Generous with his time, seems to really care

I had an issue that was very specific and very nuanced. Despite that fact, Mr. Robinette took the time to hear me out and give me the help I needed.

Posted by Joel | February 12, 2018 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Offered to Help When No One Else would

Jeff Robinette considered my case carefully, and put time and effort into understanding it, and explaining my options to me. He was willing to consult with me and give me expert legal advice in a way that was both understandable and straight forward. From his explanations, it was clear that he was ex...perienced with this type of case and and gave me realistic expectations. He showed compassion to me and my family.

Posted by Ralph & Gracie | August 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

The Easy Way or the Hard Way?

This question was presented by Mr. Jeff Robinette, when retained to represent us; to an attorney who we believed committed legal malpractice. We asked Mr. Robinette to review our situation, then represent us which he agreed to do. From our experience, attorneys who were willing to do possible legal... malpractice are fairly rare. Apparently, it is not enjoyable to confront a fellow attorney who many have committed legal malpractice. Mr. Jeff Robinette met with our former attorney. Mr. Robinette gave him a choice to go the "Easy Way" which was a verbal, then written agreement stating everything the former attorney would need to do to make us whole. The other option, the "Hard Way", would have taken the previous attorney through the legal system. Apparently the former attorney was aware of Mr. Robinette's knowledge and court skills, therefore he made the decision that the hard way was not wise. In our relationship with Mr. Robinette, we felt that we were his only client. Communication was excellent, often receiving returning emails or phone calls in minutes or no longer than a day. This was most reassuring. At all times, Mr. Robinette gave us council, options, followed by wise recommendations as the best course of action. Mr. Jeff Robinette brought our situation to a most successful conclusion. We could not have had an attorney to represent us in a more professional, helpful, caring manner. We never physically met Mr. Robinette. All communications were emails or phone calls. We were in Florida, he was in West Virginia. After the case was concluded, our family was vacationing about 50 miles from Morgantown, WV. Jeff, wife Terri, two daughters an newly acquired puppy can to visit. How personal can an attorney be? What a nice time we spent together. We fully and completely endorse Mr. Jeff Robinette as an attorney in his several fields of expertise! Hire him as your attorney; you will have a talented person to represent you and likely a caring friend as well! Ralph & Gracie

Thank you so very much, Ralph and Gracie, for your gracious review. It was a pleasure to represent you, and even more a pleasure to get to know you, after your case was resolved, as friends.

Thanks to Jeff and his legal team

Our experience with Jeff and his firm has always produced the best possible result. Not only has he walked us through very technical business sales processes and contracts, but he also orchestrated the resolution of an extremely complicated property damage claim ... which, in many ways, kept our bus...iness from disaster. Though his legal expertise and credentials are second-to-none, the sensitivity and genuine care for his clients that he exercises are superior to any lawyer with whom I have ever been connected. As such, we heartily commend Jeff and his group to you with 5 STARS.

Posted by Carie and Shaun | October 17, 2013 | Construction & Development

Representation on faulty home foundation

We were in the process of selling our home, and found out that there was a massive crack through the entire foundation. We contacted our builder, who told us to call his lawyer. Since needed an attorney immediately and had not worked with one before, we didn't know where to start. After leaving a ...message for Attorney Robinette, he immediately returned my call and began working on the case. Because he has years of experience and knowledge of construction issues, he began working with forensic engineers to determine what needed to be done to repair our home. The exchanges with the contractor's insurance company were numerous, but Attorney Robinette worked tirelessly for a favorable outcome. While he was working our case, he was in constant contact providing updates and reassurance. In addition, he was always straight forward and honest about our situation and possible outcomes of the case. After a few months of negotiations with the insurance company, Attorney Robinette was able to secure a settlement that allowed us to have our home repaired and to recoup the fees we paid to various professionals. We would recommend Attorney Robinette for his strong legal knowledge, his persistence, integrity, and for the caring nature in which he treats his clients.
