Profile

Robert J. Laubenthal is a retired Omaha Metro Area attorney.

Robert, also known as “Bob”,  began practicing law in 1965 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He and his wife, Dorothy, have been an active and involved member of the community for many years. He and his wife have also been very active in their church. Bob left his prior firm and joined Gallner & Pattermann in 2012 to be able to practice with his daughter. They have one adult daughter, Laura, a son-in-law, T.J., and two granddaughters, Morgan and Lauren, who are their pride and joy.
