Superb Attorney

Doug was my disability attorney for many years. He is knowledgeable, intuitave, does what he says he will do. I found Doug to patient and kind during tumultuous times. Doug was able to bring about a favorable settlement with my insurance company. I highly recommend Doug to anyone who needs a disa...bility attorney.

Satisfied Client

Attorney Robinson was very easy to work with; personable, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He was very successful in getting my long term disability for which I paid premiums to CIGNA Insurance for over 8 years. We had many discussions about status and options of the cases as they were presente...d. He had excellent advice and I appreciated his hard work ethic, his compassion and dedication towards his clients. He won both my cases for me so I am very satisfied!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
