No communication, and no direction. Very apperant that she hasn’t been on her own long.

Terrible communication, way more reactive than proactive. She took on my case 1 year ago, and the only responses I can get are...”nothing new yet.” On a good note, Jennifer is very personable, and extremely knowledgeable. Just because I feel she was not optimal for my specific needs, doesn’t mean she... isn’t perfect for yours.

Professional and objective

Jennifer handled my DUII case, attended the administrative hearing on my behalf, and was keen enough to find a technical error in the procedures that resulted in a judgement in favor of not suspending my drivers license. While handling the case, Jennifer demonstrated high professionalism, objectivity... and knowledge in the subject matter, I highly recommend her.

Jennifer Robins is Outstanding

Jennifer Robins handled my defense in two separate cases. In both cases I was concerned about the process, my possible consequences legally, and in both cases she was very clear about what the possible penalties might be, and still reassuring. I had many questions and she would respond to me, someti...mes within minutes, but never more than hours. Her work in court has been impeccable and I have felt I could trust her every step of the way.
