Practice focus

Mr. Robinson concentrates on roadway negligence, faulty construction, commercial vehicle accidents, and motor vehicle accident cases for personal injury plaintiffs. His cases frequently involve road design defects, improper maintenance, and safety standard violations. In these areas, technical and engineering analysis determines liability.

Background

Mr. Robinson earned his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering Technology from Northwestern State University, then his Juris Doctor from the Southern University Law Center. His legal path is distinctive: after college, he worked for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development as an engineering technician, then returned to the DOTD as a law clerk while completing his legal education.

This engineering and DOTD background is load-bearing. Mr. Robinson reads accident reconstruction reports, road design specifications, and maintenance records the way an engineer does, not simply as a lawyer reviewing documents. As a former DOTD insider, he understands the state’s own standards for road safety. He recognizes when those standards are violated, and he knows how regulatory failures map to civil liability. This technical credibility distinguishes his approach to complex roadway, construction, and commercial vehicle negligence cases.
