David Robinson has built a wonderful firm that has represented my company over the past 12 years on many issues. More recently David himself had to step in on a particularly technical issue and he handled the situation masterfully. My partners and I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Mr. Robinson and his entire staff are very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with on our current cases. Mr. Robinson has personally kept our company informed updated as to the status of our cases. I would highly recommend Enterprise Council and their attorneys.

David represented my firm and I as plaintiffs in a couple cases involving corporate governance, fraud and fiduciary duty claims, in my capacity as a Board member of a private company. These matters were in dispute and litigated in 2011 and 2012. David is very quick in identifying and understanding the critical elements of a case, determining strategy and tactics to achieve the desired results, and in my view has unique talents at crafting persuasive, well written and well supported legal arguments and briefs. David believes in his clients, and is the proverbial bulldog when developing and presenting his client's case. I would highly recommend David in any matter involving disputes in the areas of corporate governance, fiduciary duty etc.

I first met and retained David A. Robinson of Enterprise Counsel Group in 2005 to represent my corporation in regard to a business dispute with a former associate/partner involving a multi-million dollar real estate joint venture. The latest Appeals Court decision successfully concluded a grueling 17-year legal battle, during which he very ably represented my company’s interests for the last 8 years. The case required depositions, motions, hearings, litigation and trials at various judicial levels, and numerous appeals, in multiple venues – California, Nevada, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin. In every instance, Mr. Robinson and his associates overwhelmingly destroyed the opposition! Although my former associate/partner (an attorney himself), and his many attorneys, systematically engaged in nefarious and disingenuous tactics and dealings, which were a stated blatant attempt to cripple my firm financially and devastate its spotless business reputation, Mr. Robinson has been remarkably conscientious and responsive in keeping me involved and informed of the progress of the case throughout the judicial process. With his vast litigation experience, Mr. Robinson has been able to design and lead with innovative approaches and trial strategies, which totally disarmed the other side. Having served as Judge Pro Tem himself, Mr. Robinson’s experience and professional contacts were invaluable. By way of example, the expert witness selected by Mr. Robinson had a tremendous effect on the Court, and the successful outcome of the matter. Additionally, Mr. Robinson looks at billing from a client’s perspective. With the support of other partners and junior attorneys, Mr. Robinson is able to utilize the client’s litigation budget in the most efficient and productive manner. In my particular case, Mr. Robinson was able to save my firm tens of thousands of dollars. I would highly recommend Mr. Robinson without reservation.

I have had the opportunity to work with David Robinson on multiple occasions. On the most recent case, Mr. Robinson helped my family collect an outstanding debt that was not paid to us for over three years. I can not think of another attorney that I would feel more confident to have in my corner. Mr. Robinson has a unique ability of instilling an overwhelming confidence and trust into his clients. Within moments of discussing my case, Mr. Robinson made me feel that I was a priority and he would take excellent care of me. That is exactly what he did! Mr. Robinson was always accessible and always willing to put my needs first. I strongly encourage any business or person to consider David Robinson. He is a brilliant attorney whose principles of integrity and loyalty are constantly shown.

I have absolute confidence in Mr. Robinson's legal skills. My manufacturing firm has benefited from his legal acumen on several occasions over the last twenty-plus years. In addition to providing outstanding, and successful, legal counsel vis-a-vis a merit-less lawsuit filed against our firm, Mr. Robinson has successfully handled intellectual property issues, corporate re-organization issues, and continues to provide general counsel to our firm on an on-going basis. Mr. Robinson demonstrates the keen ability to focus in on the key points of any legal matter we bring to his firm. He both outlines these key points clearly, for our benefit, and then prepares his strategy accordingly. During any on-going legal process he handles for our firm he continues to anticipate and identify the "unforeseen". Simply put, Mr. Robinson is always thinking several steps ahead. Additionally, on a personal level, my family has benefited from both Mr. Robinson and his law firm's applied knowledge of Estate Law. He handled successfully, on our behalf, two (2) separate Estate disputes, avoiding the unwanted costs and headaches of court trials in both instances. In the second instance, his command of Estate Law, coupled with his lengthy trial experience, allowed my wife to prevail during a court-ordered mediation. By the end of the one-half day mediation the opposing party capitulated on all points, including payment of my wife's legal fees. My understanding was, and still is, that court-ordered mediation hearings rarely result in settlements. My trust in Mr. Robinson's outstanding legal skills is unwavering.

I have worked with David and his team on various matters. He brings major firm experience to a smaller firm environment which translates into lower fees. He also brings a strong business knowledge to litigation matters and has the ability to simplify complex matters by breaking them down in easy to understand components. This skill has best been displayed while he is presenting a case before the "trier of fact". David is willing to level with his client and assist them in understanding the risks as well as opportunities in their case. If it is appropriate to settle a dispute he will tell you. If it is necessary to appeal a decision he will tell you and remain engaged through the final outcome. I recommend David in representations involving complex business and contract disputes!

I had loaned money ($300,000.00) to a friend for a few days without a promissory note. Loan was not returned for more than 2 months. He promised to transfer some assets to my name worth $375,000.00. He kept promising but did not transfer the assets nor did he return the money. Four years passed, he boasted to one of our mutual friend that he was not going to pay me the money as statue has passed. I was very upset and angry and decided to take legal action. I was recommended David Allen Robinson's Firm. This firm did a wonderful job . Couple of efforts to demur my case were defeated and I am on track to recover my money. I am extremely happy and am very satisfied with the professionalism and the courteous service. I shall recommend this firm to my friends and family without any reservation.

David handled a very complicatied business breakup, involving numerous parties and constantly moving pieces, over several years of litigation. He won the case, and put an end to a long running legal battle, then won again on appeal. His attention to detail and prepartion for every hearing and the eventual trial was outstanding. David has a unique ability to simplfy a complicated matter and present it in such a way that anyone can understand it. His hard work showed and resulted in our winnign the case. David commanded the respect of the judge and the other attorneys in the case. The final outcome of the case saved millons of dollars for our companies. I highly recommend David and Enterprise Counsel Group.
