Client Reviews (Part 4)

I cannot express enough my gratitude to Michael Robinson and his staff for the outcome of my case. The case ended up in trial and we won on all the charges! The outcome was better than what I expected for. I did extensive research and interviewed a number of lawyers in the Fairfax, VA area before deciding to go with Mr. Robinson. From the start Mr. Robinson and his staff were personable and professional. They were always accommodating, supportive and extremely responsive to all my concerns and questions throughout the process. I would not have achieved such great outcome without Mr. Robinson’s experience and expertise. His strategy to argue the case was something I would not have known myself nor did any of the other lawyers I met with had identified. I was also extremely impress with how he handled himself during the trial; there is no doubt that he was in his element and extremely great at it. For any legal matters, I highly recommend Michael Robinson. Deciding to hire him was the best choice I made for my case.

Michael was a real understanding straight forward lawyer he sat down with me I explained everything that had happened. He didn’t hesitate how how we would handle the day of the court he was already in his game plan. Thankfully that he came through other lawyers told me I had to get a charge and the day of the trial I just got a slap on the wrist and carried on with my life. I would highly recommend him as you lawyer to bad that the stars only go to five because he surpassed my expectations and requirements.

Although I didn’t hire Mr. Robinson, I sometimes wish I had. I was a wreck after getting my first DUI, and the only solace I had for a few days was the initial phone conversation I had with Michael. You can’t go wrong with Mr. Robinson and I would 100% recommend him if you are looking for a DUI lawyer who treats you like a person and not another case file.

I was thrilled with Michael’s legal services. I had a tricky situation and Michael worked diligently to get a positive outcome on the charge and the fine. He is also just a great guy to work with. I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Robinsons communicating and understanding thoughout my entire case was phenomenal! At the time I was 20 years old and one month away from turning 21. He broke everything down to me so that I fully understood what he was trying to do for me and in the end he got my charge reduced to a “baby DUI” which means I got charged with a BAC level between .02 and .08. I highly recommend Mr. Robinson to anyone who’s charge is extreme or minor because I have faith that he will help you out they way he helped me.

Sincerely,
Nathan

I was arrested back in February for DWI. I had an extremely high BAC of .17 which is well over the legal limit. I was incredibly scared knowing that I was facing jail time, and possibly worse. I called Mr.Robinson 2 days after my arrest and he calmed me down and explained the situation to me and told me he would do his best for me. Virginia is known for having some of the strictest dui/DWI laws in the country so I wasn’t very hopeful. Mr.Robinson made no promises but the outcome was a lot better than I expected. On my first hearing he asked for a continuance which bought me enough time to do community service hours, pre-enroll in asap, and get good character references. I was able to show all of my achievements to the prosecutor who by the grace of Michael Robinson was able to keep me from serving jail time. He knows what he is doing and he is very informative. He kept me posted and even gave me his personal cellphone number so I could reach him outside of business hours. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in this type of situation.

Thank you for all support of my issue. I have sufficient about the outcome. I think your recommendation and negotiation was very efficient. So that is why I can get that result. Thanks again.

Michael was very straight forward with my case and did not tell me what he didn’t think was possible.

DUI & refusal charges back in June or July of 2015…also had other complications addition to my DUI & refusal… therefore; I did not expect anything other then one year suspension of my license with DUI record. But was hoping for the better, and is the exact reason why you hire a lawyer to represent you.

I did not take the Plea bargaining from the prosecutor, which did not change over the times of our continuance. We did go to trial without plea bargain… and Michael Robinson did his best to argue the case for all my charges to be drop.

Our motion was granted by the judge and my case was dismissed. My DUI & Refusal and everything else was drop….. !!! He has been a such blessing to me… !!!

Will not make the same mistake again driving with few to much wine from dinner… but if any one is in need for the DUI & Refusal lawyer in town… Michael Robinson is the one you should hire for your case.

This was one of the most troubling events I have ever experienced. I was falsey accused by a Giant “low price”retail store of Petit Larceny due to being distracted at the register becuase I had my two children with me who were fighting over a snack. As a result I did not pay for two items as intended when checking out. I was shocked that I forgot to point out the items to the cashier that my children had in their possession. I tried to no avail to explain and apologize for my mistake, but the loss prevention officers showed zero concern or any compassion. They were cold and almost in humane. My children were held in a small room with me and I could not even take my todller to the bathroom while I was being told that the manager was coming to collect the payment for the missed items.

Eventually a police offer arrived, to my amazement to give me summons to appear in court. I was so overwhelmed and could not understand how this could happen from a simple human mistake.

I contacted several attorneys, but after reading Michael’s Bio and experience on line I felt that he was the right fit for me. I decided to meet him for clarification and confirmation. The appointment was very easy and flexible and he proved to be everything I needed and wanted for my defense.

He fought fiercely for me and won my dignity back from being subjected to the injustices inflicted by this mammoth retail corporation. The case was dismissed and much like David Michael proved to be a Giant slayer!!!

Thanks Mike…you are truly amazing.

My family and I hired Michael the day after I was arrested for petit larceny. Of all the lawyers I spoke with, Michael was the only one who was very sincere. He listened carefully to what I have to say and reassured me and my family that we are all in good hands. I have never had any encounter with the law before so I was very scared and nervous. However, every single time I get in touch with Michael, he always makes sure that I will be okay. On my very first court appearance, Michael was able to get my case dismissed. Michael is an excellent lawyer and I definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of someone who will be on their side to listen and assist them with their legal issues. I cannot thank Michael and his paralegal, Suzi for all their help.

Michael is very knowledgeable in his field of work and provided me with the utmost comfort that i had selected the right person for representation. Michael was able to explain exactly what the prosecutor’s were looking for and pinpoint the strengths in my case. He also gave descriptive detail of how he was going to handle my case and provided complete honesty on where we stood for my case. Highly recommended and gives his clients a great sense of security during a very stressful time.

I was charged with DUI and refusal in september. this was my first DUI in 7 years of driving and wanted to keep it clean forever and you know DUI stays on record for three years and hard to find jobs. I started searching for a attorney who handles DUI cases on regular basis that is how i came across Michael. During my first initial consultation he advised me that you have a strong case. I felt that he was the right man for this job so i hired him. After 3 court appearances prosecutors dropped refusal and DUI to reckless without going to trial. It was a win for me. The best attorney around.

Michael was straight up and made me feel confident the whole way through and assured me he would be able to get my possession of marijuana dismissed and he did ! I am a college student and I just knew this charge would be in the way of my future but because of Michael it’s not ! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Michael Robinson fought for me and my friend in mutual marijuana possession charges in December of 2015. He came prepared to win and he did exactly that. We got the case completely dismissed and he didn’t back down when they asked for another continuance. He made my friend and I know that we were in good hands and explained everything to us very thoroughly. I highly recommend Michael Robinson!

Michael Robinson is an articulate, courteous lawyer who is easily accessible via phone and/or in person. In our case, he made no promises and seemed to take his time preparing for the case. However, his result was outstanding. We were extremely pleased with his representation in court. He was thoughtful, very knowledgeable, and patiently explained the issues involved in both the prosecution and defense of the case.

I was arrested for DUI on a Friday night. After I got home I researched and contacted several lawyers via their websites. Michael contacted my by phone the next day. I had several phone consultations with other lawyers in the area but none gave me the confidence that Michael did that all is not lost. He was not the least expensive attorney but he is worth the money. He was able to plea bargain my DUI to Reckless Driving and I was not given a suspended license. Michael is a very good attorney. I recommend him highly.

Got DUI/DWI/failure to stop at traffic sign at the Pentagon. Mr. Robinson was able to dismiss charges and amended my DUI to reckless before trial. He is very compassionate, a great person.

I consulted an immigration attorney trying to figure out if that would affect my naturalization and he was very impressed that Mr. Robinson got me that deal in federal court.

The truth to be told, in such circumstances you doubt your every decision and you are always hesitant of the what ifs, my advice is trust him he knows! and yes, definitely I highly recommend Mr. Michael Robinson!

I just left from FF. court house.

My case has been dismissed against driving under revoked license and using false ID.

Mr. Robinson is very straight on his focus and prepare well for trial. As beginning of with his meeting, he didn’t even want me to think loosing a case. Because I was in probation.

You can count on him as your thoughtful lawyer.

Contact him, he will help you.

Mr. Michael Robinson is the ideal attorney for criminal and traffic cases. From the very first phone calls to the sit down consultation to the end result, he helped me through everything, literally step by step. I was charged w possession of MJ and was endlessly researching reasonable lawyers around the Northern VA area. I came across his profile through this very site and called him about a week prior to my court date. He was able to help me tremendously and got my case dismissed on the very first court date! He is extremely knowledgable and is not afraid to fight for you. He cares about his clients and is not just about the money like most attorneys. He really took into consideration of my future as it was in jeapordy. I cannot thank him enough. Look no further people.

I hired Michael to help my son who did receive a DUI in Fairfax. After speaking to several attorneys, he was the most knowledgeable as well as responsive to any questions I did have. He did get the charges reduced to Reckless Driving from DUI. Mr. Robinson and his staff are excellent and were always available to answer any questions. Do yourself a favor and hire Michael Robinson.

I would highly recommend Attorney Michael Andrew Robinson. He understood my case very quickly and the day of my hearing all my charges were dismissed.

Thank you!

Mr. Robinson is an phenomenal attorney sent to me by God. I could never thank him enough. I was facing a petite larceny charge. I’m also on probation for a prior petite larceny and drug possession / prescription fraud charges which all took place within a year. Not only did he take my best interests at heart but also had the case dismissed. I also got cures with driving on a revoked license which was reduced to a lesser crime. I was facing two additional probation violations apart from already having a probation violation. If I was convicted of the most recent charges, I would be facing a second and third violation. I was facing a possible prison time of 4-10 years. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. If anyone is facing criminal charges or jail time, Mr. Robinson is your answer.

Attorney Micheal Robinson knows what he’s doing and always tries to get the best possible and legally correct outcome of his clients situation. He keeps things simple and never complicates his clients situation by suggesting the impossible. I was arrested on DWI charge with 0.07 BAC but It’s on 6/6/2016, I have got the second chance and have the DWI reduced to Reckless Driving with some terms and conditions. Thanks Mr. Robinson. I could assure that I will not repeat the same mistake and will not take chances against it the second time, ever.

Michael went to all extremes to help me get out of a DUI where I blew a .11 at the station. This was my first offense. He was super responsive to my needs and questions at any time. I had a difficult case as there were multiple reason the officer stopped me. He had to pull some strings but got my DUI dropped to a reckless. I would not go anywhere else for a lawyer. He know his stuff!!!

Mr. Robinson is an outstanding professional and an excellent attorney. He recommended to appeal my DWI case and I was acquitted.

My son had never been in trouble before and was arrested and charged with a DWI. This was a very hard time for my son and I. Being a single mom, it also took a financial as well as an emotional toll on me and my family. I didn’t know what was going to what to my son. He had his future ahead of him, graduating from college and seeking employment. Depending on how his case went would depend my son’s future. Attorney Robinson was great, he was straight forward with my son and I, which I appreciated. Because I lived away, I would communicate with him through text and e-mail and he would always respond back. My son’s case was not as bad as it could have been at all. Because of Attorney Robinson , my son was given a second chance. I would recommend Attorney Robinson to my friends and family members.

Michael is knowledgeable and knows the system and the players and they know him. He is well know in the Fairfax legal system and well respected.

Michael is the consummate attorney. He is totally open and honest. He understands the Law and has a good working relationship with many prosecutors. He under promises and over delivers. He is calming yet candid and his results are right on target or beyond. I would use him again without hesitation and I would recommend him without reservation.

It’s been a little over a week and I’m still stunned at the “not guilty” judgement. I was charged with DUI and the evidence wasn’t exactly In my favor. Somehow, Mr. Robinson worked his magic and saved me from having a crimal record. A “thank you” and a recommendation are not nearly enough for what he did for me. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation don’t bother calling anyone else. He is amazing!!!!

It took me weeks to find someone I could hire to represent me for a possession of marijuana charge. I had to get the charges completely dismissed for personal reasons. However, every attorney I presented my situation to just said it would be easier to plead guilty and do the program the court would require me to do since I had no criminal record. When I met with Mr.Robinson and explained my situation he walked me through what my options were and what he could do for me. It took a couple months. However, he kept me in the loop on what was going on and was able to deliver what he committed to. I have nothing but compliments for him and his firm. Including his assistant Suzi who would answer my calls/texts.

Attorney Robinson and his staff did a fantastic job of helping me through a very tough time. I had never been accused of a crime before and I did not know what to do or where to turn. If I had ended up with a criminal record, my family and professional life would’ve been over. Attorney Robinson was sympathetic and treated me with respect and kindness. His cellphone was always available for questions and concerns. He got me an INCREDIBLE result by reducing my felony to a misdemeanor. My family and I are so grateful we found him. Following the court judgment, I decided to select him again, this time for conviction expungement. I highly recommend him.

My case was about five minutes away from being ruled against me, and somehow Michael pulled a rabbit out of the hat and all charges were dropped. I would highly recommend his ability to think on his feet.

- Bryan (5 star review)

Well, I got arrested and charged with DUI/DWI. This was the first time I was facing law. I was so stressed out and imagined all worst possible outcomes (which scared a hell out of me). Being a non-citizen of United States, it was a big deal for me.

I talked to couple of other lawyers but was still searching…..

Finally, I met Mr. Robinson and explained my case to him. I didn’t know what will be the outcome of my case but when i walked out of his office, I was stress free, relaxed and was 100% sure that he will pull me out of DUI charge. I was impressed by his knowledge and experience. He explained me each and every aspect and the details he provided me was really professional and recommendable. I am an IT professional and can relate to him how professional and experienced attorney he is. In person, he is a genuine individual who always give you a sense of support and he assured me that I will be okay. So, at the end, my DUI charges were dropped and got reduced to reckless driving with minimal fine and driving restrictions for few months.

I will Highly recommend Mr. Robinson to anyone who is looking for a great attorney to represent him/her case.

THANK YOU Mr. Robinson for representing my case. Really appreciate it.

- B.R. (5 star review)

I presented the very challenging set of facts associated with my arrest to a number of highly rated Northern VA DUI attorneys and the majority of them saw my case as a lost cause. Michael looked at the facts and circumstances of the incident and immediately began to formulate a strategy to both attack the evidence and humanize me as a defendant. In the end, it was Michael’s skill as an attorney and relationship with both the prosecutor’s office and the Fairfax County Police Department that resulted in a reduction of charges and me avoiding a jail sentence.

Michael’s rates were more than reasonable given the quality of his legal advice and his skills in the courtroom. His personal commitment to my case was much more than I could have hoped for and made a difficult process much less painful than it otherwise could have been. While I hope to never need Michael’s services again I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to hire a DUI attorney.

I was doubtful about my case until I spoke with Michael. He was very knowledgeable and thorough and knew exactly what to ask and what kind of information to gather in order to turn my case around and make it to be advantageous for me.

First, a DUI, which is second time. Then an accident with open containers in the car.

Who would have thought anyone would be capable of dismissing or reducing? Sure enough, Michael reduced my DUI to a reckless with minimal cost and charges.

This shows how competent he is as a lawyer. He presents himself very well, confident and knowledgeable and trust worthy!

Another big thank you for making an impossible possible!

From the beginning, my experience with Michael and his staff was Best-in-Class. Administratively, his staff was knowledge and patient in helping me through the intricacies of retaining legal representation.

Michael’s thorough understanding and complete focus on my situation was far better than I could have possibly hoped and I walked away from the process extremely satisfied and impressed with the results. If you require representation in any of his areas of legal expertise, look no farther!

When I was charged with DWI (first offense) and refusal (first offense), I thought my life was over. Fortunately, after consulting with several attorneys, I saw Michael’s profile on AVVO. I ended up reading all of his reviews and was impressed by the results that he was able to obtain with similar DWI cases. He was confident and realistic on the phone, so I retained him shortly after the consult. Going through this was a scary time, but I felt good knowing that Michael is experienced with these cases. Upon reviewing the video evidence, he gave me some advice on how to set up my personal affairs prior to the trial, and what kind of result to expect. We agreed on goals for the outcome, and a game plan if it did not go our way. I should add that he was able to accommodate my availability, and spent time with me outside of normal office hours (both on the phone and in person).

On the date of the trial, the only thing the prosecutor was offering was a plea to the DWI and dropping the refusal charge. As we had discussed, we did not accept this and went to trial. Plan A was to make an argument that could get both charges dismissed, Plan B was to appeal it if the argument was not accepted. Fortunately, by citing previous cases and their outcomes, he was able to win the case for me, and both charges were dropped. I honestly couldn’t be happier, it’s a huge weight off my shoulders. I am really glad I retained Michael Robinson, and you should do the same!

On National Margarita Day of 2017 I joined some friends to celebrate after work. I drove home, I got pulled for speeding, I performed field sobriety tests, and PBT, and was arrested and charged. I was terrified, and had to wait 6 months for the trial date. Michael made no promises, and all that I envisioned in my future was a criminal offense which would haunt my record for years. He had a plan but, again, he made no promises it would work. On August 1st, 2017, I was found not guilty of DUI. A burden has been lifted off of my shoulders and I can breathe again. I cannot thank Mr. Robinson enough! His knowledge of the law is impeccable, and he has such a calm, professional demeanor. I am appealing the reckless driving charge.

I drove home today. No suspension. No restrictions.

Look no further. Choose Michael Robinson!

I was charged with a DUI/DWI 1st offense and Refusal to blow on 1st offense which would have changed the direction of my life and my career.

I did extensive research on AVVO and after speaking with several lawyers, I decided to hire Mr. Robinson to represent me because he came across as very knowledgeable and confident. Once Mr. Robinson had the chance to see the evidence of the case, a video recorded by a body camera, he assured me my case was in good shape.

The day of trial the prosecutor offered a plea deal which consisted of dropping my Refusal charge in exchange for pleading guilty to my DUI/DWI offense, but I refused to accept the deal. The case went to trial, Mr. Robinson made it seem easier than it was, and both charges were dismissed.

The favorable outcome of my case was better than I expected and I can’t thank enough Mr. Robinson and his staff for putting my life back on track.

There is a reason why Michael is so highly rated on Avvo – he is truly outstanding. He puts his client’s interests before anything else and works tirelessly to ensure the best results for them. When Michael could not get an inexperienced and inflexible prosecutor to agree to a lesser charge, he immediately requested a retrial and waited until a more experienced prosecutor was assigned to my case. He then successfully negotiated a reduced charge that was satisfactory to both parties. Throughout the entire process, Michael never gave up and bent over backwards to ensure the best outcome. I have since hired him again to expunge the original charge.

Michael is polite, professional, highly knowledgeable, and responds quickly to texts, phone calls, and emails. His assistant, Suzi, is also great and they work well together as a team. Needless to say, I give Michael and his firm the highest recommendation.

I was charged for a DWI 1st. I have never committed a single crime in my life. I am 41 years old. Mr. Michael Robinson is a very professional. He never give a false promise but I have read one thing from his face After we watch the video together, he was confident enough that he would win the case. Case dismissed in 2 to 3 minutes hearing.

After doing much research on lawyers in the NOVA area, I decided to contact Robinson Law. I had been charged with possession of a controlled substance class 5 felony and two possession of controlled substance class 2 misdemeanors. It was the first time I had touched drugs in years and this relapse was my rock bottom. My girlfriend and I went to meet with Mr. Michael Robinson and knew right away that he would do a phenomenal job representing my case. We were about to leave his office and he asked my girlfriend, “do you have any questions or concerns?” to which she responded, “is he going to go to jail?” After several moments of silence he said “no- and I don’t say that lightly. I always like to be upfront with my clients and I really think we can fight this but you have to show that you want to be clean again. You aren’t a felon- you’re an addict who had a relapse and we need to show the court that you’re willing to do everything you can to get clean again and stay clean.”

He was helpful in recommending that I sign up for voluntary drug classes- which I did immediately along with proof of random clean drug screenings. My trial took 11 months because of drug labs and other obstacles– but Mr. Robinson was with me at all seven of my court dates. He was always very responsive via text, email, and phone calls when I had any questions. A week ago I had my final court date and because of the wonderful advice Mr. Robinson gave me along with his amazing knowledge and dedication– the two misdemeanors were dropped and the class 5 felony was reduced to a misdemeanor. My sentencing is six months of a restricted license. That is better than any outcome I could have hoped for. He was always encouraging and telling me that he was proud of me for staying clean and changing my life around. I never felt judged by him and could tell he was respected by everyone he talked to in the court house. I truly feel that Mr. Robinson cared about me as a person rather than just a client. I can’t recommend Robinson Law more– he helped me get my life back on track when I thought it was all going to crumble down, and I will forever be grateful.

Michael has represented me in DUI, Drunk in Public & Marijuana Possession cases. He is a masterful communicator who puts his clients first. He makes himself available, answers all questions, and provides a sense of relief and confidence that is much needed when coping with the legal process.

In addition to his compassion, he is a relentless defense attorney who explores every option to poke holes in the prosecution’s case. He has great relationships with judges, prosecutors, and police officers. He exudes professionalism in the court room, is extremely well spoken and carries himself with confidence all while maintaining the highest respect for the court. His colleagues notice this.

The combination of compassion, professionalism, and preparedness makes him a no-brainer when considering legal representation. I have avoided many convictions thanks to Mr. Robinson and give him my highest recommendation. There’s simply no one better to have in your corner than Michael Robinson.
