I highly recommend this law firm. Mr Robinson and the support staff are kind, understanding, knowledgeable. I was kept informed and my case was resolved quickly.

David Robinson review

We hired David to represent us in two cases and were very pleased with his firm. He and his team displayed a hard work ethic and were very professional. They also offered support and guidance throughout the process, even on weekends and were always there to listen to our concerns. David's team knows ...the laws and it's obvious from their performance that they have the experience to handle any case. We would definitely use this firm again and highly recommend them.

Our lawyer for life!

David has assisted my family in two separate child custody cases. One was for physical custody of my husband's daughter. David was able to help my husband obtain physical custody of her by practicing ethically and with integrity. This was a lengthy and drawn out case with many complex across state... line issues. He went above and beyond his call of duty to answer all of our questions and guided us in a way that we were within our legal rights and also protecting the best interest of the child. We had absolutely no issues getting in contact with him and were also able to establish a relationship with his assistant, Jessica. We trust David so much that we hired him to assist us in obtaining full physical and legal custody of a family member's child. We contacted him and the very next day, the papers were drafted and ready to be signed. David has always operated in a timely fashion for my family. We recommend him with glowing reviews to anyone who is in need of legal assistance for custody issues (and criminal matters) because we trust in his ability to get the job done every single time!

He knows his stuff

I have hired David to help me with multiple cases. In fact my entire family uses him. He represented me in a custody case that I had 2 lawyers previously not be able to help me. He then represented me in a criminal case that was dismissed. David is very attentive and helpful. He doesn’t make you feel... like you are being ridiculous and he genuinely cares! He is very knowledgeable and knows the laws. It took 3 years for the other lawyers to get me no where and it took David less than a year to get it fixed. I recommend him to everyone I know!

Posted by anonymous | October 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

One of the Best.

Last year I made a terribly irresponsible decision and attempted to drive home after an evening of catching up with old friends at a local bar. Long story short I was arrested and charged with DUI and a bad one at that. I did not wreck and I did not harm anyone but my BAC was above .15 which is very ...bad in the eyes of the law and calls for some severe punishments. I decided on having David Robinson represent me on the charges and it is easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. David was very honest and up front about the potential punishment I could receive but was also very convincing and confident that everything would be ok. During the months leading up to my court date David and his team stayed in contact with me and kept me up to date on everything that was happening and kept me prepared for every possible outcome. When my day in court finally came I was able to walk out of the court room a free man. A little lighter in the wallet and with several months of obligations to fulfill for the courts but much better off than I would have been with any other Attorney. He was able to have me convicted of a 1st time DUI ( which it was) with a BAC of .08 and had my fines reduced to the mandatory minimum. If it wasn't for sentencing guidelines that could not be avoided I believe David would have had my sentence reduced even more. Not once did I feel like I didn't deserve punishment for my DUI but everyone makes mistakes and shouldn't always lose everything they have or have their lives ruined over a poor decision that was completely out of character. David Robinson without a doubt is one of the best Attorneys in the region and goes above and beyond for his clients in and out of the court room. I will never use another Attorney as long as he is practicing.
