It feels odd to brag about results or trial outcomes. Still, it is what clients care about and it is what they should care about. I have tried cases year in and year out for a long and successful career. I know that clients don't hire me to stand around and wait for the prosecutor to make an offer.
They hire me to work the case, get every concession I can force the prosecution to make, and then either try the case successfully or negotiate the best deal I can get for my client. In many cases, we know right from day one that this case is going to trial. I know I haven't been hired merely to represent the client to the best of my ability.

Criminal defense includes going to court, conducting a trial, examining witnesses, and speaking on behalf of a client in a courtroom where the accused and his lawyer may stand alone before a wall of intense media attention, public anger, and mistrust.
We sometimes hear frightened or angry members of the public question whether we can afford to keep alive the traditions of justice that began hundreds of years ago in England, in France, and in every part of the world where citizens decided that might never makes right, and that a fair and even-handed system of justice was the best guarantor of the personal liberty and prosperity of the ordinary individual and the best method of guaranteeing everyone's liberty and safety.

ATTORNEY NILA ROBINSON has a well-deserved reputation for providing aggressive, skilled defense to people accused of crimes. This sound reputation is the result of many years of committed work for people who find themselves accused of wrongdoing and faced with defending themselves against the power of the government.
Nila has tried complex cases throughout Wisconsin, representing clients on charges ranging from speeding to first degree homicide. She has been a lawyer in the Fox River Valley since 1981, when she graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School. She initially engaged in a general practice with an emphasis in criminal defense, family, and personal injury.
Achievement can be measured in different ways. For the person who sits down in my conference room, bursts into tears and tells me he or she "did it", even if they have no idea why they did it, success is not measured by having a tough lawyer who swaggers around and goes to trial when prudence dictates another course.
I get a large volume of calls from people who want to know in that first telephone call how much I am going to charge and what I think I can do. I am sorry but it is just irresponsible for me or any other lawyer to start calling out numbers and promises when I don't know anything about the case, what I would need to do or what expenses for experts or investigation I need to plan for.
