Attorney/Of Counsel – Latonia “Tonia” D. Robinson
Tonia graduated from Golden Gate University with an LLM in Intellectual Property. She has extensive experience with civil rights and personal injury litigation. In 2021, Tonia obtained a settlement recovery in a personal injury matter of $12M.
As a Navy veteran, Tonia understands the importance of communication and complete transparency. She knows that effective communication is one of the keys to success. She is highly adept with having remote access with clients from anywhere while simultaneously delivering excellent services and keeping the client abreast of their case every step of the way.
Before joining Huff Legal, Tonia worked in a civil rights firm and came across many people who wanted to start a business or had an idea but, unfortunately were unable to make the leap into putting their idea into action. She worked tirelessly for the civil rights firm but felt she was moving further away from her goal of helping clients build and protect their brand.
Tonia is not your average attorney. She tailors each client’s experience to meet the unique needs of that individual and believes that creative individuals deserve an equally creative legal experience, regardless of the obstacles and struggles that hinder them.
