Other locations: In the federal district courts where Mr. Robinson is not licensed, our law firm is able to represent defendants by associating with local attorneys we have worked with in the past. Those attorneys are willing to charge reasonable, reduced fees because of our prior experience with them and they know that we will be responsible for the case and proceed as the lead counsel in the matter. The local, sponsoring attorney is not the lead attorney. In most cases, the local attorney sponsors our admission, assists in having documents filed, and appears in court if required. Our law firm makes the important decisions as to strategy, we conduct the research, we prepare the filings, and we direct in-court hearings, including conducting the examination and cross-examination of witnesses.
