About B. Robert
B. Robert Allard built his legal foundation at the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1991. He continued his studies at the University of San Francisco School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1994. Those years shaped his approach to litigation and to advising clients on legal strategy.
He practices in California. His work has unfolded inside and outside the courtroom. Over the years he has taken part in trials and in pretrial advocacy. He brings courtroom experience and an understanding of how civil cases move from filing to resolution.
Allard is a lawyer at Cerri, Boskovich & Allard, LLP. The firm name appears on filings and in the local legal community. At the firm he handles matters that require courtroom preparation, fact development and legal analysis. Colleagues describe him as deliberate in his preparation and direct in the courtroom.
Professional memberships have been a steady part of his career. He serves on the Board of Governors of Consumer Lawyers of California, a role that places him in the middle of state-level advocacy and policy discussions affecting civil litigators. He also maintains memberships in the Santa Clara County Trial Lawyers Association, the Santa Clara County Bar Association and the American Association for Justice. Those affiliations keep him connected to trial colleagues and to continuing legal education opportunities.
His practice has included cases that require trial readiness and client counseling. He works through evidentiary issues, discovery disputes and settlement negotiations. He prepares and responds to motions, oversees depositions and manages case budgets. His courtroom work reflects an emphasis on preparation and on presenting evidence clearly for judges and juries.
Outside the courtroom he participates in bar activities and professional development programs. His role on a statewide board gives him exposure to legislative trends and rules that affect civil practice in California.
