Firm Emphasis and Work Experience
The primary focus of this firm is to help people work through difficult times by providing honest and accurate legal advice, and zealous and effective advocacy. Sacramento family law attorney Robert N. Kitay’s primary areas of practice is Family Law (divorce, custody, support, guardianships, etc.). I am open to new areas of practice if the right case presents itself. If you inquire about an area of practice that I cannot help you with, I will refer you to a professional that I know can help you.
I started out in the legal business as a paralegal in 1993, and worked in that capacity until 1997. As a paralegal, I worked mainly in complex asbestos litigation and personal injury defense (product liability, motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents).
Starting in late 1997 I worked as a law clerk for the California State Public Defender assisting in the presentation of death penalty appeals.
Starting in late 1998 I worked as a law clerk for the Sacramento County Public Defender, Major Crimes Division. I assisted the trial attorneys with the preparation and completion trials dealing with serious crimes (murder, bank robbery, etc.).
After graduating from McGeorge School of Law in 1999, I worked for the Nevada Supreme Court as a Criminal Staff Attorney for about a year. In this capacity, I counseled the Supreme Court Justices and wrote opinions and orders for them that primarily dealt with post-conviction appeals from serious felony convictions.
After leaving the Nevada Supreme Court in 2000, I went to work for a small private firm in the San Francisco/Bay Area. I handled all types of cases in the areas of criminal defense and personal injury (plaintiff's work).
In 2004 I began working for about a year with a Sacramento firm as an associate insurance defense attorney dealing with elder abuse cases, product liability, and personal injury.
In 2005 I went to work for another small Sacramento firm and worked mostly as a Sacramento family law attorney.
After leaving this employment, I opened my own firm.
As you can see from my experience, I have a varied background and have gained valuable experience in a wide variety of practice areas. The common thread among all this experience is litigation and trial work. Over the course of time, I have gained the skills and experience necessary to be an extremely effective litigation attorney. I am good at it, and it brings me a deep sense of satisfaction when I win for my client, which is most of the time.
I also have an extensive background in providing pro bono legal services. I have worked with such organizations as Voluntary Legal Services of Northern California and the Tri-Valley Haven (Bay Area service similar to WEAVE). For the last 3 years I have worked as an Pro Bono attorney with the Family Court in Sacramento County by helping, at the request of our Judges, self-represented litigants in custody and support cases.
