Kevin Robertson Review

I used Kevin back in July of 2014 with a criminal defense/University of Florida case involving sexual assault. I knew very little about him aside from what I had read through his reviews before making the initial phone call to him. Although he was unable to answer the phone call at first, he was the ...first attorney to call me back. After meeting with him, I knew he was the right guy for the job; he's extremely intelligent, responsive, and was at my side the entire process. Any question or concern I had, he was there to answer. He's eloquent and expressive, and knew the ins and outs of everything regarding criminal law and UF policies. I HIGHLY recommend Kevin Robertson.

Kevin Robertson: Caring and Competent Professional

My son made some very bad choices and was arrested on serious drug charges. However, it was very fortunate that he made the excellent choice to choose Kevin Robertson to represent him. Kevin was immediately responsive, informative and very personally concerned about my son and our entire family fro...m the beginning. He worked diligently to come to know my son personally so as to establish a strong defense and reach a favorable outcome. Kevin communicated with me, my husband and my son very frequently over the six months that it took to resolve the case. We were well informed and prepared as to what to expect when it came time for our "day in court". The favorable outcome is that my son avoided jail time and is a better person as a result of the professional and personal relationship he established with Kevin. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone needing legal counsel, especially regarding a criminal defense.

Thank you from Canada

Recently I contacted Mr. Robertson all the way from Toronto, Canada because my nephew who was training in Florida (University Football) got into some trouble. Mr. Robertson was immediately reassuring and patiently explained how the American legal system works and what options were available. He... took the time to answer all my questions and was available by phone even on the weekends. Mr. Robertson did accept to represent my nephew and worked with the other legal entity. We did not know what to expect and much to our so HAPPY surprise, my nephew's case was dismissed! Mr. Robertson handled our case with remarkable finesse, he is an excellent, outstanding attorney with a big heart for helping others! Sincerely, A grateful Canadian citizen

The Right Defense Attorney in Gainesville for Criminal Law

Attorney Kevin Dwayne Robertson has quality experience in the Alachua County Court System. He was able to handle a very difficult case for me in the past year. His experience working in Alachua County's State Attorneys Office, has made him very knowledgeable in what to expect from the judges and th...e prosecution. He is a respected member of this local legal community and was very artful in his negotiations with the State Attorney and building my defense case. What I appreciated the most was a personal relationship that he built with me and my family as we went through this difficult process. Always careful with his words and made sure during our meetings and conversations that he took the time to clarify any concerns, or areas of confusion we may have had. Definitely an honorable individual with a handle on his craft.

Would recommend him!!

He literally worked a miracle on our case. He had to get us out of a possession charge and he got us deferred prosecution, which was honestly very very very unlikely in our situation due to previous issues. But he did it, don't know how, but I am so glad we hired him!
