NACDA Names Robinson to “TOP 10”

For the third year in a row, Attorney Leslie “Les” Robinson has been selected as a recipient of the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys’ TOP 10 for the state of North Carolina. The National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys (NACDA) reviews more than one million attorneys across the United States to bestow the most prestigious honor by the state to only 10 attorneys. These attorneys are selected because they demonstrate a great deal of knowledge, skill, experience, expertise and success in their practice of criminal defense.

Established in 2013, the NACDA has a stringent selection process that includes an analysis of each attorney’s efforts and achievements. To be considered for the award, attorneys must be nominated by a licensed practicing attorney or an NACDA research staff member. Then, the Selection Committee presents 50 of the best criminal defense attorneys in each state to be reviewed by the Board of Governors who make the final top 10 selections.

Recognition from NACDA is a great distinction for Mr. Robinson. “I am honored to have been once again selected by NACDA as one of the TOP 10 attorney’s in North Carolina,” noted Robinson. “To be held in high esteem by one’s peers is very humbling and a recognition I will continuously strive to accomplish.”
