About Robert
Robert Ross trained at Lafayette College and earned his J.D. from Cornell University in 1986. He entered the legal profession after law school and built a practice across state lines. His educational path combined a liberal arts undergraduate degree with several years of study at an Ivy League law school.
He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Over the years he has maintained active ties to professional groups aligned with trial work. He holds memberships in the American Trial Lawyers Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. He is also a member of the New York State Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, the Philadelphia Bar Association and the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association.
Those memberships reflect an emphasis on litigation and courtroom advocacy in his career. Colleagues describe him as steady and methodical in the preparation of cases. He has handled matters that require courtroom presence and negotiation at counsel table. He has balanced time between oral advocacy, client meetings and written submissions in state-level matters in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
His undergraduate study at Lafayette College preceded his legal training at Cornell. The combination gave him practice in both analytical thinking and detailed legal research. Law school peers remember a busy course load and steady performance in trial-related classes. He later reinforced that training through participation in local and state bar activities.
Today he continues to serve clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey while remaining engaged in professional associations in Philadelphia and beyond. He attends regional meetings and contributes to discussions among fellow trial practitioners. He concentrates his practice on litigation matters arising in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
