About John
Biography
John Robinson has been licensed to practice in Texas since 1991 and has had Board Certification in Criminal Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1998. His Board Certification is a mark of excellence and a distinguished accomplishment that only one in ten Texas attorneys attains. That Certification indicates that Mr. Robinson has substantial, relevant experience and has demonstrated the same in his representation of clients accused of committing crimes.
Mr. Robinson is relentlessly committed to the protection of the constitutional rights of every client. For that, Mr. Robinson is respected throughout Dallas County and surrounding Counties. His experience in preparation, negotiation, and the trial of criminal cases is unparalleled. With over twenty five years of experience throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Mr. Robinson has successfully defended hundreds of clients. His results include numerous dismissals and not guilty verdicts at trial.
Mr. Robinson firmly believes that every person accused of an offense should receive aggressive representation in their case from an attorney who understands both the law and the dynamics of the judicial system they are in. He believes that every person accused should completely understand their options and make an informed decision on resolving the case, whether that is through a jury trial or a plea bargain.
Protecting the client’s right to a speedy public trial by an impartial jury is his endpoint. He zealously defends every client against the charges brought against them, requiring the prosecution to meet their burden and prove every element of their case beyond a reasonable doubt. After all, all persons are presumed to be innocent, and the fact of a client’s arrest or indictment is not an inference of guilt.
Mr. Robinson has been a criminal defense attorney with Bailey & Galyen since January 1992. He was born in Dallas, Texas, and grew up in Mesquite, Texas. He graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1988 and received his law degree in 1991 from the University of Oklahoma, where he was a member of the Oklahoma Law Review. Mr. Robinson was licensed by the State Bar of Texas in 1991 and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas in 1994.
Mr. Robinson is located in the Bedford office. He is Managing Attorney for the Dallas and Tarrant County Criminal Law Division.

Great Attorney!
I hired John for a misdemeanor case in Dallas County. He is professional and made sure my rights were protected while being upfront and honest; a rarity among attorneys!

Hit and Run! Thanks for all you do, Mr. John W. Robinson and your special staff!
I had a Hit and Run a while back. I would recommend Mr. Robinson for any felony case since at the time I did not have an attorney and the court had appointed or told me to get ahold of Mr. Robinson which I did. Mr. Robinson handled all the court matters in a timely manner. If you ever encounter a...
