Public Service Runs Deep

For the Robinson family, serving Nashville isn’t new, it’s tradition. Michael’s great-grandfather, Garner Robinson, fed families during the Great Depression. His grandfather, Judge Gale Robinson, helped create Night Court to make justice accessible 24/7. His father, Judge Gale B. Robinson, founded Nashville’s Domestic Violence Court, changing how our city protects victims.

Now, Michael continues that legacy of fairness and compassion for every Nashvillian.
