Excellent Attorney

Attorney Kevin Robertson assisted me with my case back in August of 2012. Kevin was able to get my 3 Felony charges reduced to 1 Felony, which was ultimately dropped after a year of PTI. Kevin also went out of his way to stand up for me during a hearing at a University I was attending and helped me... get back into school and attain my Bachelors. We are currently working on the expungement of my record. Kevin has helped me get my life back in order and has continued to support me even after my case.

Found Kevin through a friend, and I definitely would recommend him for your legal needs!

Kevin was an excellent lawyer. He managed to turn my situation from something potentially very bad to as if it never even happened. Kevin is a former prosecutor and knows the "other side" and is able to provide enough information to his clients so that they understand all of the possibilities o...f what may occur. Although it may not seem like he is working "fast enough," he always follows through and will follow up. Lawyers are busy people! I decided to hire him a second time for miscellaneous services after having an excellent resolution the first time around!

Kevin Robertson- Excellent Lawyer, Highly Recommend

My freshman year, Kevin Robertson helped me with my case involving criminal defense. At the time, I was completely overwhelmed and unsure about my future moving forward. It was the first time I had ever run into trouble with the law. Fortunately, it was the last time and I attribute that to Kevin's ...hard work and genuine determination to resolve my case. Kevin possesses an excellent understanding and knowledge of the law. He was trustworthy, understanding, patient and made it a point to keep me informed in all aspects of my case. I took three meetings when deciding who would represent me and Kevin stood out the most. Choosing Kevin was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend Kevin Robertson.

Above our family's expectations

I truly believe sometimes the right person comes along and knows what to say, knows what to do, and gives a solid plan of action, follows through and not only picks up the pieces; but leaves a person better off. Mr. Robertson is this person. When our only son was arrested for DUI and drugs, a family... friend referred us to Mr. Robertson. We called. He answered the phone. He met with us the same day. Minutes after stepping into his office, I knew he was the right person: Warm, intelligent, interested, and listened to our endless stream of questions. He calmed us all down with his patient explanations. Once he was on the case, he emailed and called and returned our calls. But mostly, I got the sense that he cared about our kid and fought several battles to get the positive result he got. He worked and worked until the district attorney gave in. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Robertson. The circumstances that led us to him were rough; but in the end, his advice and legal work got our son out of a very difficult and scary place. Really good.
