Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Robbins in a business contract dispute matter. Even in a matter on which we represented opposite sides, I have found Mr. Robbins to be professional, attentive, and most importantly a zealous representative for his clients' interests. I would not hestitate to recommend Mr. Robbins in any type of legal matter.

David Robbins's extremely proficient results speak for themselves. People who have seen him try jury cases say he is better than the "TV" lawyers. His general legal intellect is more than impressive. You can feel safe in any situation whether it be a long term estate planning case involving complex paper work, or the need for him to think on his feet during a trail. He is a very rare combination of a lawyer who is fantastic with a jury in a court of law or making sure complex estate work is handled diligently, competently, skillfully. David is one lawyer that does not fear going to court, and he welcomes a jury with a smile. In short, if you want an amazing trial lawyer with the ability to handle complex legal matters, then I highly recommend Mr. Robbins.

There's little praise greater a lawyer can give another lawyer than "If I had an issue myself, I'd call this lawyer first." That being said, if I ever have a legal issue of my own, the first person I'm calling is David Robbins. I've known Mr. Robbins since 2007 and I can tell you he is an attorney of the highest ethical and professional caliber you will find anywhere. If you are in the Washington/Sullivan/Carter county area, and you have a legal issue, you need to contact David Robbins first.
