Robinson & Brandt
Criminal Defense Attorneys
The partners at the firm are Matt Robinson and Jeff Brandt. Nearly 25 years ago, we formed ROBINSON & BRANDT, PSC to seek justice for defendants and their families. Since the beginning, the attorneys at this firm have been dedicated to representing criminal defendants who have been wrongfully accused, wrongfully convicted, or wrongfully sentenced. Our unique approach to criminal defense has proved to be highly successful. If you would like to know more about our experience, please contact us. We are happy to provide you with information detailing many of our success stories.
Criminal Appeals
The criminal justice system is stacked against a citizen charged and convicted of a crime. The resources of the state and federal governments greatly exceed the resources of the individual defendant. Thus, the defendant must take every opportunity to challenge the government’s case and the legitimacy of the conviction in order to maximize the chance of obtaining justice.
Our Attorneys
What kind of an attorney does someone look for when charged with a crime or when the criminal justice system has already let them down? Probably someone who grew up with a passion for representing citizens who have been unjustly charged, wrongfully convicted or incorrectly sentenced.
Robinson & Brandt, PSC
Robinson & Brandt, P.S.C. is a national, full-service criminal defense law firm, practicing from coast to coast. For more than 25 years, we have represented individuals charged with serious crimes at the state and federal level. Our goal is to prevent or overturn wrongful convictions, and to prevent, overturn, or reduce incorrect sentences. You may have already heard about some of the victories this firm has produced over the years. Whether you need an attorney for trial, sentencing, appeal, or post- conviction representation, we have “been there before,” and we have obtained relief for our clients.
We are licensed in Ohio, Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court, all federal courts of appeals, and more than 40 federal district (trial) courts across the country. In courts where we are not licensed, we can represent defendants by complying with local rules for pro hac vice admission.

We’ll Fight for You
Whether you are facing criminal charges or you have already been convicted of a crime, we understand your life is on the line. It is incredibly important that you find an experienced attorney you can trust who can make the arguments necessary to defend your rights. Criminal defense is all we do. In fact, we created Robinson & Brandt, PSC, with the exclusive purpose of defending people who were wrongfully charged, wrongfully convicted, or wrongfully sentenced.
For those of you who were recently convicted, the direct appeal is typically the first and best option to correct errors in a criminal case. It is extremely important that your attorney is experienced in knowing what can be raised on appeal, what the appeals court will not hear on appeal, and which of the potential arguments for appeal are strongest. Our attorneys have more than 25 years experience successfully representing defendants on direct appeal.
We also have many years of experience in representing inmates in post-conviction actions who are fighting to prove their innocence, show that errors and injustice have occurred in their cases, or that their attorneys were ineffective. This could mean seeking a new trial, to have a guilty plea thrown out, or to obtain a new sentencing hearing and a shorter sentence. For more information about our firm representing you with state or federal post-conviction relief action, please see Post-Conviction Actions.
