Continuing the Handelman Legacy

Robert “Bob” Handelman is gradually transitioning Handelman Law Office to EQUES Law Group so clients can continue receiving local, responsive legal service backed by a broader team.

A thoughtful and orderly transition

Bob remains available for the matters he continues to handle. EQUES is supporting the transition and is available to speak with current and former Handelman clients, subject to conflict review and a separate written engagement agreement.

What this transition means for clients

Every client retains control over who provides legal representation and where the client’s file is maintained.

  • 1
    Continue with Bob where applicable.
    Bob may continue handling certain existing matters that he has agreed to retain.
  • 2
    Ask EQUES to consider your matter.
    EQUES may evaluate whether it can take over or assist with a matter after completing conflicts and intake review.
  • 3
    Select another lawyer.
    You may retain any attorney or law firm of your choice.
  • 4
    Request your file.
    You may ask that your file be returned to you or transferred to another lawyer you select.
Important: No matter is automatically transferred to EQUES. EQUES does not become your lawyer unless conflicts are cleared and you and EQUES enter into a written engagement agreement. Do not assume that a court date, filing deadline, hearing, statute of limitation, or other time-sensitive obligation has changed because of this transition.
Bob and Ruth’s legacy

Our goal is not simply to receive files or answer a familiar telephone number. It is to preserve the trust behind those relationships while making a broader legal team, additional technology, and expanded resources available to clients.
