John Patrick Robbins

I hired John in my child custody case. Paid this man thousands of dollars just to keep a continuance on our court dates. He took my money and done absolutely nothing to help me whatsoever! The last time I paid him, he kept telling me “If you pay X amount, will will get you another court date set up a...nd we will try to end this thing.” So I pay him $2,000 in January just for him to ignore me for months! Finally, April rolls around and he sends me a text saying that he can no longer handle my case that he is having to move and he while line of excuses. Turns out, he had been disbarred SINCE NOVEMBER of the previous year!! I reached out to him multiple times for a refund just to be ignored! I usually do not like to leave bad reviews for any person or business but hopefully enough people will see this and reconsider before hiring this man! A few years have passed and my situation turned out okay but if the MS Bar allows this man to return, DO NOT HIRE HIM! Literally anyone else will do a much better job!

As with the other reviews im reading he talked a good no a great game . He promised to do this that and even put my ex in court for contempt. He was supposed to be sure it wasn't scheduled for the town it was originally set in bc people had obviously been paid off , that didn't happen. I had to pay h...im $1500 before he would lift a finger on my case which im sure a lot of u know is a lil difficult for a single mom to come up with but i did. Then the same day i paid him his $1500 he said he had to have another $150 to file some kinda paper with the court. And all the summons I HAD TO DELIVER MYSELF HE COULDNT EVEN BOTHER TO DO THAT. Then mever hear from him again til day before court when he reassured me about everything and il be danged if he didn't show up at court the next day and do or give the opposing lawyer everything they wanted i mean even what he promised me he wouldn't. So needless to say instill dont have my daughter or visitation with her and I haven't heard feom him in a year and a half since court. He might have done $4-500 dollars worth of work and im being VERY GENEROUS THERE! I got an idea why don't all of us he completely and totally screwed all get together and tell the state board what hes done and report him to anyone and everyone we possibly can til he either rectifies the situation or at the very least is disbarred or run out of the profession all together. He is a joke and a scam ! I literally had better luck in court when i represented myself! Also he only got 1 star bc u have to pick one and they dont have to option of 0 stars or negative starts!

This man talked a good game but has done nothing he has been paid in full $2500 of money I didn’t have already struggling and he just took the money and hasn’t been in contact he ignored me for 3 days until the day before court date then text back that the court date had been moved to the next month ...then blocked my number do not recommend for anyone

I hired John to represent me in a youth court matter, and subsequent custody case. He did alright in the former, but became difficult to contact as matters progressed and he was up against tougher opponents. Eventually he never returned calls, and I let the matter go as I had already paid him all the... funds I could afford at the time, and couldn't retain the services of another more qualified attorney.
