About Robert L
Robert L Pomper built a career that moves between courtrooms and strategy sessions. He studied politics, economics, rhetoric and law at the University of Chicago, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1988. He followed that with a J.D. from Tulane University School of Law in 1991. Those years shaped a practical approach to cases and a comfort arguing complex issues.
His early professional life put him inside litigation teams. In 2007 he was director of litigation at the Jeffery Leving firm, a role that placed him on high-stakes family law and trial work. He then joined Johnson Sauer Legal Group in 2010 as a lawyer, and later moved to Harris Law Office, P.C., where he served as a lawyer in 2012 and then as of counsel in 2017. In 2018 he held director of litigation positions at both Elkus & Sisson and Burnham Law, PC, roles that emphasized case management and courtroom preparation. In 2020 he became a partner at Pomper Price, LLC.
Across those moves, litigation remained a steady thread. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing matters for trial and disciplined in handling procedural and evidentiary challenges. He has experience directing litigation teams, coordinating expert witnesses, and framing legal strategy for contested hearings. The work has required attention to deadlines, an ability to synthesize complex records, and steady courtroom presence.
Pomper is licensed to practice in Illinois and Colorado. That geographical reach has let him handle matters in different courts and under varying procedural rules. It has also meant adapting advocacy styles to different judges and local practices. He has been active in bar-related circles and maintains professional memberships aligned with his litigation practice.
His courtroom years are balanced by administrative and supervisory responsibilities. As a director of litigation, he oversaw case-flow and mentored more junior lawyers. As a partner, he shares firm leadership duties alongside client work. The result is a practice that mixes client advocacy with internal firm management.
Clients and colleagues say he favors clear, plainspoken argument. He prepares for hearings down to the last detail and expects the same from his team. He has navigated motion practice, discovery disputes, and trial preparation across multiple matters and jurisdictions.
He currently practices at Pomper Price, LLC and his work focuses on litigation matters in Illinois and Colorado.
