Hired Attorney

Working with Attorney Robinson not only opened my eyes to how flawed the court system can be, but it also taught me the importance of silence, strategy, and fighting the right way. I’ve read a lot of negative reviews about him, and honestly, none of them reflected my experience. People often forget that attorneys handle many cases at once, spend a great deal of time in court, and—most importantly—are human. What mattered to me is that when it counted, he showed up and fought hard. I can confidently say I’ve never had a better attorney. Every motion he pressed was the right move, and his understanding of the law is exceptional. He doesn’t just know the law—he knows how to apply it effectively and set firm expectations. As far as communication, he will get back to you. Patience is key. Trust the process, and I promise you won’t regret hiring him. His prices are more than fair—in fact, I believe he could charge more. I’m grateful for what he charged me and for the outcome he fought fo

Hired Attorney

Absolutely recommend Attorney Robinson. He fought relentlessly for my best friend and ultimately kept her out of jail. He never gave up on her case and truly stood for justice every step of the way. Because of him, she’s free today—and still talks about how much she learned throughout the process. This experience showed her the importance of having a lawyer who truly knows the law, and Attorney Robinson is exactly that. If you’re fighting a case and looking for real advocacy, he’s the one you want in your corner.

Hired Attorney

We initially placed our full trust in attorney Thomas Sterling Robinson III, but we were deeply disappointed by his lack of effort. In a moment of desperation, we contacted him to help our daughter, who urgently needed legal representation. Miraculously, he answered our call on a Sunday, leading us to believe he was the answer to our prayers. However, our hopes quickly faded. He assured us he could help and secure our daughter’s release, but after we paid him $2,000, his commitment vanished. We had to plead with him to visit our daughter and hear her side of the story. He made a brief appearance at one hearing and then disappeared, showing complete indifference after receiving our payment. Communication with Thomas was virtually nonexistent. At the critical hearing, he failed to ensure our daughter’s presence (error #1), neglected to advocate on her behalf (error #2), and didn’t inform us promptly that the hearing went poorly (error #3). Despite these failures, he kept our $2,000.

Mr.Robinson Is an unprofessional lawyer. He take your money. Talk to you any kind of way. Lies about doing something he didn’t do. He even copied information with me & my husband personal information on their & when I asked why was it copied he said none of my business. I gave him the paperwork to send to my husband so he could sign but Mr.Robinson gave & sent him the copied ones. I never was late on a payment but yet he was rude unprofessional but when he wanted his payment he act right. Don’t waste your time or money. My husband has been sitting in Clayton county jail for 3 months now. The d.a reached out to me & said my husband has a public offender on his case but I paid Mr.Robinson 2 months before my husband got to Clayton County. He lied & said a bond motion was put in 2 months ago but the d.a reached out to my last Friday & said his attorney reached out to her 2 days ago & requesting for a bond which he stated he did 2 months ago. It hurt that I paid him & he played me.

I was retained to represent your husband on April 27, 2020. Due to the confidentiality of the process in which my firm and I worked on your husband’s case, I cannot discuss it here. However, I was successful in securing his freedom. God is my witness.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
