Robert Caldwell is originally from Memphis, Tennessee, and attended college in Nashville, Tennessee at Vanderbilt University followed by law school at St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri where he was the first law student to argue in front of the Missouri Court of Appeals. He is licensed to practice law in Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, and Federal District Court of Colorado and of the Eastern District of Missouri.
In 2008, Robert Caldwell started his career in Missouri as a public defender with the Missouri State Public Defender, representing indigent people accused of crimes. Caldwell left being a public defender to move closer to his now wife and broaden his ability to make a difference.
In 2012, Caldwell entered private practice where he represented employees fired or otherwise illegally discriminated against by their employers, people injured by the negligence of others, as well as employees injured on the job. In 2016, he relocated to Colorado because his wife, who is involved in renewable energy, needed to be closer to one of the best scenes for renewable energy. He chose The Sawaya Law Firm because it reflected deep and fundamental principles that he had always had and further developed in his practice. At The Sawaya Law Firm, Caldwell is not limited in his ability to try cases nor his ability to serve the public in the cases he takes. Here, he represents people injured by the negligence of others resulting in slips and falls or car wrecks. He also represents people on a mass scale who have been harmed by companies in lawsuits called class actions. For example, if a property management company illegally withholds security deposits from 10,000 tenants, that lawsuit would be a class action. If a large hospital system illegally asserts an ability to collect money from injured patients’ settlements or judgments, that is a class action lawsuit.
Caldwell is a member of the following attorney associations based on his work: Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys, the American Association of Justice, Attorney Exchange and Information Group, and Taxpayers Against Fraud.
When he is not working, thinking or strategizing about your case or another case, you will find him on the hiking trails with his wife and two young children. If you see him, don’t be a stranger.
