Meet our Staff
In 2000, NLPA was acquired by Robinson & Associates
Thomas Gaugh,
Senior Research Attorney
I joined the NLPA team in March, 2003. I believe in NLPA because this company helps protect the American way of life. According to the framers of the Constitution, all individuals were to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, and were presumed to have certain rights, regardless of the crime that they have been accused of committing. Through NLPA, the rights of criminal defendants are protected and preserved, thus guaranteeing the underlying foundations of the Constitution and the American judicial system.
Margaret Robinson
Director of Family Relations
Margaret is the wife of NLPA’s founder, H. Wesley Robinson. She has been involved in the fight to help protect inmates’ rights for more than twenty years. Although not an attorney, she likes to work with the wives, mothers and other family members who are experiencing the trauma of having a loved one incarcerated.
Darren Mullaney
Senior Research Attorney
Joined the NLPA team in 2006, Mr. Mullaney has a strong focus on pretrial cases as well as civil litigation.

Stephanie Shortt
Senior Case Manager
"I have been with NLPA since May of 2002. I enjoy working for NLPA because it makes me feel more defined as a person. I believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty but, that sometimes the "proven" part can be questionable. When clients contact us who have been wrongly convicted or enhanced in their case, I feel it gives us a sense of obligation not only to those clients but, to the system in general to take a stand for those who are unable to do so themselves. I enjoy working for a company with a winning track record and being a part of that continued success as each day passes." Pam Grimm
Senior Case Manager & Research Administration
"I began with NLPA in 1998 as a paralegal. I assist primarily in the final stages of NLPA's research product to ensure that all of the research and pleadings are sent timely and are of high quality that meets any local rules where they may be filed. I also assist in the preparation of administrative matters."

I have also received a certificate of completion for the Secretarial Administrative Services Program from Scarlet Oaks Career Development Campus in 1994."
Mark Konerman
Case Manager & Research Coordinator
