When I take on a case it becomes my personal mission.  I live and breath the client's cause, giving it my all in order to obtain the best outcome possible.  I enjoy a challenge and thrive under pressure.  I've learned throughout my years in litigation, that the best outcome is often times the one both sides agree to amicably without the need for trial.  However, to get to the position where the opposing side is ready to come to an amicable agreement, I know that I have to be prepared to take the case to trial.  I am a hard worker with a strong work ethic, and I look forward to the opportunity to work for your cause.

Robert D. Rightmyer is Peer Review Rated as AV® Preeminent™, a mark of excellence in Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system.. I am an experienced litigator and business lawyer, having honed my skills and practice over the past eighteen years, primarily with two large, well-respected law firms. For the majority of my career, I was associated with the statewide Florida law firm of Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A., where I was elevated to the status of Partner. Thereafter, I joined the international law firm of Foley & Lardner, LLP where he was Senior Counsel. After the rewarding and invaluable experiences at both firms, I decided to open his own law practice but have now have joined the NeJame Law, P.A. firm.. My practice and experience includes complex commercial litigation, contractual and other business disputes, non-compete and trade secret litigation, professional malpractice matters, business disputes, commercial landlord-tenant disputes and litigation, contract and corporate document preparation, and insurance-related litigation.

Perhaps one the main reasons I enjoy my practice defending businesses is that law is not my first “career.”  In fact, law wasn’t even the second.  Before I decided to become an attorney, I had already worked in and for businesses for almost a dozen years.  I’ve heard people say they “enjoyed law school” – although, frankly, it is not something I have heard that all that often.  After spending years in the work force handling leadership roles, teambuilding, solving problems, and making decisions, going “back to school” was different and, at times, humbling.  While I am glad that law school is far behind me now, I enjoyed serving as Managing Editor of Law Review and am still proud that I received various awards, such as Outstanding Oral Advocacy.. I have spent the last almost 14 years defending lawsuits brought against manufacturers, insurance companies, and other businesses.  Most of these cases involved allegations of product liability, personal injury, and/or premises liability.  Along the way, I have drawn upon my background of  leadership, service, and teamwork.  I have attained awards, such as being selected as a Rising Star by Florida Super Lawyers three consecutive years.  I have been inducted into the International Association of Defense Counsel, which according to its website is comprised of a worldwide membership of 2,500 invitation-only peer-reviewed  leading corporate and insurance lawyers.  I was selected as a Florida Legal Elite in 2013.  I was recently appointed to The Florida Bar’s Senior Lawyers Committee.  I am also an active member of the Transportation Lawyers Association, where I enjoy my work as Chair of the Diversity Sub-Committee.. Our firm is, by design, a small boutique firm in downtown Orlando, Florida.  Our firm practices throughout Florida, in every federal district, as well as major (and minor) metropolitan areas.  I am licensed to practice before the Courts of Florida, all three U.S. Districts in Florida, the 11th Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.  I am a Certified Litigation Management Professional, certified by the Claims and Litigation Management Alliance after a focused program at Columbia Law School.. It is suggested that I include something about myself in addition to my education, experience, awards, and such.  I am often told by clients and colleagues on both sides of the little “v” that I am good at what I do – perhaps that is because after over 30 years of working in and for businesses I have the experience and comfort level to enjoy what I do.  The shelves in my office are filled some awards – but mostly with pictures of people I love, my pets, some select books, and one plaque I was awarded over 20 years ago which, while simple, still inspires me:  “Leadership:  Leaders are like eagles. They don’t flock; you find them one at a time.”  I have learned that leadership is not often easy but the reward is, indeed, worth it.

My great grandfather, Eugene Malone, started a law firm in Central Illinois which my father, Richard James "Jim" Lannon, Jr., managed prior to being appointed Judge on the 13th Judicial Circuit, in and for LaSalle County, Illinois. My Aunt, M. Catherine Lannon, was the head of the Administrative Law Division of the Florida Attorney General's Office for 33 years after clerking at the 1st DCA. My cousin, Laura C. Lannon, served as a prosecutor for Cook County, Illinois (i.e., the Chicago metropolitan area) prior to her untimely and unfortunate death. You could say that being an attorney is in my blood.. Born in LaSalle, Illinois in 1974, my family moved to Dedham, Massachusetts when my parents divorced in 1984.

For the next 4 years, I worked as a sales representative for BellSouth Advertising & Publishing Corporation in Tucker, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. Being a sales representative prepared me for being an attorney, for it is far more difficult to sell a product or service to an unwilling buyer than it is to demonstrate to a jury or a judge why your client's position in the lawsuit is meritorious, or why your client deserves to win, and why your client deserves to be compensated (i.e., paid damages)..

I have also held the prestigious honor of serving as the Note and Comment Editor for the Journal.. After graduation from law school, I clerked for The Honorable Peggy A. Quince at the Florida Supreme Court for 2 years. I then worked at the 8th largest law firm in the world at the time in its Central Florida Litigation Practice Group handling commercial litigation and appeals. I left that Am Law 100 firm to work at an intellectual property litigation boutique before serving as the Deputy City Attorney in Palm Bay, Florida for 2.5 years. I was thereafter promoted to City Attorney, a position that I held for 7 years before founding my law firm.
