Excellent Attorney With A Big Heart!

I was referred from a very respected executive to contact Brandon Alexander Robinson, what can I say. I have been dealing with a unethical competitor who has been defaming and slandering our business. He conveyed to me what I needed to do and know before I proceed with my civil defamation case. He to...ok the time out of his busy schedule to help me out when several other attorneys wouldn't even take my call! Priceless....I am now putting together the information I need and will definitely be contacting him asap. I will recommend him always to both family and friends...Believe me it's hard to find a man with big mind and a big heart. God Bless you Brandon

An Excellent Estate-Planning Experience

My husband and I worked with Mr. Robinson on our healthcare powers of attorney, wills, and other estate documents. He explained everything (both points of law and legal terms) and was extremely patient with all our questions. Mr. Robinson was both meticulous and thoughtful in his preparation, as wel...l as knowledgeable on all the points of law. Working with him was a pleasure because we felt ourselves to be in good hands. We did not have an attorney before, but we do now, because we will trust Mr. Robinson with any other legal matters in the future.

Exceptional!!!

I've sought a legal consult with Att. Rpbinson multiple times and, without exception, he has revealed himself to be a markedly intelligent, gifted, highly credible, thorough, conscientious, knowledgeable and reliable practitioner. I was particularly impressed by his propensity and readiness to provid...e verification of relevant legal code and by his commitment to ascertain and confirm his interpretation of applicable law with highly experienced senior counsel. Though a relatively young legal practitioner, he gained my trust implicitly as a result of the above and his attention to detail, quick grasp of the issues and patience in his dealings. Though I'm now retired, during my 40 year career largely as a Fortune 500 corporate executive and as an advisor to prominent elected officials, I'd worked with innumerable attorneys. It is my opinion that Mr. Robinson represents a new breed of very talented young lawyers who deserves every opportunity to realize his exceptional good nature, supportive demeanor and superior capability.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Accommadating

I met with Brandon almost exactly a year ago to discuss a potential law suit. Brandon took the time to talk with me and discuss everything that happened. He thoroughly examined all the documents I had and ask me very thorough questions regarding the matter. At the end of the discussion, I was not ...happy with Brandon's view on the matter (lol) but was glad he gave me his honest opinion and was glad to help me in the future if something changed. I definitely will be using him from this point forward if I need legal advice and/or assistance. Thanks Brandon and keep up the good work!!

My experience with Attorney Robinson

I recently enlisted the service of Attorney Robinson for a local real estate matter. I had been advised by a previous law firm that, after their research, I was not the legal heir to a certain rental property that had belonged to my late wife. Given that advice, I then wanted to know what my legal s...hare in the property would be based on my wife's will, which left all assets to our two children, one of which (our daughter) had passed away in the interim and whom I was her heir, and whether spousal elective share was applicable in my case. I contacted Attorney Robinson and he far exceeded my expectations. Although the elective share time window had expired, Attorney Robinson, through his attention to detail, determination, and thoroughness found what the previous law firm had not found - that the property belonged to me in entirety. It was all there in the deed paperwork, but overlooked by a different lawyer. Needless to say, I was thrilled with that news. I cannot say enough about Attorney Robinson. Not only is he exceedingly competent, but also a gentleman and fine community servant. I could tell that money is not the driving force in his practice like so many others, but rather integrity and service to mankind. Very rare in my experience. For me, Attorney Robinson turned out to be a very, very pleasant surprise and I feel he would be a fierce and capable advocate for anyone he represents.
