Fighting for the Rights of the Injured
"No one expects their life will be suddenly and permanently changed as a result of a sudden, tragic event. Because wrongdoers give no advance warning of their careless behavior, even safety-minded people are not always able to avoid injury. Wherever tragedy occurs, it leaves its permanent scars on people's lives and turns their world upside down.
That's why I go to work every day: to provide you and other injury victims and their families the essential information and compassionate legal help which will enable you all to maximize your efforts to rebuild your lives." ~Jeff Robinette

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2019-2021Jeff Robinette and his team at the Robinette Legal Group, PLLC represented my daughter for a car accident claim. She was the passenger in a car and sustained a head injury requiring surgery. Mr. Robinette was able to gain full insurance policy limits for her injuries. Her medical bills were fully paid and she received justice for the pain and suffering that she had to go through. We were completely satisfied with Jeff Robinette's representation. He is kind, understanding, and easy to work with. I highly recommend the Robinette Legal Group for personal injury cases and car accident claims.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2016The Easy Way or the Hard Way This question was presented by Mr. Jeff Robinette when retained to represent us, to an attorney who we believed committed legal malpractice. We asked Mr. Robinette to review our situation, then represent us which he agreed to do. From our experience, attorneys who are willing to do possible legal malpractice are fairly rare. Apparently it is not enjoyable to confront a fellow attorney who may have committed legal malpractice. Mr. Jeff Robinette met with our former attorney. Mr. Robinette gave him a choice to go the Easy Way which was a verbal, then written agreement stating everything the former attorney would need to do to make us whole. The other option, the Hard Way, would have taken the previous attorney through the legal system. Apparently the former attorney was aware of Mr. Robinette's knowledge and court skills, therefore he made the decision that the Hard Way was not wise. In our relationship with Mr. Robinette, we felt that we were his only client. Communication was excellent, often receiving returning emails or phone calls in minutes or not longer than a day. This was most reassuring. At all times, Mr. Robinette gave us council, options, followed by wise recommendations as to the best course of action. Mr. Jeff Robinette brought our situation to a most successful conclusion. We could not have had an attorney to represent us in a more professional, helpful, caring manner. We had never physically met Mr. Robinette. All communications were emails or phone calls. We were in Florida, he was in West Virginia. After the case was concluded, our family was vacationing about 50 miles from Morgantown, WV. Jeff, wife Terri, two daughters, and newly acquired puppy can to visit us. How personal can an attorney possible be? What a nice time we spent together. We fully and completely endorse Mr. Jeff Robinette as an attorney in his several fields of expertise!
