A Caring and Diligent Professional

Dave and I are good friends who attended law school together in Virginia. My personal connection aside though, I can honestly tell you he is one of the most diligent and caring people I have ever met. He treats even his clients like friends and is compassionate and caring in everything he does. He's ...even helped me with my personal challenges and legal questions, and I'm an attorney too. From the hard work he put in during law school to the volunteer work he continues to do in his community, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better attorney in the Johnson City area.

PREPARE WILL, & POWER OF ATTORNEY

HE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I WANTED IN MY WILL AND MADE HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS AND PREPARED THE WILL ACCORDINGLY. I WAS VERY SATISFIED.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Robbins in a business contract dispute matter.

Probate lawyer | Jun 15

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
