Dog Bite

Jeff was compassionate, empathetic and very helpful during a horrific turn of events. He was very dedicated, and proactive at representing me. I would highly recommend Jeff for anyone needing representation, and unsure of who to trust, and turn to when in need.

Generous with his time, seems to really care

I had an issue that was very specific and very nuanced. Despite that fact, Mr. Robinette took the time to hear me out and give me the help I needed.

Binding contracts

I was in need of some legal advice over a contract for selling puppies. I am not a wealthy person and was In desperate need of legal advice and had called a few different attorneys around and left messages and never received a call back from any. So today I got on line and was praying I got ahold of ...someone today. I called one number and Jeffrey Robinette answered the phone himself and was more then willing to speak to me. I told him My situation and what my concerns were and that I definitely didn’t have lots of money to hire an attorney but I was scared of the unknown and what lied ahead for my family and I, if I didn’t get some advice or a lawyer for my situation. He was more then willing to talk to me for a good while and give me advice on my situation and great advice at that. I would recommend him to anyone and will from here on out to anyone I hear say needs an attorney. He never once made me feel as if I was anything but a paying client or that my situation was any less important to him. Knowing that he is an attorney that gets payed a lot of money an hour for his services I was a little nervous about even calling but he made me feel welcomed and helped me more then he will ever know . Even told me to call him back for any help and advice I may need anytime ! AMAZING MAN In my Eyes and will be the first name out of my mouth for a lawyer to anyone from here on out. Thank you so much .

Offered to Help When No One Else would

Jeff Robinette considered my case carefully, and put time and effort into understanding it, and explaining my options to me. He was willing to consult with me and give me expert legal advice in a way that was both understandable and straight forward. From his explanations, it was clear that he was ex...perienced with this type of case and and gave me realistic expectations. He showed compassion to me and my family.

Car accident

The insurance company only wanted to give me $200 which wouldn’t even compensate me for my medical bills and I went to Jeff Robinette and he was able to get me a fair settlement that covered my medical bills and the pain and suffering an inconvenience in my life

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
