About

After exploring various roles ranging from technical support to sales, where he tackled challenges but didn’t quite discover his perfect match, Matthew Robinson opted to sit for the law school admissions exam merely two weeks following the arrival of his first child. He carries a fervent enthusiasm for resolving issues into his practice, assisting small business owners and individuals in need of support in fields like litigation, personal injury, real estate dealings, bankruptcy, debt restructuring, and collections.

There are numerous tales of attorneys failing to return calls, forgetting client names, showing indifference towards cases, and charging exorbitantly — practices that are unwelcome in the legal profession. Matthew is committed to being accessible to his clients and completing tasks promptly. A core value of the Law Office of Matthew Robinson is the importance of keeping promises made.

Matthew has extensive experience in litigation, having started out at a plaintiff’s medical negligence firm and then spending seven years at a prominent general practice firm in Geneva. He has achieved success in litigating cases before both judges and juries in state and bankruptcy courts, managed business conflicts both inside and outside the courtroom, effectively concluded transactions involving the sale of businesses and real estate, and witnessed the growth of businesses from their inception to becoming multi-million dollar enterprises.
