Outstanding Attorney

I felt that considering my case, it was handled properly and in the utmost professional manner. I am very happy that my case turned out the way it did and extremely pleased with the outcome. You were fantastic and very patient with me regarding all of the questions that I had. Any questions were answ...ered promptly and without a doubt, if I ever need legal representation in the future, I would not hesitate to contact Bruce Robinson.

Bad experience

We retained Mr Robinson to represent us in a personal injury case. We found the his office was not responsive or easy to communicate with. We would not recommend.

Fantastic DUI Lawyer

Dear Bruce, I am still in awe of what you and your associates have accomplished for me in and out of the courtroom last week and want to take this time to thank you for your truly exceptional work. I hardly know where to begin in my gratitude except from the beginning. When I called you... just days before the court date, I had already resigned myself to at least six months in jail and a $3,000 fine for a fourth DUI offense. This is what the hack attorney I had retained told me was the best outcome and that I should be glad for that! I agonized for over two months, night and day, as to what I was going to do, until I called you late on the Saturday four days prior to the court date. My first feeling of hope just speaking to you since the arrest. You told me you would meet me at your office the next day, on a Sunday afternoon of all times, to discuss the case. Sunday came and you were there, while addressing the seriousness of the case I could detect the confidence you had. Having all but given up on myself facing my fourth DUI along with seven other serious charges and fines, not to mention the fee to retain you and your associates, I felt a bit recharged. I wasn't even sure that I could afford your courtesy offer of half of reduced fee for handling a case such as mine. The next day (Monday), it was decided that you would be retained and paralegal Melissa was on the phone with the MVA and managed to pull an unexpected rabbit out of the hat to have my driving license back (with no strings attached) within a short time afterwich the fate of my driving privileges would be determined at a later date by an Administrative Hearing. She is really on the ball, BTW. All of this before the retainer reached your office. The next day in your offices, I met with you, Alexandra Miller and the rest of the office and felt like there was a dedicated team devoted just to the case at hand (knowing full well that you all had so many other cases to deal with). While Alexandria was interviewing me, taking notes and pretty much going through my life history and circumstances to get a feel for me, you were across the desk making things happen with my prior attorney. He was fired, you and your team were hired and you managed to recover most of the retainer placed on the hack attorney which was more expensive than your reduced fee. This was all accomplished the day before the trial. Truly remarkable. The next day at court, you amazed me at how you and Alexandria handled things. This is the first time I actually had a team of attorneys represent and work so hard for me, which I have never seen nor experienced in a courtroom before. Also, something worth the mention is the truly genuine HUMAN connection and compassion I felt from yourself and everyone associated with the case which was never experienced by any other law firm, even though I felt it was not deserved. Let's see, out of eight charges (four or five of which could have carried jail time and all carrying heavy fines) you were able to 'Nolle Prosequi' all but one. That one, which carried several years in jail and a $1,000 fine, resulted in NO JAIL and NO FINES! Now, I only have complete an alcohol education program, which I really need. Bruce, myself and my family can not thank you and your staff enough on the results that were delivered and I will recommend your representation to everyone in a jam like this or similar. My utmost sincerity and appreciation for everything you have done for me; any body that does not hire your firm for DUI is making a very big mistake!

Great Result and Service

Robinson and Associates Attn: Bruce Robinson, Esq. 25 Hooks Lane, Suite 302 Baltimore, MD 21208 Dear Bruce: I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to you and your whole team for the diligent and quality representation received while facing my 2nd DUI charge. Despite the fact that the fi...rst conviction was 11 years ago, I still faced the terrifying reality of being treated as a repeat offender and possible time in the county jail. Conviction of this 2nd charge would have put a roadblock in my rapidly advancing professional career, professional licenses, etc. From the initial meeting, on a holiday weekend to boot, I felt assured that I made the right choice in Robinson & Associates. The phone calls and e-mails were always returned promptly and in an assuring tone. I would be remiss if I didn’t specifically mention the quality of your paralegal staff as well. Melissa was a superstar to work with and is a sure asset to your firm. On the day of the trial you continued with your reassurances that we would be in good shape and we were appearing before a great judge. To be honest, the whole trial process is a bit of a blur because of the extreme nervousness on my part; however, in the end the DUI charge was reduced to the lesser DWI and you successfully convinced the State’s Attorney to not oppose a finding of Probation Before Judgment (PBJ). Additionally, you convinced the judge that this charge was effectively my first offense and he did not consider my conviction from out of state 11 years ago. You had the arguments ready if need be but thankfully we didn’t need to go that route due to your diligence. The final result was a PBJ with unsupervised probation! That equates to a victory in my book and I can now rest more peacefully now that this is behind me. When you hire Robinson & Associates you are hiring the best team in my book. Bruce, Matt, and Melissa are unmatched in their client service and knowledge. Rest assured you have a true advocate in me as well and I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone. Kind regards,

The Best Around!

What can I say? My 2nd DUI in 2 years and I thought I was in the weeds!!! I met with Bruce and not only did he find holes in my case, but he got my case dropped and defended my case so well that the Judge commented to the cop he should be re-certified for field tests! Thanks Bruce!
