Robert Rohrbaugh II

At PrisonLawFirm.com, we understand the system from both sides of the bars. Founder Robert Rohrbaugh practiced criminal law handling both state and  federal cases for over 25 years.  During that time he defended clients in some of the toughest courtrooms in America. In a rare and extraordinary turn, Bob found himself in a situation that would take him from a member of the bar to behind the bars.  

After being indicted in Federal District Court for what amounted to receiving fees to represent a client while being wilfully blind that those monies were illegally gained by the client, his case proceeded to trial where he was acquitted on one count with the jury hung on the remaining three counts.  When the government changed the rules, he was convicted in his second trial and sentenced to 52 months in Federal Prison. That experience gave him what no law degree can teach: firsthand knowledge of how the Bureau of Prisons operates. Bob used that time to help countless fellow prisoners defend their rights and navigate the system. Today, he brings that same relentless energy to prisoners, their lawyers and their families nationwide. Bob is currently working towards reinstating his law license.
