Phillip RobinsonNASHVILLE, Tenn. – Governor Bill Haslam has named Phillip Robinson as judge of Third Circuit Court for the 20th Judicial District in Davidson County.
The 61-year-old replaces Barbara Haynes, who retired last year.
The Court will likely be designated a new family law court for Davidson County as Robinson spent 25 years of his 36-year legal career practicing exclusively domestic relations.
"I am honored to receive the appointment from Gov. Haslam, and I appreciate the opportunity to serve the people of Davidson County in the Third Circuit Court," Robinson said.
Robinson received his J.D. from the University of Tennessee College of Law and practiced and lives in Nashville, with his wife, Christy. He opened his own practice with associates in 2001.
He has numerous accomplishments including being a hearing panel member of the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Supreme Court of Tennessee and a fellow of the Nashville Bar Association, fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and is board certified as a family law trial advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.
