Robert Tobey Related Seminars and Products

Johnston Tobey Baruch

Robert is Board Certified in Consumer and Commercial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. More than any other specialization, this one requires a broad knowledge of civil law.

A 1980 graduate of the University of Texas School of Law, Robert began his undergraduate work at Southern Methodist University and earned a degree in economics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He was associated with two Dallas law firms before joining Randy Johnston in a litigation practice in 1987. Perhaps Robert’s best recommendation is the testimonial he received from a client who was defrauded by an investment company until Robert made it right.
