On asset protection: “In litigation-crazed countries such as the U.S. and in the U.K. it makes no sense to wait for a disaster before creating an asset protection plan that may include an offshore asset protection trust.”

Law: A member of the District of Columbia Bar, he received his juris doctor degree from the Law Center of Georgetown University in 1964 and a degree in international relations from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in 1959. He was honored with GU’s Distinguished Alumni Award in 1975.

On second citizenship: “Citizens of many countries have a right to consider acquiring a second citizenship, particularly in a country where taxes are more reasonable. A second passport can open doors that otherwise would remain closed. Best of all, a second citizenship/passport can serve as the key to protecting your assets, expanding your freedom—or even saving your life.”

Bob has traveled worldwide including the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Republic of South Africa, Rhodesia, Kenya, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Thailand, Canada, Bermuda, Mexico, The Bahamas, Panama, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Aruba and other nations.

On going offshore: “At a time when the United States government is deeply in debt prudence dictates offshore planning and financial activity.  So-called ‘patriotism’ does not require us to commit financial suicide when there are reasonable escape exits to better places.”
