"The criminal lawyer to hire if your case is hopeless" — Washingtonian Magazine

At their worst, homicide charges mean you are looking at the death penalty or life in prison. You can't afford anything less than experienced, effective criminal defense lawyers on your side.

We provide aggressive defense representation for violent crimes such as:

  • Murder, homicide, manslaughter, all degrees
  • Aggravated assault, battery
  • Domestic assault
  • Child abuse
  • Sexual assault

Domestic violence charges are taken very seriously by prosecutors

For more than 30 years, Ken Robinson has been effectively defending people in the D.C. metro area, Maryland against charges of domestic assault. Under the leadership of Ken Robinson, our attorneys have the experience of many jury trials. We will not back down from any prosecutor who is trying to put you in prison.

Reasonable doubt and lack of criminal intent are part of our justice system

As experienced criminal defense lawyers, we know that there are many reasons people find themselves facing these charges for a violent crime. The important thing to remember is that you have a story, too. We make sure the judge and jury hear it clearly.

Our defense team is led by senior attorney Ken Robinson

Our attorneys are highly skilled at cross-examining witnesses and challenging other evidence, such as forensic evidence. We will work to cast doubt on the prosecution's evidence and version of events

We prepare each case intending to take it to trial. While we resolve criminal cases through plea negotiations whenever this is your best option, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial if that is what is necessary to get you the best possible result.
