About Robert Teel
Robert Teel received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from the University of Southern California in 1981, with a minor emphasis in civil engineering and architecture. He received his Juris Doctor and Masters in Business Administration from the University of Kansas in 1986 with an emphasis in finance. While attending the Kansas University Schools of Law and Business (1982-1986) he was a floor trader for his own account at the Kansas City Board of Trade. Robert was admitted to the California and Kansas Bars in 1987 and the Washington State Bar in 2021, and has been a member in good standing since. He actively practiced the law full time from 1987 to 1997. He started a solo practice in 1991 after working for two law firms, including Weissburg & Aronson, before leaving the active full-time practice of law to pursue a career in law and finance, private equity, and as a member of the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, and New York Mercantile Exchange. Mr. Teel returned to practice the law full time in January 2016 following the death of his business partner in 2010. He currently works as a sole practitioner devoting himself full time to class action and impact litigation matters. Robert has been involved litigating and advising in dozens of lawsuits and arbitrations against major corporations, some of which have gone to trial or arbitration, and others which were successfully settled. He has extensive experience in successfully prosecuting, defending, and advising plaintiffs and defendants in complex litigation, including matters pertaining to class action lawsuits, over 800 state court cases, adversary bankruptcy proceedings, and state and federal regulatory actions. Robert has been responsible for determining and providing legal opinions about the value of plaintiffs' claims and lawsuits, and has obtained settlements worth over $100 million dollars for plaintiffs during his legal career.
