About Robert
Robert Hicks serves as Of Counsel at The Deni Law Group, LLC, where he brings courtroom experience and a steady presence to complex disputes. He is admitted in New Jersey and also appears in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. His practice is built on litigation work and procedural strategy, shaped over years of handling contested matters in both state and federal forums.
Hicks’s professional path is rooted in courtroom advocacy. He holds memberships across several bar and trial organizations that reflect that orientation. He is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Essex County Bar Association and the Union County Bar Association. He also belongs to national organizations, including the American Bar Association and the American Association for Justice.
Peers recognize his commitment to trial technique. Hicks is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. He serves as a Master in the Haydn Proctor Inn of Court, a role that centers on collegial mentoring and the exchange of practice wisdom among trial lawyers and judges. Those affiliations underscore a steady engagement with trial procedure, preparation and courtroom presentation.
Arbitration and dispute resolution are part of his docket as well. Membership in the American Arbitration Association signals regular work in alternative dispute resolution forums. That work often parallels his trial practice, requiring preparation for hearings, witness examination and the drafting of detailed advocacy papers.
Hicks’s office locations are in Princeton and Flemington. From those bases he handles matters that require both local knowledge of New Jersey courts and the ability to litigate in federal court when cases cross state lines or raise federal issues. He is comfortable moving between different venues and tailoring strategy to the forum at hand.
Beyond formal memberships, his professional life is marked by steady participation in bar activities and peer networks. He attends continuing education programs and contributes to the mentoring culture that organizations such as the Haydn Proctor Inn of Court aim to foster. He currently practices from the firm’s Princeton and Flemington offices, handling trial advocacy and arbitration matters.
