Highly Recommended

Attorney Michael Robinson Is An Amazing Criminal Defense Attorney. My Son Had 7 Serious Charges, Both Felonies And Misdemeanors. I Reached Out To A Few Lawyers, But After Talking To Mr. Robinson, Something About His Compassion Made Me Obtain Him. He Explained Every Charge My Son Had And He Didn't Giv...e Me Any False Hope, He Also Assured Me He Was Gonna Do All He Could To Help Him. He's Professional Lawyer, And Dedicated to Helping People. The Outcome Of My Son's Case Resulted In Him Receiving A Deferred Findings; All Felonies And Most Of The Misdeamors Were Dropped (5 Will Be Expunged) , And After 12 Months The Remaining 2 Will Be Expunged, Hire Him!!!

Dedicated and Knowledgeable Legal Representation -- Best Possible Outcome For My DUI Case

In August 2020, I was unfortunately arrested in Loudoun County for DUI (First), with a recorded BAC of 0.15. This is a serious matter for anybody and should be treated as such. Like many, particularly in the DC area, I brought with it the complexity of some professional impacts that a DUI convictio...n would bring. I immediately began researching attorneys and met with several by phone and in person. Many were arrogant, judgmental, or simply short on time with me. The team at Robinson Law were none of these. Michael Robinson and the staff at his firm were, by far, the standouts of all the attorneys I spoke with. Michael listened and had me explain the details of my arrest and asked specific and intelligent questions. There was never a feeling of being judged, just a feeling of somebody that has helped people through this before and wanted to find the best path to help me as well. I knew immediately that I was going to get all the attention I needed, and that held true for the entirety of the case. He was always quick to respond to my questions, generally calling me within minutes of a text or email, regardless of the time of day. On the day of my hearing, Michael was able to use his vast experience in handling these cases, as well has his negotiating skills to convince the prosecuting attorney to drop the DUI charge. Later, because of my DUI charge being dropped, I wanted to immediately pursue expungement of the charges. Michael was so clearly experienced in this type of case as well, that throughout the entirety of the expungement case, I spent fewer than 15 minutes dealing with it personally, which includes my time in front of the judge. While I'm committed to never needing this type of legal support again, I am truly thankful I got the support and experience from Robinson Law that I needed. I couldn't have hoped for a more professional, comforting, and knowledgeable legal experience. I couldn’t recommend them higher.

Outstanding attorney!

There is a reason why Michael is so highly rated on Avvo - he is truly outstanding. He puts his client's interests before anything else and works tirelessly to ensure the best results for them. When Michael could not get an inexperienced and inflexible prosecutor to agree to a lesser charge, he im...mediately requested a retrial and waited until a more experienced prosecutor was assigned to my case. He then successfully negotiated a reduced charge that was satisfactory to both parties. Throughout the entire process, Michael never gave up and bent over backwards to ensure the best outcome. I have since hired him again to expunge the original charge. Michael is polite, professional, highly knowledgeable, and responds quickly to texts, phone calls, and emails. His assistant, Suzi, is also great and they work well together as a team. Needless to say, I give Michael and his firm the highest recommendation.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Robinson and his staff did a fantastic job of helping me through a very tough time. I had never been accused of a crime before and I did not know what to do or where to turn. If I had ended up with a criminal record, my family and professional life would’ve been over. Attorney Robinson was ...sympathetic and treated me with respect and kindness. His cellphone was always available for questions and concerns. He got me an INCREDIBLE result by reducing my felony to a misdemeanor. My family and I are so grateful we found him. Following the court judgment, I decided to select him again, this time for conviction expungement. I highly recommend him.

Someone to have on your side

Michael Robinson has been of great help over the past year. I first came to meet Michael after a DUI and possession charge. He was quick to understand that we all make mistakes in life and that you can turn yourself around and go down a more positive path. This took many months to resolve as there w...ere multiple negotiations and tests that had to be completed. He kept me informed along the way and as the case progressed he gave me a fair representation of the possible outcomes. Through his diligent work with the prosecutors office he was able to make a case to them which dismissed the possession charge and ended with a reckless driving instead of a DUI. Not knowing which way this could go it was the better of possible outcomes for myself. He was even able to assist me many months later in getting the charges expunged. He will go head to head with other lawyers and will be much more informed, to the point that the judge will listen and lean towards his side.
