About David L.
David L. Robbins built a career that moves between private practice and firm leadership. He has an academic background that includes studies at Juniata College in political science, a J.D. from the Appalachian School of Law and a B.A. in sociology from Pennsylvania State University. The dates recorded with those entries reflect his educational record as provided.
Robbins began practicing law shortly after completing his studies. He opened a solo practice in 2009 under the name David L. Robbins, Lawyer at Law. That early period gave him direct client contact and responsibility for case selection, document drafting and courtroom appearances. In 2014 he joined Herndon, Coleman, Brading & McKee, LLP as an associate attorney, returning to firm practice and team-based case work.
In 2017 Robbins moved to Brandt & Robbins, P.C., initially listed as an associate and later identified as a managing partner that same year. His roles at the firm have included supervision of staff and handling more complex matters that require coordination across practice areas. The move marked a transition from solo practice back into a collaborative firm environment and into firm management duties.
His professional memberships point to areas of long-standing interest. Robbins is a member of the Tennessee Bar Association and is listed with the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys’ Tennessee board. He also holds memberships in the Tennessee Land Title Association and the American Land Title Association, and he is associated with the Academy of Special Needs Planners. Those affiliations place him at the intersection of elder law, special needs planning and title-related work.
Practically, his work combines estate and elder law planning with matters involving land titles and real property documentation. He has handled probate and trust administration and advised clients on planning for long-term care needs and special-needs beneficiaries. His background in both solo and firm settings informs how he approaches client intake and case management.
Colleagues describe him as someone comfortable switching between detailed transactional work and the procedural tasks of litigation or estate administration. He practices in Tennessee and maintains active participation in professional organizations relevant to elder law and title services. Today he serves as a managing partner at Brandt & Robbins, P.C., where his practice centers on elder law, special needs planning, estate matters and title-related services.
