The Two Bobs vs. The BOP

At The Prison Law Firm, the two Bobs, Robert Root III and Robert Rohrbaugh II take on the Bureau of Prisons every single day. Here’s a look at a recent deposition.


When the Bureau of Prisons makes a decision, it can affect everything: where someone is housed, whether they receive First Step Act credits, whether RDAP is approved, how much halfway house time they receive, whether home confinement is considered, and how quickly a loved one returns home. Families and attorneys often feel powerless once a person enters federal custody. We do not.

The Two Bobs bring a rare combination to federal prison work. Attorney Robert Root III brings aggressive legal advocacy and federal-court experience. Robert Rohrbaugh II brings something most firms simply cannot offer: firsthand experience inside the Bureau of Prisons after decades as a criminal defense lawyer. Together, they understand the courtroom, the paperwork, the BOP policies, and the reality of daily prison life.

Prison Law Firm helps prisoners, families, and attorneys challenge BOP errors, review sentence calculations, pursue First Step Act credits, evaluate RDAP eligibility, prepare administrative remedies, address home confinement and halfway house issues, and build a lawful strategy for release. Every day matters. A missed credit, delayed remedy, wrong designation, or ignored policy can cost weeks or months of freedom.

Whether you are preparing for sentencing, already in BOP custody, advocating for a loved one, or representing a client who needs federal prison guidance, the time to act is now. Let the Two Bobs take on the Bureau of Prisons for you.

The two Bobs bring a perspective most law firms lack.

Robert Rohrbaugh II

At Prison Law Firm, we understand the system from both sides of the bars. The firm’s paralegal Robert Rohrbaugh practiced criminal law handling both state and  federal cases for over 25 years (now working as a paralegal). 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.  Read Bob’s Book >>

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.  During the second trial, he was convicted 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.

Robert Root III

Attorney Robert L. Root III completed his undergraduate studies at Youngstown State University in Ohio, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Criminal Justice in 2003. He is an active member of the Ohio State Bar and licensed to practice law all Federal courts
