Confident and Professional

I was charge with DWI and driving with an open container, and out of all the lawyers I consulted with in the area Mr. Robinson and his staff were the most professional and confident in approaching my case. I have maintained a clean record thus far, and so this was a new and uncomfortable experience, ...but Mr. Robinson was able to put my mind at ease. He knew everyone involved in the case; gave simple and straightforward advice; and kept me updated throughout the entire process. In the end I beat both charges and was able to leave without a major tarnish on my record. I can't thank him or his staff enough!

DUI Case

Mr. Robison is a life saver. I️ had a DUI case which was not in my favor and it had me worried about my career, family, and my life. After being charged with a DUI I️ searched for an attorney, without a doubt after reading Micheal’s reviews on Avvo I️ decided to give him a call. After the confidence ...he gave me and just the way he would challenge my case I️ hired him and never regretted it. He always answers back emails and calls, keeps you updated throughout, and he NEVER gives falls hope. he is very straight forward, In fact he gives you the advice to expect the worst. After 8 long months of continuances my court date finally came. Michael Robinson reviewed my video found a flaw and exploited it to the judge. Before my court date I remember Michael stating that my chances were very low but he would do everything in his power to win this case for me. On the day of my court date, Michael was able to drop all charges against me with ease. He walked in very confident and challenged the officers reason for stop. And within 10 minutes I️ walked with a dismissal.

High DWI BAC!!

One bad decision caused me to have a long night in Fairfax County Jail and a DWI charge 1st Offense. With my mind racing and thinking about all the worst case scenarios and how I put certain areas of my life in jeopardy, I researched DUI lawyers in Fairfax. I read through many different lawyer review...s & while most laywers had some positive reviews, something about Mr. Robinson’s reviews spoke to me. I emailed him one morning and his assistant Suzi called me back promptly to introduce herself and listen to my case. Suzi was very pleasant & professional on the phone and I felt a bit at ease. I told Suzi I needed to weigh some options before making my decision. Later on the afternoon I received a call from Mr. Robinson which was a surprise but I appreciated him calling me on his own without a request from me. I explained my case to Mr. Robinson and he was understanding of my situation but he didn’t sugar coat anything. I told him a needed to think over my options before making a decision. After thinking and researching all night I decided that retain Mr. Robinson the next day. During our first face to face meeting Mr. Robinson was easy to talk to he and explained all possible scenarios that could play out in court. After meeting him I felt I made the right choice because I felt he would go to bat for me in court. After 9 months and at least 4 continuances, Mr. Robinson was able to get the DWI reduced to reckless driving with 6 months driving restriction and asap classes. For what I was up against this was the best outcome for me especially since I expected worse. Mr. Robinson was definitely the best choice and I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance!

Great experienced lawyer

From the moment I spoke to Michael on the phone I knew I had hired the right lawyer. He was professional, patient and effective. I asked lots of questions and he always had an answer. He was available whenever I needed him. And in the end, after an impressive deliberation, my case was dismissed. I wo...uld recommend him highly!

DUI/DWI & Refusal

I was charged with a DUI/DWI 1st offense and Refusal to blow on 1st offense which would have changed the direction of my life and my career. I did extensive research on AVVO and after speaking with several lawyers, I decided to hire Mr. Robinson to represent me because he came across as very knowled...geable and confident. Once Mr. Robinson had the chance to see the evidence of the case, a video recorded by a body camera, he assured me my case was in good shape. The day of trial the prosecutor offered a plea deal which consisted of dropping my Refusal charge in exchange for pleading guilty to my DUI/DWI offense, but I refused to accept the deal. The case went to trial, Mr. Robinson made it seem easier than it was, and both charges were dismissed. The favorable outcome of my case was better than I expected and I can't thank enough Mr. Robinson and his staff for putting my life back on track.
