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.
