Rob grew up the son of a renowned San Jose injury lawyer, Bob Bohn, so he has been around the law his entire life. In college, Rob was a psychology major initially planning to practice as a clinical psychologist. It was there that he learned what would eventually be critical information in understanding people who have suffered trauma and studying the brain's structures and function. As he neared graduation, Rob realized he could do more good by becoming a trial lawyer. So, off to law school he went. After earning his Juris Doctor degree from Santa Clara University School of Law in 1995, Rob took the California state bar and passed the first try, even being invited to return to grade the exam for future examinees. He then embarked on his journey helping people who needed the most help by caring for and representing people with serious life-changing injuries and families of those killed by others. Through the years, Rob has lectured to lawyers and paralegals about brain injury, jury selection and how to handle various kinds of injury claims. He has held leadership positions in local and state trial lawyer organizations and been recognized for his excellent results and service to his clients and, more generally, to the people of California. Rob is known to preach to other lawyers, "You must be a believer in our cause. This isn't a job - it's a calling to help others", a mantra he lives and practices by. Rob finds the practice of personal injury litigation interesting and rewarding. As a former competitive athlete and current youth sports coach (for more than 30 years now), he enjoys the competition and the strategy common in coaching sports and litigating major injury cases. Each take creativity, commitment, knowledge and grit. Each require good communication and teaching others. The thrill of victory keeps his juices going. With this unique background, you will not find Rob plastered on billboards, screaming at you on TV, claiming (like everyone else) "we'll fight for you", standing on a truck, wielding a baseball bat or all those other silly things that lawyers who consider practicing law to be "their business" do. The best lawyers do not need to resort to such silly tactics. The best lawyers, who are recognized by their peers and judges at the best at their craft and the most ethical, do not do those things. The best lawyers who are recognized and awarded by their peers for their good work, do not do those things. The best lawyers give back by leading other trial lawyers. When looking for a truly good and effective lawyer, these are the things lawyers look for. This is Rob's history. Golden State Lawyers, APC is a boutique firm that cares about and knows our clients. We are not a client mill where clients never even get to know their lawyer and are seen as financial resources rather than as human beings who need meaningful and effective help. Come let Rob take care of you.
