"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Mr. Robinson for three years. We belong to the same organization and see each other in national conferences and had the opportunity to work on one case together. One client of Mr. Robinson was traveling in California and while in California, she suffered a catastrophic event and required care in a nursing home. I handled the Medi-Cal long-term care benefit planning and application for the client, and in that process, I reviewed the estate planning documents prepared by Mr. Robinson. The documents were properly prepared by Mr. Robinson. Also, since the client had a primary residence and other assets in New York, I spoke with Mr. Robinson on several times concerning the transfers of assets, and each time, Mr. Robinson demonstrated excellent professional and personal knowledge of the case. The care with which he takes care of his client was evident."

His office does great work, as evidenced from the work I've sent him and received back, on behalf of clients with real property in NY."
