Robert A. Von Esch IV IV, Attorney

Robert Von Esch, Attorney at Law
Schroeder & Associates, ALC

Rob comes from a long line of attorneys.  In total, there are eight attorneys in his family.  To say the least, he was born to be a lawyer.  Rob thoroughly enjoys helping people, which is why he is an attorney.     

Rob's wife, Amy, is a practicing attorney as well.  Rob and Amy have a beautiful daughter, Ella.  They reside in Orange County.   

In his spare time, Rob enjoys traveling, golfing, surfing, fishing, and skiing with his friends and family.  Unfortunately, there is never enough free time. 

Rob has tried numerous cases in most jurisdictions throughout Southern California.  He has obtained several multi-million dollar awards for his clients and argued successfully before the California Court of Appeals.

He is a trial attorney at heart.  However, Rob recognizes that Court is not always the best place for his clients.  Rob's firm but, fair approach to litigation often opens the door for favorable settlement negotiations. 

Rob firmly believes in promptly returning phone calls and making himself available for his clients whenever they need him.  Part of his job is to put you at ease and prompt communication goes a long way towards accomplishing this goal.  Thorough preparation and aggressive representation do the rest.

Notable Cases:

La Costa de Marbella v. City of Carlsbad- $12.5 million, plus repairs.
Tingzon v. City of Oceanside- $6.25 million, plus repairs.
Fick v. Fieldstone Inc., property buy-back.
Jayco v. Strong - cost of cleanup contaminated soil plus punitive damages
