The Best!

After working with several other attorneys, and getting poor results, I was fortunate to find Matthew to assist me. My case was a post-divorce case, in which my former spouse was withholding alimony and child support from me and failing to follow the court orders in many other ways. Matthew... was detail-oriented and thorough, and was meticulous in documenting everything for the court filings. He handled all the misrepresentations from the other side with ease. At the hearing he did an excellent job laying out my case, and was adept at countering the opposing counsel. In short, we prevailed on all the issues we brought, and obtained a set of orders that will definitely help me avoid having to return to court in the future. Finally, success! I have had several attorneys throughout my divorce -- including some very expensive, high-powered ones from high-end law firms. Matthew is by far the best attorney I have worked with -- very empathetic, a good listener, extremely knowledgeable on the law, and excellent at both written and oral arguments. He was also very careful about the cost, and gave me advice that saved me on legal expenses. I wish I had found him at the beginning of my divorce!

Excellent attorney!

Matthew’s diligence, counseling ability, and skill in navigating Court turned what I’d expected to be the worst day of my life (as a firearm owning Respondent fighting a restraining order in family court) into a fond memory. His efforts resulted in a in a fine out-of-court settlement in my divorce c...ase. Reliable and dependable.

Get Matt involved your problem is solved

I thought my case had been bungled beyond redemption by my prior lawyer. A week before trial I went to Matt, who got up to speed quickly and won the case. Matt was thorough, conscientious, and smart. He is not out for your money, seems to really care about justice

Highly recommended for Immigration matters

We hired Mr. Robinson for an immigration matter to adjust status for my wife. While looking for lawyers many told us that she would not be able to get it due to a charge that happened a while ago. Many lawyers even refused to talk to us. Mr. Robinson had complete confidence that he can get this matte...r resolved and that there would be no issues regarding adjusting status for a permanent resident card. The whole process took roughly 3 months, he was very thorough. He kept us informed throughout the process, very diligent and detail oriented. He was also very flexible and would meet us after work, even coming in on a Saturday to accommodate. He had us review everything several times in order to catch small details that could have been problematic. He prepared us and accompanied us to the interview process, which was very intense. He brought all the documentation with him, and even corrected the officer a few times. The officer did not know that a certain law went into effect and Mr. Robinson was quick to explain and told him what to look up. My wife was approved one day after the interview. We are glad that we hired Mr. Robinson, he did a great job and I highly recommend his professionalism and most of all his knowledge regarding immigration law.
