Experience
David Robinson has been in practice for over 21 years, with police experience both in the
field and in practice extending over 30 years.
In the past, David has held seats on the executive board of the Michigan Trial Lawyers
Association and the National Lawyers Guild. David has served as a lecturer on the
subject of police misconduct for seminars for various organizations and has appeared for
Birmingham Public Cable television for a discussion of litigating plaintiff cases in the
area of police misconduct. A tape of this broadcast is available.
David has litigated in the area of police misconduct for both defense and plaintiffs. He has
taken, to settlement or verdict, hundreds of police misconduct matters involving the
gamut of wrongful arrests to wrongful deaths at the hands of police officers. He has
litigated cases in federal court and circuit courts in the tri-county areas. David has
associated the Johnny Cochran, Barry Scheck, and Peter Neufeld (of O.J. Simpson fame),
in the wrongful conviction case of Eddie Joe Lloyd, which resulted in a settlement of
$4,000,000.00. This case also resulted i an agreement whereby the City of Detroit
conceded that all interrogations and interviews of suspects in serious offenses will be
recorded
David has obtained settlements and judgments in the millions of dollars in police chase
cases, accident cases and other police shooting cases not resulting in death. In addition,
David has litigated cases involving the death of pre-trial detainees in Detroit jails which
resulted in six and seven figure settlements. The Detroit Jailhouse litigation was
instrumental in the closure of the 8th and 9th floors of the DPD lockups.
David has also represented citizens who were wrongfully held as witnesses by DPD
homicide. Theses cases were brought under federal civil rights statutes and demonstrated
the abject failure of the DPD homicide section to honor the Constitutional rights of
Detroit citizens. These cases have resulted in settlements; the most egregious among
them was won that involved the wrongful arrest and detention of more than 40 citizens in
the investigation of a single homicide.
