Best Lawyer in Los Angeles for DUI cases. Saved me from prison time and from getting a suspended license.

Craig Robinson was amazing. I couldn't ask for a better attorney to represent me in my DUI case. His were very knowledgeable, forthright, and extremely understanding of my case. After receiving a DUI, I was very scared of the consequences. The timing for this was horrible since I’d gotten a new job ...and was supporting my family. I am a full time scholar, and I work full time. I was getting married in a week. Craig from Robinson law offices helped me become proactive during my own case, letting me recognize what the court process could do for me, and how I could stay one step ahead of the game. In the end our DUI was changed to reckless driving instead of a DUI which was my best option. I received the mark on my record. I started attending a 12 month driving program once every 3 weeks. Much better than a suspended license, half a year in jail, and a good alcohol related charge on my record. Those consequences would have ruined my entire life and everything I’m living for right now. Thank you to Craig from Robinson Law Office. A lesson was learned in my opinion, and I am so thankful I went though it with this office. Best law office in Los Angeles.

Craig and Fred worked on my case. Good Traffic lawyers in Van Buys

This office helped me battle some speeding tickets. My spouse and I received both 2 traffic violations. It was a not complicated and easy, inexpensive process having a great result. They were really kind and Larry the office manager would always keep me up to date on my situation when the lawyers wer...e not in the office.

Craig from Robinson got my case dismissed. Best criminal lawyer in LA

Mr. Robinson saved me from doing serious prison time. So here’s what happened, I was pulled over for running a red light, and the police officer smelled marijuana coming from inside my car. He told me to step out of my vehicle and proceeded to check my car, and found cannabis, cocaine, and marijuana ...inside my trunk and back seat, and I was subsequently arrested afterwards. Once arrested I was referred to Craig at Robinson law office and from there on he’d being working on my case. Mr. Robinson and I were in the battle against the DA office for about 4 months , Mr. Robinson managed to have my case dismissed based on a legal technicality, and I couldn’t have been more happier because nothing got to go on my record, kept my job, license and no prison time. I now know to go to Craig in van nuys.

Craig Robinson resolved me DUI case, finally found the right attorney. Craig is worth every penny.

I new I had to change lawyers, that's when I got referred Craig by another friend. The first time I went to Craig's office he told me straight up what he was gonna do, my goodness he did more in one day than the other lawyer did in 3 years. He never promised me nothing but he did promise to do the be...st he could and that's just what Craig did. It's amazing how he knows every step and the process is so easy with him, when you go to court you feel respected by everyone there. It's like going to the derby with the winning horse. The first lawyer , im not mentioning his name, was the horse with the broken leg, he drove me so crazy, he kept postponing the case for 3 to 4 years, he would then tell me you know I tried to cut a deal with the DA but they don't want to negotiate with me. I was getting desperate, I didn't want to lose my drivers license and have problems crossing the border to come to the USA being from Mexico. Anyways to summarize this story Craig took 11 months to get me off my DUI. Everything he said he did it. For example get the arresting officers version, all evidence, transcripts and so on. Craig did more action than talk. The final day in court was actually relax and straight forward exactly like Craig had described it. Thank you again Craig your a true professional, honest, genuine and hard working. You were worth every penny.

Posted by Ramon S. | July 18, 2014 | Domestic Violence

Craig and Fred worked on my case. Excellent results. Couldn't be happier.

Talk about a great first time experience with an attorney. About two months ago, I was charged with domestic violence against my wife even though she instigated the conflict first. I tried pleading my case to the officers but they only listened to my wife, even though I presented some evidence that s...howed that she was clearly at fault. I had to do some research to find a credible and experienced attorney, and came across Craig Robinson. I was extremely worried about losing my job and potentially my future employment if I were to be convicted, because I had a clean record. After looking over my case and going through the evidence, Craig assured me that my insurance license will not be revoked and I can continue to work at my job and secure my future employment by having this case dismissed. Craig did an incredible job representing me at the small court hearings. He showed his expertise in the courtroom by being confident and knowledgeable in the area of domestic violence/spousal abuse. After a little follow up and some paper work, Craig got the case dismissed. Needless to say, I highly recommend Craig.
