and completely took the worry away. When I hung up the phone, I felt like a million bucks because of his manner and concern for my situation. If you are not sure about who to hire, hire Robert Bialkin. If you think you can do the bankruptcy yourself, hire Robert Bialkin. If you need someone who understands and will work with your finances, hire Robert Bialkin. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive, and will be alongside you for every step of the process. Thank you, Robert, for getting me through a very difficult time.” 11/19/13

“I am a senior living on Social Security who found himself overwhelmed by credit debt that I was unable to cope with. I’ve had the pleasure of securing the very affordable and effective services of Mr. Robert Bialkin, to act as lawyer on my behalf in my recent bankruptcy case. He has made it easy and affordable to represent my case in Federal Bankruptcy Court by counseling me and helping me sort out the complex paperwork and filing fees. He was able to attain free filing (due to my poverty level income) and charged me well below average fees for his services. Not only was I helped with affordable case fees, I was treated with kindness and respect throughout the counseling services by Robert and his staff. I am very much relived and pleased with his valuable and timely service, on my behalf, to be unburdened of debt and get my life back on track. Thanks to the Law Office of Robert Bialkin.” 9/27/13

“Robert was excellent! He was very patient & knowledgeable to all of my mothers questions. I would highly recommend him to everyone in need of legal advice. My family will use him again in the future!” 9/26/13

“I met Robert Bialkin through the legal services offered by the Council on Aging in Santa Rosa. The fee for the initial consultation was $40, which I forgot and he made no mention of. We had a subsequent meeting and again he did not ask for any money. He also counseled me in phone conversations and emails. Again, the subject of money or a bill for services rendered did not come up. Finally, I had to ask him what I owed him. His bill was more than fair, at about half what I had expected. As it turned out, my situation changed and Robert referred me to someone he felt could better serve me. But my legal problems had been extremely stressful, which became clear to Robert, and he was still concerned about me. He called on several occasions just to see how I was doing and to offer help in any way. I’m 65 years old, and have had my share of lawyers, but none have been like Robert Bialkin. He got into his profession for the right reason — to be of service. Helping people is his first concern, not how much money can he make. I could not be happier with Robert and wholeheartedly recommend him 100%. He is the best. If you have a legal problem, I suggest you call Robert. You will be treated fairly and with respect, and if he feels someone else could better serve you, he will refer you to that person. If you start with Robert Bialkin you can’t go wrong.” 9/20/13

“I am so thankful for the help and guidance I received from Robert Bialkin at the time I needed to declare bankruptcy. I lost my home, my income, and had to move while dealing with large credit card debt, a bank lawsuit and large dental bills.

“As I was shopping around for the right attorney to file bankruptcy for my first time, I had noticed nearly all of them were quick to quote me fees and charges before they went into the actual process involved in filing. To me, that made me very uncomfortable and questioned the integrity of these attorneys. After feeling as if I should just give up, I was referred to Robert Bialkin. A little weary of having another negative encounter, I scheduled a consultation. Robert must have seen the levels of concern and doubts in my eyes regarding, not only my previous encounters, but regarding whether or not I’m making the right decision. After discussing the process in great detail, Robert put all my fears at ease. He put me and my concerns first, before any costs were discussed. I felt confident I was doing the right thing with filing and he took all of my worries of “the unknown” away.
