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.

Mr. Miller handled a business litigation case for my family. There was a lot on the line financially for us. Adam was professional in every way. He helped calm our fears about the lawsuit and would answer and return our phone calls immediately. He had a solid strategy and was victorious in the end. We had already come to terms with a certain amount of money we would be out, but in the end, we weren't out any money and Adam's fees were very reasonable.

We needed a real estate attorney to help us work ourselves through a fairly complicated real estate deal that involved a properties purchase, modifying the existing property lines to new locations, placing deed restrictions on the remaining land to be sold and finally, a sale of the residual property to our new neighbors. Alex was pretty much a best case scenario. He was enthusiastic, forward thinking and finally, very reasonable with his billings. We are completely satisfied with our dealings with him, and recommend him without hesitation.

I suffered a dog bite that could have ended much worse than it did and left me with a scar. I had no insurance at the time and ended up with costly ER bills. I contacted John as I had no idea how to handle this complicated situation on my own. From day one, John was empathetic and reassuring that he'd do his best to help find a proper resolution. From my experience, I can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients. He was always ready to answer calls and kept me up to date during very complicated times. We recently wrapped up the situation and he was able to reach a resolution that we were both comfortable with. I really can't recommend John enough. If you ever find yourself in such an unfavorable situation as I did, reach out to John.

My wife suffered a traumatic incident in which a neighbor's pit bull dog killed our dog while she was on a walk and pushing our 1 year old in a stroller. We later came to learn that the pit bull dog had attacked another family that same day causing serious injuries. It was truly a horrific time for us not knowing if or how we could ever recover from this event. With John's help, we were able to pursue and ultimately reach a settlement with the homeowner's insurance company for our loss and suffering. John also helped me get the word out to the community, joining me at a neighborhood meeting that was organized to address concerns with dog attacks in the area. John is a true professional. He knows the law and he understands the process by which matters such as ours are resolved. This was tremendously valuable to us. John is honest, diligent, and forthcoming with his opinions yet maintains a steady and remarkable composure when dealing with a case. I am truly grateful that we found John to help us out.
