Criminal Defense (Federal and State) and DUI Law Firm

My name is Laura Robinson and I am a very experienced, highly successful criminal defense attorney. I have represented clients in more than 1,000 felony cases. I have tried over 75 jury trials with excellent results. In addition to my trial work, I have litigated state appeals.

For over 13 years, I worked as a public defender in Contra Costa County, where I was assigned serious and violent felonies. I have handled many high profile cases, including murder, rape and kidnapping. I was also involved with the training of other attorneys. In 2004, I opened up my own private practice in Oakland. I am a member of the Alameda County Bar Association.

I am dedicated to representing my clients as aggressively and effectively as possible. As a public defender, I had the reputation of a fighter who will pursue all legal means to provide the best defense possible. My reputation is among the most respected criminal defense attorneys in the area.

If you want straight and honest answers, please feel free to call. Beware of lawyers who claim they could guarantee victory, because there are no guarantees in life. However, It is crucial to select the best lawyer for you and your case.

I am available to appear anywhere in the state of California.
