Career in The Private Practice of Law
After serving as Mayor, Lee Robinson returned to the practice of law in Macon as a sole practitioner for a number of years, being very active in the fields of both domestic law and criminal defense. Robinson was an active member of the Indigent Defense panel of attorneys who defended indigent defendants in Bibb County. He was often appointed to represent defendants who were mentally ill. This experience led him to seek to establish a Mental Health Court in Bibb County when he was later appointed Circuit Public Defender for the Macon Judicial Circuit. While in private practice, Robinson was active in the Macon Sertoma Club and served as president of M.A.C.D.L., the Macon Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”

“Good government is the outcome of private virtue.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever- present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
“There ought to be a law against necessity.”
—E.Y. Harburg (1898–1981)
